OPINION | 'Migrants kept the food supply chain moving during the pandemic. California providing them with basic medical coverage is the right thing to do,' RubenNavarrette writes.
That program ensures that low-income residents have state-funded access to health care, and it already offers coverage to undocumented immigrants who are younger than 26 or older than 50. But, previously, the program left out the people in the middle—who it is safe to say represent the hardest-working and most-productive age cohort.
On the one hand, in the immigration debate—just like in the debates over gun control or abortion or vaccines or anything else—I eschew the extremes and aim for the center. That means being ready to compromise, negotiate, and give a little up to get a little back. You can’t overreach, get greedy or take too much. You have to be reasonable and restrained, and avoid the policies supported by the folks at the radical fringe.
Think about the gluttonous excesses of Texas Republicans when it comes to guns, abortion, and LGBTQ rights. Things can get ugly and crazy in a hurry when one side runs roughshod over the other, right? In California—which has the world’s fifth-largest economy with an annual gross state product of $3.4 trillion—if we didn’t have undocumented immigrants to keep the wheels turning, we’d have to invent them.
