Seattle leaders called on the Washington state government to establish a coronavirus relief fund that provides millions in cash assistance to illegal aliens.
The Seattle City Council passed a resolution Monday encouraging Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee and state lawmakers to establish a Washington Worker Relief Fund to “provide emergency economic assistance to undocumented Washingtonians,” according to the Seattle Times.
The article goes on to state the following:
City councillors are calling attention to illegal aliens in the state who do not qualify for federal assistance because of their immigration status, but have been suffering due to the declining economic conditions brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. The measure suggests the Washington Worker Relief Fund should begin with an initial allocation of $100 million.
The Seattle Times noted that the resolution was passed in a 9-0 vote, and Mayor Jenny Durkan is expected to add her signature.
The resolution also “asks the state leaders to create a wage-replacement system for workers who don’t qualify for regular unemployment benefits,” the report said.
“The measure urges Inslee and the Legislature to create a ‘Washington Worker Relief Fund,’ with an initial allocation of at least $100 million, ‘to provide emergency economic assistance to undocumented Washingtonians.’”https://t.co/8mBxDNOXyM

What about the homelessness issue/s? What about folks out of work due to this lockdown? What about closed businesses? Don’t we have other things to focus on/spend on? We need #RealRepresentation in Seattle as well. https://t.co/JMnrYGF2Si
