Where
To Go When Your Local Emergency Room Goes Bankrupt?"
THE QUESTION SHOULD BE WHERE DO ILLEGALS GO FOR
“FREE”MEDICAL.
During the past ten years 84 California hospitals have declared bankruptcy and closed their Emergency Rooms forever. Financially crippled by legislative and judicial mandates to treat illegal aliens have bankrupted hospitals! In 2010, in Los Angeles County alone, over 2 million illegal aliens recorded visits to county emergency rooms for both routine and emergency care. Per official figures, the cost is $1,000 dollars for every taxpayer in Los Angeles County.

What
the Pew estimate underlines is that this is a big problem,” said Mark

a subversion of national independence for people who break into your country
then to demand that their kids be U.S. citizens.”

Study Looks at Babies Born to Illegal Immigrants
About 340,000 of the 4.3
million babies born in the United States in 2008 — or 8 percent — had at least
one parent who was an illegal immigrant, according to a study published Wednesday by the
Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research group in Washington.
Because they were born in
this country, the babies of illegal immigrants are United States citizens. In
all in 2008, four million children who were American citizens had at least one
parent who was in the country illegally, the Pew study found.
Children of illegal
immigrants make up 7 percent of all people in the country younger than 18 years
old, according to the study, which is based on March 2009 census figures, the
most recent data on immigrant families. Nearly four out of five of those
children — 79 percent — are American citizens because they were born here.
About 85 percent of the
parents who are illegal immigrants are Hispanic, the Pew Center reported.
The Pew study comes as
lawmakers in Washington have been debating whether to consider changing the
14th Amendment of the Constitution, which grants citizenship to anyone born in
the United States. The controversy erupted after Senator Lindsey
Graham,
Republican of South Carolina, said in July that he might offer an amendment to
revoke birthright citizenship for the American-born children of illegal
immigrants.
Mr. Graham’s comments touched
a nerve with many Americans, who called in to talk shows to question whether
the children of immigrants who have violated the law by remaining in the United
States should be granted citizenship. But it was less clear that there was
strong support for altering the Constitution to address the problem.
A nationwide survey in June by the Pew Research Center for the People and the
Press, a group affiliated with the Hispanic Center, found that 56 percent of
those polled opposed changing the 14th Amendment, while 41 percent supported
it.
The study by the Pew Hispanic
Center casts light on an issue raised by Mr. Graham that prompted the current
debate. In an interview with Fox News last month, Mr. Graham said that many
illegal immigrants were crossing the border to have babies in this country to
gain citizenship for their children. “They come here to drop a child,” Mr.
Graham said.
The Pew figures showed that
over 80 percent of mothers in the country illegally had been here for more than
a year, and that more than half had been in the country for five years or more,
said Jeffrey S. Passel, senior demographer at the Pew Hispanic Center and the
co-author of the study, along with Paul Taylor, the center’s director.
“The combination of the
growing undocumented population through 2007, with more staying in the country
longer, creates a situation where we have seen increasing numbers of these
births over the last six or seven years,” Mr. Passel said. “Because the
immigrants are staying here, this is a young population, and they get married
and form families.”
Republican leaders and
conservatives have been divided over Mr. Graham’s proposal for a constitutional
amendment.
“What
the Pew estimate underlines is that this is a big problem,” said Mark
Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies,
a research group in Washington that advocates reduced immigration. “It really is
a subversion of national independence for people who break into your country
then to demand that their kids be U.S. citizens.”
But Mr. Krikorian, a
conservative, does not favor an immediate effort to amend the citizenship
clause of the Constitution. He said he wants to see tougher enforcement to
reduce the number of illegal immigrants in the country.
“The point is to shrink the
illegal population and prevent new illegals from coming in,” he said, “before
it’s appropriate to have the constitutional debate.”

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, 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.

Anchor Babies Grab One Quarter of
Welfare Dollars in LA Co
The anchor baby scam has proven lucrative for illegal aliens in Los Angeles County, at considerable cost to our own poor and downtrodden legal citizenry.
The numbers show that more than $50 million in CalWORKS benefits and food stamps for January went to children born in the United States whose parents are in the country without documentation. This represents approximately 23 percent of the total benefits under the state welfare and food stamp programs, Antonovich said.
"When you add this to $350 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for health care, the total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year -- not including the millions of dollars for education," Antonovich said.
I love children and I'm all for compassion -- smart, teach-them-to-fish compassion. But when laws, the Constitution, and enforcement allow illegal aliens (the operative word here being "illegal") to insinuate themselves into our nation and bleed us of our precious financial resources, then laws, the Constitution and enforcement need to be changed.

