Lou Dobbs Tonight
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Gov. Schwarzenegger said California is facing “financial Armageddon”. He is making drastic cuts in the budget for education, health care and services. But there is one place he isn’t making cuts… services for illegal immigrants. These services are estimated to cost the state four to five billion dollars a year. Schwarzenegger said he is “happy” to offer these services. We will have a full report tonight.

CALIFORNIA UNDER MEXICAN OCCUPATION – WHO REALLY PAYS FOR IT?
This is something that I don't understand:
1 - Teacher's are being told that they will have to take pay cuts or somewhere between 3,500 to 8,000 will have to be let go.
2 - State employees have had to accept pay cuts by taking additional days off or thousands would be terminated.
3 - Students attending college will expect to have to pay up to 25 percent more or they won't be back next year.
4 - Did somebody say that the DMV is open only 4 days a week? I'm not sure on this one. I heard it 2nd had.
5 - Within the next 2 years expect postal services to only deliver mail 5 days a week instead of 6. Some say it should be cut to 4.
6 - 9 postal offices that are being eliminated in California due to the cost of keeping them open.
7 - Transit workers are going to go on strike if they don't get raises now. The transit authority has said go ahead it's not happening.
8 - An untold number of hospitals have already been closed down in California the last 5 years due to rising costs.
9 - Prison costs are in the Billions of dollars here in California.
10 - Schools are having to spend additional costs to have classes are taught in Spanish because of the amount of student here that don't speak English.
11 - If you go to any of the Public Health Clinics in which they advertised to be giving H1N1 vaccines. If you are older or have conditions like Diabetes, Heart problems or a Respiratory condition you will be told that you will get your shot right after any woman "claims" to be pregnant - they don't have to show any proof that they are pregnant even though it's be said most of the women that claim the are pregnant when there not - which is happening - or if your under the age of 15. It doesn't matter that you are considered a "very high risk" of dying if you catch the N1H1 Flu. Regardless if the two groups of people I listed are here legally or not. That's right you as an citizen of the U.S. you really don't matter.
I could go on but I think if you have 1/2 a brain you know where I'm going here!!
Obama said that nobody in the U.S. that is here illegally with be included in the new Health care plan. But he also said that's why we will have to "reclassify them". Gee I wonder what that means?
Nancy Pelosi has already said that Amnesty is a done deal.
Barbara Boxer is fighting with ICE - because she doesn't want any illegals deported. Hell once they've been "reclassified" the term of illegal immigrants will cease to exist.
Now I don't know first hand what Arnold has said - but I believe he has said things that end up meaning that he supports Amnesty for illegal immigrant

“Numerous other reports have documented the enormous cost of illegal immigration on a national level. Just last year a renowned economist, who has thoroughly researched the impact of illegal immigration, published a book breaking down the country’s $346 billion annual cost to educate, jail, medically treat and incarcerate illegal aliens throughout the U.S.”

WELFARE COSTS FOR CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL ALIENS IN L.A. COUNTY OVER $48 MILLION IN JUNE
August 11, 2009—Figures from the Department of Public Social Services show that children of illegal aliens in Los Angeles County collected nearly $22 million in welfare and over $26 million in food stamps in June, announced Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich. Projected over a 12 month period – this would exceed $575 million dollars.
Annually the cost of illegal immigration to Los Angeles County taxpayers exceeds over $1 billion dollars, which includes $350 million for public safety, $400 million for healthcare, and $500 million in welfare and food stamps allocations. Twenty-four percent of the County’s total allotment of welfare and food stamp benefits goes directly to the children of illegal aliens born in the United States.
“Illegal immigration continues to have a catastrophic impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,” said Antonovich. “The total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers exceeds $1 billion a year – not including the millions of dollars for education.”

Illegals Have Bankrupted California.
So, you wondered why LA RAZA, the virulently racist Mexican supremacist party endorses, FEINSTEIN, BOXER, PELOSI, LOFGREN, HONDA, ESHOO, WAXMAN, BACA, FARR, BECERRA, both SANCHEZ sisters and of course the great HISPANDERER, BARACK OBAMA?

