Illegal Aliens Cost County $100+ Million in June-July
SCV News ^ | September 26, 2012 | Mike Antonovich

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services reported that more than $100 million in welfare benefits were issued to illegal alien parents for their native-born children in June and July alone, announced Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.

The $100 million consists of nearly $40 million in CalWORKs (welfare) and $70 million in food stamps — representing 22% of all CalWORKs and food stamp issuances in the County. At this rate, the projected annual cost is more than $625 million.

“With the $550 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for healthcare, the total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers exceeds $1.6 billion dollars a year,” said Antonovich. “These costs do not include the hundreds of millions of dollars for education.”

That's just 1 county. Anyone who claims to care about the economy cannot waffle on immigration and border control.

Assuming there are 30 million illegals in America, that's enough to create some 50 congressional districts and they don't even need to vote to do it. If they do vote, you can pretty much count on those districts being almost exclusively democrat. As it is we don't know how many districts exist almost wholly due to the presence of illegals.

The costs of administering a single district must run into the millions. How much pork can a district seek? How many earmarks? What will all those new democrat congressmen vote for?

If you think Obamacare is bad, you haven't seen squat. Wait till the day all those democrats start dictating how many cars a family can have, what job you can have, or where you can live. Wait till they dictate that all paychecks come from government and you get a small cut of what is left over.

Illegals are nothing but government growth hormone and amnesty today is nothing short of treason.

Well this goes a bit beyond politics...

If it wasn’t for the insatiable lust for cheap labor in the fields 90% of the Africans in this country would still be in Africa and probably 85% of the Mexicans would still be in Mexico.

CalWORKs (welfare)

That's an irritatingly mistitled program.

It doesn’t look like costs for the illegals’ `graduate school’ educations, room and board were mentioned.

“In California, it’s estimated that prisoners who are illegal immigrants cost the state at least $1 billion per year just to keep them in prison.”

If the USA doesn’t get a handle on our immigration laws and—more importantly—enforcement of those laws, we’re going to be as screwed as the Golden state.

Awesome. Just add it to the $481 billion we gave Syria today and the $70,000 spent apologizing for us because he lied.

It’s a good thing all those illegals are hard-working and bring greater wealth than they consume. And don’t forget the added benefits of increased diversity and the conservative outlooks of family and education new immigrants bring. </s>
