LOS ANGELES - Through their citizen children, illegal immigrants in Los Angeles County collect $420 million annually in welfare and food stamps, according to a report requested by 5th District County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services told the supervisor that payments to illegal immigrants’ children amount to approximately 24% of the county’s combined CalWORKS and food stamps budget, officials said.

"What we found was kind of astonishing," said Tony Bell, an Antonovich aide.

Each month, the county doles out $77 million in CalWORKS assistance, $20 million of which goes to the citizen dependent children of illegal immigrants, said Helen Berberian, another Antonovich aide. CalWORKS is the state’s welfare-to-work program.

Along with CalWORKS assistance, the county approves $70 million every month in food stamps, with $15 million going to legal children of illegal immigrants, Berberian said.

The welfare payments go to nearly 100,000 children of 60,000 illegal immigrants, Antonovich’s staff said. His staff estimated that Los Angeles County has almost 12% of the United States’ illegal immigrant population.

To a total of 10.5 BILLION dollars a year in California. Food, housing, free healthcare, free education, prison incarceration (over 30% of California's prison population is illegal).

Yet another reason to flee this godforsaken state. Why do you think we are one of only a few states in the union that charge a state income tax? Have to support our illegal alien population!

I love California. It is where I was born and where I lived my childhood, but it is NOTHING like it was 30 years ago. California is indeed northern Mexico, or as we who live here like to call it, Mexifornia.