California Broke, Thanks Mexico

In hosting America’s largest population of illegal immigrants, California bears a huge cost to provide basic human services for this fast growing, low-income segment of its population. A new study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) examines the costs of education, health care and incarceration of illegal aliens, and concludes that the costs to Californians is $10.5 billion per year.
Among the key finding of the report are that the state’s already struggling K-12 education system spends approximately $7.7 billion a year to school
the children of illegal aliens who now constitute 15 percent of the student body. Another $1.4 billion of the taxpayers’ money goes toward providing
health care to illegal aliens and their families, the same amount that is spent incarcerating illegal aliens criminals.
“California’s addiction to ‘cheap’ illegal alien labor is bankrupting the state and posing enormous burdens on the state’s shrinking middle class tax base,”
stated Dan Stein, President of FAIR. “Most Californians, who have seen their taxes increase while public services deteriorate, already know the impact that
mass illegal immigration is having on their communities, but even they may be shocked when they learn just how much of a drain illegal immigration has become.”
The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Californians focuses on three specific program areas because those were the costs examined by researchers from the Urban Institute in 1994.
Looking at the costs of education, health care and incarceration for illegal aliens in 1994, the Urban Institute estimated that California was subsidizing illegal immigrants to the
tune of about $1.1 billion. The enormous rise in the costs of illegal immigrants over the intervening ten years is due to the rapid growth in illegal residents. It is reasonable to
expect those costs to continue to soar if action is not taken to turn the tide.
“Nineteen ninety-four was the same year that California voters rebelled and overwhelmingly passed Proposition 187, which sought to limit liability for mass illegal immigration.
Since then, state and local governments have blatantly ignored the wishes of the voters and continued to shell out publicly financed benefits on illegal aliens,” said Stein.
“Predictably, the costs of illegal immigration have grown geometrically, while the state has spiraled into a fiscal crisis that has brought it near bankruptcy.
“Nothing could more starkly illustrate the very high costs of ‘cheap labor’ than California’s current situation,” continued Stein. “A small number of
powerful interests in the state reap the benefits, while the average native-born family in California gets handed a nearly $1,200 a year bill.”

