L.A. City Council to consider $56-million Arizona boycott over illegal-immigration law

The Los Angeles City Council could take a significant step in protesting Arizona's crackdown on illegal immigration Wednesday when it considers up to $56 million in Arizona-related investments the city could boycott.
The list includes airline service into Arizona and the harbor's clean truck incentive program.
Officials are recommending that the City Council suspend travel to the state, refrain from entering new contracts and review current ones for possible termination.
Los Angeles officials joined with other cities across the country in calling for an economic boycott of Arizona after lawmakers there passed a tough immigration law that critics say will lead to racial profiling.
The law, which will take effect July 23, makes it a crime for unauthorized migrants to be in Arizona and requires police to check the immigration papers of those they suspect may be in the country illegally.
The report was prepared by Chief Legislative Analyst Gerry F. Miller, who recommended that the council adopt a revised resolution that expresses city opposition to the use of federal funds to implement the Arizona law, saying it encourages racial profiling, violates constitutional guarantees of due process and equal protection and undermines federal authority over immigration.
The proposed resolution notes that the city imposed economic sanctions in the past to protest such actions as South Africa's apartheid policies and Colorado's 1992 repeal of local ordinances that banned discrimination based on sexual orientation.
"This is not just about Los Angeles; it's a significant response to legislation that hurts a whole slice of the population," said Councilman Ed Reyes, one of seven council members calling for a boycott. "We hope to create an economic ripple effect not only in dollars but also in sending a message to others concerning the discriminatory effect of this legislation."
However, the Harbor Department and Los Angeles World Airports expressed concern about possible termination of their contracts with Arizona businesses. The Harbor Department, for instance, has four contracts with Arizona firms totaling $25.6 million, mostly involving a clean truck incentive program.
Under the program, three Arizona firms have brought hundreds of newer short-haul trucks with significantly lower emissions into Southern California. The harbor's $56-million program is projected to reduce port-related truck pollution 80% by 2012.
"The program has been phenomenally successful," said Arley Baker, a port spokesman. "We don't recommend rescinding the contracts due to adverse effects on the environment and public health."
Los Angeles World Airports has three equipment and maintenance contracts worth $77,000 and receives $22 million in revenue from two Arizona-based airlines -- US Airways and Mesa Air.
"We need to do additional research into our ability to limit Arizona-based airlines from using LAWA airports," said airport spokeswoman Nancy Suey Castles.
Reyes said he also supports a cautious approach to make sure the city would not be sued over any boycott action. The analyst's report contains several caveats, such as refraining from entering new contracts with Arizona "to the extent practicable and in instances where there is no significant additional cost to the City nor conflict with the law."
"We still need to be careful how we approach it so we aren't vulnerable to legal actions that would have a whiplash effect on our general funds," Reyes said.

SANCTUARY COUNTY LOS ANGELES SPENDS $600 MILLION ON WELFARE FOR ILLEGALS
County Spends $600 Mil On Welfare For Illegal Immigrants
Last Updated: Thu, 03/11/2010 - 3:14pm
For the second consecutive year taxpayers in a single U.S. county will dish out more than half a billion dollars just to cover the welfare and food-stamp costs of illegal immigrants.
Los Angeles County, the nation’s most populous, may be in the midst of a dire financial crisis but somehow there are plenty of funds for illegal aliens. In January alone, anchor babies born to the county’s illegal immigrants collected more than $50 million in welfare benefits. At that rate the cash-strapped county will pay around $600 million this year to provide illegal aliens’ offspring with food stamps and other welfare perks.
THE EXORBITANT FIGURE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ENORMOUS COST OF EDUCATING, MEDICALLY TREATING, OR INCARCERATING ILLEGALS ALIENS. THIS COSTS THE COUNTY AN ADDITIONAL ONE BILLION DOLLARS.
The exorbitant figure, revealed this week by a county supervisor, doesn’t even include the enormous cost of educating, medically treating or incarcerating illegal aliens in the sprawling county of about 10 million residents. Los Angeles County annually spends more than $1 billion for those combined services, including $500 million for healthcare and $350 million for public safety.
About a quarter of the county’s welfare and food stamp issuances go to parents who reside in the United States illegally and collect benefits for their anchor babies, according to the figures from the county’s Department of Social Services. In 2009 the tab ran $570 million and this year’s figure is expected to increase by several million dollars.
Illegal immigration continues to have a “catastrophic impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,” the veteran county supervisor (Michael Antonovich) who revealed the information has said. The former fifth-grade history teacher has repeatedly come under fire from his liberal counterparts for publicizing statistics that confirm the devastation illegal immigration has had on the region. Antonovich, who has served on the board for nearly three decades, represents a portion of the county that is roughly twice the size of Rhode Island and has about 2 million residents.
His district is simply a snippet of a larger crisis. Nationwide, Americans pay around $22 billion annually to provide illegal immigrants with welfare benefits that include food assistance programs such as free school lunches in public schools, food stamps and a nutritional program (known as WIC) for low-income women and their children. Tens of billions more are spent on other social services, medical care, public education and legal costs such as incarceration and public defenders.
