Gov. Newsom: We Are Providing Emergency Funds for Businesses Run by Illegal Immigrants

EXCERPT:

NEWSOM: “And we have very specific processes on every proposal that we advance publicly, we have a culturally component — competent of those proposals, which is a long way of saying this, that we always consider those that are documented, those that are undocumented, those that are living in mixed-status families. Let me give you an example of what I mean. Just yesterday I announced the work we are doing to help support small businesses. I very specifically mentioned in my remarks yesterday that there are many businesses, tens of thousands of businesses that do not and cannot get the support of the SBA. Those individual businesses, we are making available these emergency grants through our IBank to do these microloans to provide access. That's an example of what we're doing to provide support for people across the panoply, including those without documentation in the state of California. More will be done and more needs to be done."
