As reported by KTLA, California Governor Jerry brown, in conjunction with leading human rights defenders will allocate 30 million dollars in financial support and legal services to young people who were illegally brought into the country in childhood. This step will be a response to the decision of the President of trump to cancel the program DACA, which protects the rights of young immigrants.
A proposal for fundingthat would be approved by the Senate Budget and Finance Committee on Tuesday, came a day after the attorney General of the state of California Xavier Beserra filed a lawsuit against Donald trump. The lawsuit urges the court to reverse the decision of the President to suspend the program,which provides temporary protection from deportation and work permits nearly 800,000 people across the country.
The Fund provides for the allocation of an additional $ 10 million for immigrant youth without legal residence rights. Most of these money will go to students of the colleges of the state, and $ 3 million will be allocated to the lending program to study at the California state University and the University of California.
The remaining $ 20 million will go to nonprofit organizationsthat help immigrants apply for the program or extend the status of the participant of DACA.
