In 1994 California voters approved a ballot measure that blocks illegal aliens from receiving welfare benefits. Now State Senator Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles) has introduced a Senate Bill (396) that would overturn the 1994 vote and make these undocumented residents eligible for publicly-funded aid.
"These people are the poorest of the poor," de Leon said. "They came to this country to escape the poverty of their native lands. It is inhumane for us to deny them relief at the end of their arduous treks."
The Senator dismissed concerns that the State budget was already too strained to bear the cost of adding millions of new clients to its swollen welfare rolls. "Globally, we are a wealthy nation," de Leon countered. "The extra taxes we are asking Californians to pay are a small price in the quest for universal social justice."
Part of this quest for social justice "includes paying these immigrants for bearing the children American citizens are unwilling to produce," de Leon explained. "Fertility rates among natural born citizens are below replacement level. Unless we are prepared to see our population shrink we need to subsidize those who are willing to reproduce. It's as simple as that."
De Leon brushed aside reports that undocumented immigrants may be contributing to a resurgence of communicable diseases. "Thanks to President Obama's Affordable Care Act everyone, regardless of means, will be covered," de Leon asserted. "In any case, I'm sure that the net gain from immigration will easily exceed any increase in mortality from these diseases."

Well shucks. Why not? It’s not like they don’t have any money in Cali. :<{
It wouldn’t be fair to all those living in Africa and Asia if we don’t put them on it too. I am sure that’s their next thought.
The state is already broke, but they pretend this will somehow save taxpayer money.
California is a Company Store where Californians just fall deeper and deeper into debt
The true blue Dems in CA will be glad to have their taxes raised to finance the transfer of their state to Mexican conquest.
The new Okies will be Californians fleeing from the all-consuming government. Eventually communities will start going belly-up under the load of government employees and other benefit takers as the smart people head on to greener pastures. They’ll keep doubling down until the system finally collapses. Like the desperate farmers that plowed up ever more prairie last century, government at all levels is plowing up more and more of the tax base. Desolation will result.
Another head shaker John. Good one.
Please do one on the execrable Susan Rice.
This may be satire, but it sounds just like a California Democrat.
Although this is satire, it still is semi satire.
This is not satire, this is a fact. for the last 25 years or so, California's welfare agencies have been all but recruiting illegal aliens to have anchor babies born in California Hospitals with the hospital bills for both pre natal care and Labor and Delivery costs born fully by the United States and California taxpayers using both California and Federal tax revenues.
In 1992 over 60% of the babies delivered by O’Conner Hospital in Santa Clara were the anchor babies of illegal alien women with all of the costs being picked up by California DHS.
In fact, that's where the term “anchor babies’ originated
