California has new benefits for undocumented immigrants. They’re not enough, workers say
“Of the 1.6 million workers in the central San Joaquin Valley, an estimated 7% are undocumented, the report states.
Nearly 38% of noncitizen workers, and more than 61% of children living with noncitizen workers, live in households earning less than a living wage and face chronic and severe housing and food insecurity, the report states. ‘Unfortunately, such workers face high rates of extreme hardship and do not have access to unemployment benefits.'”
