Sucking on the Government Teat
Open borders and illegal aliens sucking on the
government welfare teat are killing the taxpayers and
driving up unemployment for American citizens.
LOS ANGELES — The insane Marxist re-distribution of the California wealth goes on and on. The Socialists take money from those who earn it and pay illegal aliens for breaking the law and then giving birth in the state.
A projected $650 million in welfare benefits will be distributed to illegal alien parents in 2013, county officials said Monday.
Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich announced the latest figures from the Department of Public Social Services, which showed more than $376 million in CalWORKs benefits and food stamps combined have been distributed through July to illegal alien parents for their native-born children.
Approximately $54 million in welfare payments are issued each month, consisting of nearly $20 million in CalWORKs and $34 million in food stamp issuances, according to the data.
An estimated 100,000 children of 60,000 illegal alien parents receive aid in Los Angeles County, according to Antonovich, who said this year’s projections — up about $1 million from the nearly $53 million in total benefits issued in July 2012 — underscore the economic impact of the nation’s immigration debate.
“When you add the $550 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for healthcare, the total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers exceeds $1.6 billion a year,” Antonovich said in a statement. “These costs do not even include the hundreds of millions of dollars spent annually for education.”