1. It is ILLEGAL to be here without proper papers ( citzenship or work permits )....if they are here breaking the law to get here.....how do we expect them to obey the law when they are here?
2. 68% of all housed inmates in California prison's are illegal latinos costing the state approximately 14 billion per year to keep locked up.
3 47 % of all child molestation cases last year were from illegal aliens. "In those instances, the illegal immigrants typically gained access to the victims after having worked as a day laborer at or near the victims' homes," she says. "Victims ranged in age from 1 year old to 13 years old, with the average age being 6."
4. 617, or 41 %, were sexual homicides and serial murders by illegal aliens. "The murders were the worst of the sex crimes and were especially vicious. The most common method was for an offender to break into a residence and ambush his victims. Not only were victims raped, but some (6%) were mutilated. The crime scenes were very bloody, expressing intense, angry perpetrator personalities. Specifically, most victims were blitzed, rendered incapable of fighting back, and then raped and murdered. The most common method of killing was bludgeoning, followed by stabbing. Caucasians were more likely to become victims of sexual homicide committed by illegal immigrants. Hispanics were second, and African Americans were third."
5. Schurman-Kauflin states that the illegal alien population includes 240,000 sex offenders – a "conservative estimate," she says. She goes on to say, "This translates to 93 sex offenders and 12 serial sexual offenders coming across U.S. borders illegally per day." She points out the 1,500 offenders in her study had a total of 5,999 victims, an average of four victims for each sex offender and says, "This places the estimate for victimization numbers around 960,000 for the 88 months examined in this study."
6. The Schurman-Kauflin study noted that "Nearly 63% of the offenders had been deported on another offense prior to the sex crime." Note the word "deported," something that often comes up when we are talking about the crimes committed by illegal aliens. That means they were once removed from the country but came back in again to commit the crime! In this case, lack of any serious border security allowed the additional crime to happen – an additional 82,473 sex crimes – per year!
7. "Illegal immigrants who commit sex crimes first cross the U.S. border illegally. Then they gradually commit worse crimes and are continually released back into society or deported. Those who were deported simply returned illegally again. Only 2% of the offenders in this study has no history of criminal behavior, beyond crossing the border illegally. There is a clear pattern of criminal escalation. From misdemeanors such as assault or DUI, to drug offenses, illegal immigrants who commit sex crimes break U.S. laws repeatedly. They are highly mobile, work in low skilled jobs with their hands, use drugs and alcohol, are generally promiscuous, have little family stability, and choose victims who are easy to attack. Their attacks are particularly brutal, and they use a hands-on method of controlling and/or killing their victims."
8, "Women and girls are trafficked from many countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Mexico is the number one source for young female sex slaves in North America. Tlaxcala, in Central Mexico serves as a hotbed for slave traders. Young women and girls are abducted, tricked, and sometimes sold by poor families into a caged life. Highly prized are 12 year old girls sneaking across the border into the United States. The girls are grabbed by Los Lenones, aka pimps, and dragged to unfamiliar areas where they are ‘broken in.' It is well known that this often occurs in Mexico. The initiation process entails 20-30 men per day having brutal sex with the girls and women. Victims are beaten, drugged, and repeatedly raped until their wills are broken. It is then that the sale is possible.
9, "Recently an outbreak of hepatitis traced to Chi-Chi's Mexican restaurant, in Pennsylvania was inexplicably traced to contaminated green onions, not the most obvious cause, undocumented food workers who harbored Hepatitis. For the most part, Hepatitis is a blood-borne, not a food-borne disease. The Hepatitis outbreak infected over 650 individuals, caused 9,000 Americans to undergo immune globulin shots, and killed 4 people.
If Americans found out restaurants can commonly infect their customers from food workers, it would be a serious blow to the restaurant industry. Better blame the green onions. Let's concede the onions, grown in Mexico, were contaminated from fecal material containing Hepatitis. Did all the green onions imported from Mexico end up in one single restaurant? There were no other outbreaks of Hepatitis anywhere elsewhere from green onions. There were 13 mexican restaurant workers who had Hepatitis. They were the likely source of the transmitted infection.
All these diseases and pathogens, and a plethora of others that are not endemic to the US, are being brought in by unscreened illegal aliens who then spread them to an unsuspecting population. These diseases will give you something to think about the next time you are eating at a restaurant with the grunt work being done by illegal aliens who didn't have medical screening before preparing and handling your food.
10. However, the direct cost of educating the children of illegal aliens is somewhere between $29 and $35 BILLION dollars a year. You can add in another billion or two for the costs of supplemental feeding programs and other welfare benefits administered through the schools but which are off the "education costs" in the school budgets.
Most illegal aliens are working in lower paying jobs are often sharing houses and apartments with other families. Most pay little or no state or federal income taxes and, because they have low incomes and frugal lifestyles, they pay little sales taxes as well. The local and state taxes illegal aliens pay, comes no where near paying for the education costs of their children. The difference is picked up by the tax paying public. Since many localities fund public schools through real estate taxes, this often means escalating taxes which put an enormous burden on elderly home owners living on fixed incomes.