ANCHOR BABIES BORN IN OUR
BORDERS ARE STILL CITIZENS OF MEXICO!
"Remember 187 -- the Proposition to deny taxpayer funds for services to
non-citizens -- was the last gasp of white America in California."
---Art Torres, Chairman of the California Democratic Party
Anchor Baby
Power
La Voz de Aztlan has produced a video in honor of the millions of
babies that have been born as US citizens to Mexican undocumented parents.
These babies are destined to transform America. The nativist CNN reporter Lou
Dobbs estimates that there are over 200,000 "Anchor Babies" born
every year whereas George Putnam, a radio reporter, says the figure is closer
to 300,000. La Voz de Aztlan believes that the number is approximately 500,000
"Anchor Babies" born every year.
The video below depicts the many faces of the "Anchor
Baby Generation". The video includes a fascinating segment showing a group
of elementary school children in Santa Ana, California confronting the
Minutemen vigilantes. The video ends with a now famous statement by Professor
Jose Angel Gutierrez of the University of Texas at Austin.
Mexico Promotes Free U.S. Healthcare
For Illegal Immigrants
Time to wake up
people! With unemployment at 12% and the state going broke, our tax dollars are
going to pay for healthcare for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens. To the
tune of over a billion dollars a year!
Read on:
Mexico's government operates programs in about a dozen American cities that refers its nationals--living in the U.S. illegally--to publicly funded health centers where they can get free medical care without being turned over to immigration authorities.
The program is called Ventanillas de Salud (Health Windows) in Spanish and its mission is to help illegal immigrants find U.S. hospitals, clinics and other government programs where they can get free services without being deported for violating federal immigration laws.
Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Diego and Indiana are among the cities where Mexican consulates operate the health referral system which annually costs U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars. In Los Angeles County alone, illegal immigrants cost taxpayers nearly $440 million in health services annually and a whopping $1.1 billion statewide.
The Mexican consul in Los Angeles proudly announced that nearly 300,000 Mexicans in the area have benefited from his government's health referral program, which he says actually saves the county money by encouraging immigrants to seek preventive care rather than waiting for more expensive emergency treatment.
The Southern California operation promises to assess "consulate clients" for eligibility to government-funded health insurance and other primary care services and offers free legal assistance to those who are denied coverage. Its goal is to improve access to health services for immigrants of Mexican origin by formalizing a health education, medical home referral and insurance enrollment program.
In Chicago, the Mexican consul's Spanish-language web site heavily promotes the Illinois Department of Health's low-cost prescription medicine program for illegal aliens and various free medical services throughout the state. It encourages all Mexicans in the area to pursue the valuable U.S. government-financed services for their entire family.
The Indiana-based program boasts that it serves thousands of "Mexican nationals" living in that state as well as Ohio, Kentucky and southern Illinois. Mexican officials claim that its highly successful pro-health program sends out a clear message to other Mexican consulates throughout the country and the world.
Although these programs facilitate people to remain in the country illegally, Mexico is working hard to expand them to all 47 U.S. consulates to better serve its nationals. In the meantime, U.S. taxpayers will keep picking up the exorbitant tab of medically treating the millions who live in the country illegally.

“THE AMNESTY ALONE WILL
BE THE LARGEST EXPANSION OF THE WELFARE SYSTEM IN THE LAST 25 YEARS” Heritage
Foundation
"The amnesty alone will be the largest expansion of the
welfare system in the last 25 years," says Robert Rector, a senior analyst
at the Heritage Foundation, and a witness at a House Judiciary Committee field
hearing in San Diego Aug. 2. "Welfare costs will begin to hit their peak
around 2021, because there are delays in citizenship. The very narrow time
horizon [the CBO is] using is misleading," he adds. "If even a small
fraction of those who come into the country stay and get on Medicaid, you're
looking at costs of $20 billion or $30 billion per year."
