Press Release | Thursday, Jul 23, 2015

[Supv. Antonovich] – Los Angeles County Mayor Michael D. Antonovich announced that the Department of Public Social Services issued $291 million in
welfare and food stamp benefits to illegal alien parents for their native-born children during the first six months of 2015. At this rate, the county will
spend nearly $600 million in benefits for illegal immigrants by the end of the year.


Approximately $110 million was spent in CalWORKs (welfare) and $180 million was spent in CalFresh (food stamps) from January thru June.

More than 20 percent of the county’s public welfare funds are spent on illegal immigrants. This does not include the $550 million spent on public safety,
nearly $500 million on healthcare, and hundreds of millions spent on education.


“Illegal immigration continues to cost County taxpayers nearly $2 billion dollars a year and siphons resources away from vital municipal services for
legal immigrants and county residents,” Antonovich said.
