California Governor Gavin Newsom’s first budget, estimated at $213 billion, has set aside nearly $100 million for illegal immigrants residing in the state, ages 19-25, to receive Medi-Cal coverage.

The Medi-Cal extension will make California the first state to provide health insurance for illegal aliens.
