The Department of Public Social Services reported over $636 million in welfare and food stamp benefits were issued to illegal alien parents for their native-born children in 2012, Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich said Monday.

The $636 million consisted of $234 million in CalWORKs (welfare) and $402 million in CalFresh (food stamps) – a $14 million increase over the previous year. More than 20% of the County’s public welfare funds are spent on illegal immigrants.

“With the $520 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for healthcare, the total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers exceeds $1 billion dollars a year,” said Antonovich. “These costs do not include the hundreds of millions of dollars for education.”
