In 2016, undocumented immigrant entrepreneurs generated over $3 billion in business income in California.(c) In 2017, individuals eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) earned over $23 billion in income and paid almost $1.8 billion in state and local taxes; more than 43,000 were entrepreneurs, providing jobs and supporting local economies.

Efforts funded under SEED are intended to supplement and be aligned with the broader workforce and education system in California.(d) It is the intent of the Legislature to allow persons who are not lawfully present in the United States, as members of the SEED target populations, to participate in and benefit from the SEED Initiative, and this section is therefore enacted pursuant to Section 1621(d) of Title 8 of the United States Code.(Added by Stats. 2020, Ch. 14, Sec. 10.
