Los Angeles County gave $52 million (from taxpayers’ Social Security funds) to illegal immigrants in the form of welfare checks for one month, last July. What I haven't heard is how much was given to illegal immigrants who were granted blanket amnesty and who are now citizens. I wish more people knew that illegal immigrants were draining our Social Security retirement. I didn't know that or that they were all granted amnesty in 1987 until just a few months ago. I'm voting for the first time in 20 years now. Our country is being overrun with help from our own government (by not enforcing our immigration laws and suing state and local governments trying to enforce our laws).
