Says who? The government certainly says they aren’t. Just because you may be related to them in some way doesn’t mean municipal programs and funds should exist for them. They aren’t even registered as refugee, alien, or asylum seekers if they are undocumented. Why should they be allowed to then receive help or funds from government run social programs in lieu of full citizens?
On either side of the political spectrum you have people that don’t want this. I’d like a better path for these people as well, but not in this way either. Regardless of taxpayer status, there are still laws, and the people this would benefit have intentionally disregarded those laws, and that shouldn’t be rewarded. Especially not in California when practically nobody except the highest earning families can afford permanent housing.
