When They Ask Why New York Collapsed, It Was Decisions Like This

New York state legislators this week granted a $2.1 billion fund that will give cash to illegal aliens and other so-called excluded workers who lost their employment during the COVID-19 pandemic but were unfit for federal stimulus checks, unemployment aid, or other goods.

The Excluded Worker Fund will spread a one-time payment to workers who lost jobs or income during the pandemic.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, essential workers across the state risked their lives to keep our state moving and our families safe,” Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, a Democrat, said in a statement. “When unemployment rates skyrocketed last summer, many of those selfless workers were excluded from any type of federal assistance during this pandemic and we must take care of all New Yorkers.”

People can get up to $15,600 total; taxes will be subtracted before they receive the money. Workers won’t be eligible unless they were making less than $26,208 in the 12 months before the bill taking effect and unless they can show they can still work. People must show a real taxpayer number and a letter from an employer, along with other papers, to get the maximum payments.

People who can’t meet the more rigorous documentation conditions can still receive a $3,200 payment, given they prove their identity and residency.

Nearly 290,000 people will get coins from the fund, according to the Fiscal Policy Institute.

Illegal aliens and supporters engaged in a week-long hunger strike to push for the formation of the fund in the state’s resources. The community group Persist Brooklyn shared a story with state lawmakers during a recent public hearing about Ana, a pseudonym, a Honduran mother who entered the United States from Mexico in early 2020.

Ana was denied asylum and, during the pandemic, “lost what meager profits she was making selling goods in the street,” Cole Edick of Persist Brooklyn told lawmakers.

“Pursuing asylum should be Ana’s right, not a privilege reserved only for those who can pay for it. But because this government has not yet found the courage to ensure the basic needs of people like Ana during a national crisis, she has had to put her rights on hold,” he added.

California passed a similar fund in February, giving a one-time $600 or $1,200 payment to illegal immigrants.

The Excluded Worker Fund was ultimately included in New York’s record $212 billion 2021-2022 budget, which will be financed with funds from the federal government and higher taxes on the wealthy and large corporations.