11. Digressing for a moment, what the hell was a convicted, illegal alien sex offender even doing out of jail or not immediately deported – even if 63% do come right back - let alone roaming around the neighborhoods while on a registry! Has the judicial system in this country gone insane?
In any case, Operation Predator began on July 9, 2003, and resulted in 6,085 child predator arrests throughout the country - an average of roughly 250 arrests per month and eight arrests per day. While arrests have been made in every state, the most have occurred in these states: Arizona (207), California (1,578), Florida (255), Illinois (282), Michigan (153), Minnesota (190), New Jersey (423), New York (367), Oregon (148) and Texas (545).
While Operation Predator was a noble effort and ICE is to be commended, it only made a small dent in the criminal activity and number of horrific crimes being committed by illegal alien child sexual predators.
12. An article in the San Francisco Chronicle stated that Mexicans living in the U.S. send between $6 and $8 billion back to their families every year, making them the third-biggest legitimate force in the Mexican economy, after oil and tourism. Additionally, US taxpayers pay for all the direct and indirect costs of "housing" the Mexican illegal aliens. In essence, it's an unofficial form of foreign aide. Mexico isn't about to control its borders, since Mexicans fleeing their country for work in the U.S. send plenty of money back to their own country.
While the $6-8 billion number is often quoted, a fairly recent story in The Brownsville Herald, Banks seek stake in billions sent home, notes that some estimates place the amount of dollars going south in 2006 will be $45 Billion, which was up from an estimated $30 Billion in 2004.
Regardless of the amount, all that money is leaving the US economy and not creating additional job opportunities here. Additionally, all that money represents jobs Americans used to have.
13. "All the research suggests that the reason illegal aliens create large fiscal [deficits] for the country is not their legal status, but rather their educational attainment. Sixty percent of illegals are thought not to have even a high school education, another twenty percent, a high school education only. All the research suggests that people with relatively little education make relatively little money in the modern American economy ...[As] a consequence, they tend to pay relatively little in taxes, even if they are legal and on the books.
At the same time, [these individuals] tend to use a fair amount in public services, reflecting their lower incomes. I estimate illegals pay about $16 billion a year to the Federal Government in taxes ... the difference between what they pay in taxes and use in services is about $10 billion. So right now the net drain on the Federal Government alone from illegal families is about $10 billion. If we began to legalize [these individuals] and they began to pay taxes and use services like legal immigrants with the same level of education, the net fiscal drain would roughly triple to nearly $30 billion."
14. The United States currently has one of the lowest rates of TB in the world. Mexico has 10 times the rate and killing over 400,000 in mexico each year.
15. Chagas Disease (American Trypanosomiasis), endemic to South and Central America, is spread by infected triatomine bugs, known as the "kissing bugs," that bite people. It was unknown in the United States until fairly recently. It is now estimated that between 100,000 and 500,000 people in the US have Chagas Disease. Who is infected? Mostly illegal aliens.
Since Chagas Disease is basically unknown outside of the illegal alien community most doctors won't recognize it and the blood supply just started being screened for it. Most cases of Chagas Disease that occur in patients other than illegal aliens are thought to be contracted from tainted blood – blood sold by illegal aliens with Chagas Disease before the blood supply started being tested for it as of August of 2006.
16. HIV The number of illegal Mexican and Central American immigrants with HIV or AIDS is unknown, mostly because researchers rarely ask about immigration status. However, it is known that the rate of HIV infection among Latino women in California is about twice the rate of white women. At one free California health clinic, all of the women that had HIV or AIDS were Mexican or Central American "immigrants."
17. To make matters worse, in excess of 7,000 new cases of leprosy have been diagnosed in the U.S. in the past three years. As the “Silent Invasion” report concludes, “illegal alien immigrants from Brazil and up through Mexico have fueled the resurgence into the United States.”
18. Malaria was eradicated from the USA in the 1940s but recently there were outbreaks in southern California, New Jersey, New York City, and Houston. Additionally, Malaria tainted blood has been discovered in the blood supply donated by latinos.
19. In 2006 , 21,807 of the 39,537 people, 54.3%, arrested on DUI charges in california. were Hispanic.
The article goes on, "When crashes occur, it is not uncommon for Hispanic drivers – often intoxicated and unlicensed – to flee before troopers arrive. According to State Police records, about a third of accidents involving migrant workers are hit-and-run. State Trooper Koushel said migrants often cannot be conclusively identified when they're stopped for a violation or involved in an accident." "Many", he said, "are illegal aliens who carry fake or invalid driver's licenses". "Because of that", he said, "many fail to show up in court. It's almost like writing a ticket to a ghost."
20. How many hit and run accidents are there and what is the participation of illegal aliens? As reported by Deadly Roads, as of December 29, there were 1,544 killed and 105,078 injured in hit and run accidents in 2006 in the state of california.

