APRIL WELFARE COSTS FOR CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL ALIENS EXCEEDS $52 MILLION

May 28, 2010—Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich released figures from the Department of Public Social Services showing that in April 2010, $52 million in welfare benefits ($22 million CalWORKs + $30 million in Food Stamps) were issued to parents who reside in the United States illegally and collect benefits for their native-born children in Los Angeles County. This amounts to approximately 23% of all CalWORKs and Food Stamp issuances in the County.

In 2009, CalWORKs and Food Stamp issuances to illegals totaled nearly $570 million. The total costs for CalWORKs and Food Stamps for children of illegal aliens has risen steadily by an additional $1 million cost to the taxpayers each month since January 2009.


“When you add this to $540 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for healthcare, the total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year – not including the hundreds of millions of dollars for education,” said Antonovich.

===============================

Schwarzenegger still wants that governor's meeting though. So does Bill Richardson.

Perhaps they can find a host down in Mexico City.

that is simply amazing. these numbers never cease to amaze me.
isnt arnie the one who says illegals are not a burden?

Excuse me, but Californians know why we are broke. Remember at one time like Arizona we tried to stop this. We didn't get support from the rest of the U.S., because it hadn't came to your doorsteps yet.

Our state government is now full of hispanics due to the increase of votes from anchor babies, etc. I really don't like Schwarzenegger, but living here and watching our politics I have to say he has vetoed a lot of bills our legislature have tried to pass for illegal aliens. Like Cedillo's famous driver license bill for illegal aliens. Last count Cedillo has tried to get this past our governor 10 times.

Right on montereysherry, let's tell the truth about this. Does anyone really think Californians don't know why our schools are failing, our city and county budgets are running huge deficits, library closings, the only people with jobs in many California towns are the government workers and the ones working for non-profits who are making their living off of illegals and their needs.

If it isn't like this in your area, wait a minute, it's on the way.

THEY KNOW VERY WELL WHY THEIR STATE IS NOT ABLE TO PAY ITS BILLS. I COULD HAVE TOLD THEM IF THEY HAD ONLY ASKED AND FURTHER MORE THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY STATE THATS BROKE BECAUSE OF TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE CRIMINALS

HE'S AN IDIOT TOO

I have never seen an article about what it costs NYC. NEVER!

The people here in NYC and the state of NY are deprived of statistics that "The Powers that Be" know and control. Now tell me that's NOT A CONSPIRACY!
