Blue state considers unemployment benefits for undocumented immigrants as Title 42 expires.

California is considering a bill that would provide unemployment benefits to illegal immigrants who have been laid off, with funds from state coffers. The proposed legislation is estimated to cost $356 million in state funds. Payroll taxes on illegal immigrants contribute $485 million a year to the state's Unemployment Insurance system. The bill is set for review this week as the state braces for an influx of migrants following Title 42's expiration.
