ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Illegals living in Los Angeles County were handed almost $1.3 billion in welfare payouts between the months of 2015 and 2016, Fox News reported, citing data.
That’s billion with a capital “B.”
That’s a quarter of what the county distributed to its entire needy population in those same months.
Liberals and government elitists always like to make the case that citizens ought to support some cheap-sounding fee- or tax-paying cause by grandly pronouncing, “It’s just the cost of a cup of coffee,” or “If everyone just gave up their Starbucks lattes, it’d pay for itself.”
Well, guess what $1.3 billion could pay for?
Los Angeles County is a massive draw for illegals, with more than a million flocking there and setting up home — and now we know why. Not only is it hallowed sanctuary ground; it’s also, apparently, taxpayer-dole-out central.
Look at this, from Robert Rector with the Heritage Foundation: “They get $3 in benefits for every $1 they spend,” he said, speaking of the costs of education, police, fire, medical and housing that illegals get, compared to what they pay back by way of taxes.
This isn’t conjecture. It’s based on analysis of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services database.
Among the findings: In 2015, more than 58,000 families received $602 million in benefits. In 2016, more than 64,000 families received $675 million.
It’s good to be an illegal, yes?
But the madness is statewide.
In 2013, the entire state of California spent a total of $25.3 billion on illegals — roughly $2,370 per U.S. citizen household, the Federal for American Immigration Reform reported.
Democrats, the ones fueling these taxpayer hand-outs, are completely off the rails.

Mny of the illegals that do pay taxes are using someone else's identity to do so, and we all know it's no fun to be the victim of identity theft. Regardless, it's a bad and expensive situation, and I'm glad the current administration is trying to do something about it instead of looking the other way as the previous one did.

You know if the "the original Indians had" had put up the wall Before the first European came to America.
We would not be having this problem!
Think about it.

Think about it.
But they didn't and there were no immigration laws back then anyway. We wouldn't be having this problem today if our government had enforced our immigration laws decades ago like they should have.
Glad the current administration and the DOJ is tackling the issue of illegal immigration. There is nothing California or any other state or city that harbors illegal aliens can do to stop them.
Consider CA has so many illegals, some cities would be left as empty shells without them. Ca would be in ruin.
I beg to differ. Housing will be more affordable with more vacancies and less cars on the road is great fro everybody legally here. Thats just 2 points

It already is in ruins.
