The article could ONLY appear in a newspaper OTHER THAN THE LOS ANGELES TIMES.
The LA Times will NEVER run this story it should be front page news.
Quote:
The report represents an increase of nearly $3 million from November 2009. This amounts to approximately 22 percent of all CalWORKs and Food Stamp issuances in the county.
I don't know why Calif doesn't make it to where the applying adult MUST be a US Citizen to qualify for these benefits? Los Angeles becomes more of a cesspool everytime that I visit there.
I think olecapt has this mixed up with Orange County, Ca. Which neighbors LA County. There was an article posted about O.C. forking out millions of $ more for illegals than LA, county.
But that's just a small portion of SoCal.
The east side of LA county borders with the county I lived in, SanBernardino county(the largest county in the country) who has open arms for illegals. Further north is SanFernando Valley(Central valley) with most all run down farming towns.
And then to the south is SanDiego Co.
They've all been sucked dry with the help of County District Supervisors who encourage illegal immigration for the soul purpose of creating population growth. Which in turn raises the annual budget.
My point is: I left SoCal because I nolonger see any hope.
Not get off the subject:
The reason that Orange county is paying more for illegals than LA county is:
The city of LA isn't in LA Co, it's in Orange Co. and as long as LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is in office, SoCal doesn't have a chance.
The City of LA isn't in Los Angeles Cty?!!! What?
I can assure you that ALL of Los Angeles is in Los Angeles Cty.
It is not just in California. I wonder how many of the people who feel so sorry for these people realize that they are bankrupting the entire nation. I have heard the same story from those who know in other areas. The hospitals seem to be hit the hardest.
I believe if the public really knew how much these people are costing the taxpayers, they would be up in arms demanding that they be sent home.
And to think there are THOUSANDS of veterans of war who are homeless, on the street and UNABLE to get government assistance because they do not "qualify" .

Because in LA they have politicians, union leaders and others that are 1 or 2 generations removed from Illegal aliens and those that have Illegal alien family members. I do agree with you that California should put a stop to this.
What doesn't seem to get addressed much is that Illegals and Anchors compete for scarce resources with ALL Americans. Anchor babies are generally loyal to their own culture and Illegal parents homelands and that's where their sympathies lie.
LA has Americans of Hispanic heritage going back to the founding of this State and City and alot of them disagree with Illegal Immigration also, but this doesn't seem to merit much media coverage.

That's because there aren't enough of them who put the rule of law above their ethnicity. If they rose up in large numbers against illegal immigraton and screamed as loud as the pro-illegal advocates do I would be willing to bet it would get a lot of media coverage.
Keep in mind that the advocates would call them "coconuts and vendidos" if they did that just like they call us non-hispanics racists for having the same pro-laws mindset. It puts off a lot of people who then keep their opinions to themselves, unfortunately.
but but but I thought they put in more they take out???????????
Illegal immigration is killing this country.....plain and simple.
