Undocumented LA County Parents On Pace To Receive $650M In Welfare Benefits « CBS Los Angeles

“When you add 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,” Antonovich said in a statement. “These costs do not even include the hundreds of millions of dollars spent annually for education.”

We really need to take care of our own first.

It is an interesting problem, as clearly this isn't desired yet the bulk of the benefits are because of legal children of illegal immigrants.

So we solve by either ensuring only the US citizens meant to receive this largess receive it directly themselves (child food kitchens?) or repeal the 14th amendment's birthright citizenship clause. Option B seems a lot more realistic in terms of implementation.

Conservative Media's Misplaced Hysteria Over Immigrants And Welfare

In a July report, the Institute On Taxation And Economic Policy found that undocumented immigrants in California pay more than $2.2 billion in state and local taxes and estimated that the number would increase by $327 million if the state's undocumented residents were legalized.

<snip>

But these facts were missing from the overall coverage on the report. Instead, it was reduced to the mass hysteria over undocumented immigrants and welfare -- a time-trodden pastime of the conservative set. In fact, as has been proven over and over again, immigrants are less likely than native-born Americans to rely on government benefit programs.


LOL - "facts were missing" and Republicans go batshit crazy... whoda thunk?
