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.”