THE STATE HANDS OVER $20 BILLION IN SOCIAL SERVICES TO ILLEGALS FOR ALL THAT “CHEAP” LABOR, AND THEN HANDS THE DEFICIT BILLS TO THE STUPID GRINGOS WHO DON’T WANT THE STATE OVERRUN BY ILLEGALS ANYWAY! POLITICS AS USUAL, AND IT’S THE SAME IN ALL 50 STATES!
State budget drowning in red ink for next year
Wyatt Buchanan, Chronicle Sacramento Bureau
Thursday, November 19, 2009
(11-19) 04:00 PST Sacramento --
California again is facing a mammoth budget deficit and the prospect of more severe cuts to state services, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office warned in a report released Wednesday.
Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor said the state will face a $20.7 billion deficit next year and that the Legislature and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger need to start work to fill that gap "as soon as possible." He also noted that many one-time fixes state leaders have relied on in the past to close deficits are not available. The state will face $20 billion annual deficits through 2015 if permanent fixes are not made, he warned.
The dire news comes only four months after lawmakers approved a controversial plan to close a $24 billion shortfall in the current fiscal year, which began July 1. That plan, signed by the governor on July 28, relied on state worker furloughs, partial closures of state parks, and funding cuts to the California State University and University of California systems and many health and welfare programs.
Another battle
The state's inability to realize some of the elements of its July plan, however, has contributed to the new deficit, Taylor said.
"Coming on the heels of a really monumental problem ... it's hard to imagine that we'd have as difficult a budget year coming up," Taylor said.
The deficit probably will unleash yet another major budget conflict at the Capitol, where Republicans have rejected any proposals to increase taxes and Democrats have been loath to make more cuts to services.
The state's general fund spending plan dropped to $84.5 billion this year from an all-time high of nearly $103 billion in 2008.
Schwarzenegger, a Republican who has backed tax increases in the past, also is opposing any new taxes. Traveling in Milan Wednesday, the governor told the Reuters news service, "I think it's important not to raise revenues, not to raise taxes. We have to live within our means."
The governor has to present his spending plan for the 2010-11 fiscal year to the Legislature by Jan. 10, and it is likely to include major cuts to health care, education and prisons, although Taylor warned that further cuts to schools would jeopardize federal education money for California.
The budget deficit - $6.3 billion in the current fiscal year and $14.4 billion in the fiscal year starting July 1 - is the result of several factors, including plans for spending cuts that never happened, court rulings that blocked some cuts, and the assumption that the state would be unable to sell the State Compensation Insurance Fund, which was to bring in about $1 billion this year.
Adding to the problems, a federal judge in San Francisco on Wednesday halted a 10 percent cut in Medi-Cal rates to 21 hospitals.
California also will have to spend about $1 billion more than planned on public schools because of minimum funding requirements in voter-approved Proposition 98.
Declining revenue
The biggest reason for the new fiscal problem is declining revenue from taxes and other sources due to the recession. The Department of Finance said Wednesday that revenue for October was $363 million above what was expected, but revenues are down $596 million for the year.
"We cannot afford right now what we are spending," Taylor said.
The Democratic leaders of the Assembly and Senate did not call for any specific cuts or taxes to address the deficit. State Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said in statement that "California needs to focus on rebuilding the tax base" by "using our fiscal levers to increase the number of high-wage jobs."
Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, D-Baldwin Vista (Los Angeles County), said the Assembly will "immediately begin work on crafting budget solutions that will once again require both difficult spending reductions and additional revenues" once the governor releases his proposal in January.
Policy changes
Republicans, meanwhile, said the state needs to make changes to tax and regulation policy as well as prepare to make serious cuts.
Assembly Minority Leader Sam Blakeslee, R-San Luis Obispo, said in a statement, "The Legislature must correct the punitive regulatory and tax climate that is driving jobs away and hurting state revenue."
And state Sen. Tom Harman, R-Huntington Beach (Orange County), said the state will have to make cuts, especially to social services.
"These are very difficult choices we get presented with, and we simply will have to do it," he said, adding that he wants public safety spared.
Santa Rosa Democrat Noreen Evans, who is chairwoman of the Assembly Budget Committee, acknowledged that revenue has fallen below the level where the state can support current services and said she wants multiple public hearings to listen to what the public views as priorities.
She said she is hearing increasing complaints from Californians as this year's budget reductions result in things like park and DMV closures.
"Given the pain already being felt, what I need to know and what others need to hear is how much more of that voters are going to accept," Evans said.
The new deficit
Reasons for the expected $20.7 billion deficit that needs to be solved by June 30 include:
-- The expected inability of several programs - in particular, the prison system and Medi-Cal - to reach the reduced spending levels called for in the 2009-10 budget.
-- The expected inability of the state to sell the State Compensation Insurance Fund, a quasi-public workers' compensation insurer, to bring in $1 billion in revenue.
-- The state's loss of a court case that makes the general fund unable to benefit from more than $800 million in transportation funds.
-- A nearly $1 billion increase in the Proposition 98 funding guarantee for K-14 education in 2009-10.
-- The state also faces legal challenges to the budgeted shift of local redevelopment funds from counties to the state, state employee furloughs, and various health and social services reductions, which could deepen the deficit.

What to expect in the next 5 years
In making its forecast through 2015, the Legislative Analyst's Office relied on several assumptions, including:
-- No pay increases for state workers or cost-of-living adjustments for state programs.
-- Spending on services expected to grow by about $3 billion for programs like CalWorks and in-home support services.
-- Higher-education funding will not be increased and student fees probably will continue to rise.
-- K-12 education and community colleges probably will see drops in funding because of Proposition 98 guarantees from 2010 to 2012, with increases the remaining three years.
-- Medi-Cal funding is expected to grow by $7.4 billion.
-- Prison spending will grow by nearly $2 billion. (WE ARE MEXICO’S PRISON SYSTEM, AND WELFARE SYSTEM!)
