Welfare benefits for the children of illegal immigrants cost America's largest county more than $600 million last year, according to a local official keeping tabs on the cost.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich released new statistics this week showing social spending for those families in his county rose to $53 million in November, putting the county government on track to spend more than $600 million on related costs for the year -- up from $570 million in 2009. Antonovich arrived at the estimate by factoring in the cost of food stamps and welfare-style benefits through a state program known as CalWORKS. Combined with public safety costs and health care costs, the official claimed the "total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers" was more than $1.6 billion in 2010. "Not including the hundreds of millions of dollars for education," he said in a statement. Antonovich's figures, though, center on costs generated by American-born children of illegal immigrants. Isabel Alegria, communications director at the California Immigrant Policy Center, said it's "unfair" to roll together costs associated with both illegal immigrants and U.S.-born citizens. "Those children are U.S. citizens, children eligible for those programs," Alegria said. She also questioned the authenticity of Antonovich's numbers regarding health care and public safety -- though for the welfare program statistics, Antonovich cited numbers from the county's Department of Public Social Services. Antonovich acknowledges that the children whose benefits he's focusing on are U.S.-born. But he argues that the money is collected by the illegal immigrant parents, putting a painful burden on taxpayers, including those who are legal immigrants. "The problem is illegal immigration. ... Their parents evidently immigrated here in order to get on social services," Antonovich spokesman Tony Bell said. "We can no longer afford to be HMO to the world." He said the state should cut back on these social benefits. According to the November statistics, that cost accounted for 22 percent of all food stamp and CalWORKS spending in the county. Over the summer, the Federation for American Immigration Reform also looked at these kinds of costs nationwide to get an idea of the burden to local governments at a time when many are grappling with budget deficits. The organization reported that the cost of illegal immigration stands at about $113 billion a year. Nearly half of that amount went toward education costs, according to the study. Costs were naturally higher in states with large illegal immigrant populations -- in California, the total annual cost was pegged at $21.8 billion. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/19/welfare-tab-children-illegal-immigrants-estimated-m-la-county/# |

Bet they didn't tell you that in the article HUH?\ Fox is such garbage. More hatemongering at it's best. |

I see the Anchor Baby law being repealed in the near future. Not. California would still use their state dollars to pay for the babies even if they aren't legally here. California is a liberal state. They believe in giving all humans rights, |

California has the right to use their state taxes on anything they want.

California has the right to use their state taxes on anything they want. Not if the FED makes it illegal to support them with tax dollars. |

Just a thought.
If I estimate the cost of gasoline for the average american based on how much I buy... How far off would my 'estimate' be. When such an article has actual numbers I might read it and decide it is a fact. When I read that the 'estimated' cost of ANYTHING is such and such I am reminded of the whole left right 'estimating' of the cost of Health Care... and the left/right 'estimation' that 'bailouts' had to happen cause the world would 'die' without them. B S beeper is in full beep mode. beeep beeep beeep. This article is (as are most such articles) slanted. slant to the left. Slant to the right. Keep right on slanting folks. If you sky downhill in a forest with a blindfold on eventually you will hit a tree. Ouch. |

Or what dragoness calls 'hatemongering' (this is article is not 'hatemongering' it is 'right slanted propaganda') we saw some of that from the other side in congress today. (left slanted propaganda -your babies are gonna die if the Republicans have their way and that other obviouse trash about the holocaust). YES the so called 'anchor baby' law needs to be modified (it should be obvious that it is being abused)... MODIFIED not repealed... There is a reason why it exists. However the constant insistance that opposing views are 'hatemongering' is distastefull... THERE IS A VAST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HATEMONGERING AND PROPAGANDA. KKK HATE MONGERS. BLACK PANTHERS (in their new aspect) HATEMONGER. This article contains no hate... Just a misguided piece of sick propaganda. |

Hatemongering it is.
Anything that makes people target babies on one type of human has to be hatemongering. Fox is nothing but hatemongering and fearmongering so what do you expect, |

Without discussing other posters like I am suppose to.
This rhetoric is hatemongering. It is targeting a certain type of human babies. That is pretty sick for Fox to hatemonger babies too. And they are citizens of this country who got their citizenship THE EXACT SAME WAY ALL NATURAL BORN CITIZENS DID

Hatemongering it is. Anything that makes people target babies on one type of human has to be hatemongering. Fox is nothing but hatemongering and fearmongering so what do you expect, We are not targeting babies, we are targeting laws that give citizenship to the children of illegals just because they are born here. We are not saying revoke citizenship we are saying don't give it in the first place. |
