No, it'd be better to have the assistance come from voluntary contributions (though I'm betting the Trump administration would find some way to harass/intimidate such contributors with lawfare).To the no borders crowd, you good with this?

I think you could sum up the open borders positions quite pragmatically though: if you take away the "Immigration raids" (the open border position) then there would be no need for the cash assistance being offered to those people impacted by said "immigration raids".
Most of which is to replace the incomes of people that have been taken into custody. There are other programs to assure routine medical access to immigrants who are afraid to visit doctors and hospitals (assuring virtual/telemedicine access and/or home visits by trusted professionals who won't turn them in). Food delivery services for immigrants afraid to access public dispensaries that are being monitored. Parental preparedness for families (preparing for loss of a breadwinner), Parental support (like child care) when one parent has been taken into custody. Education and outreach to inform immigrants of their rights. Legal assistance. All things which come about due to the "raid activities"Unless it was cash assistance for housing and food and transportation and medical care and heating and electric and so on and on.
