VILLARIAGOSA’S MEX DUMPSTER OF LOS ANGELES – A CITY UNDER LA
RAZA OCCUPATION
WHAT WE DON’T SEE IN THE ARTICLE BELOW IS THAT THE COUNTY of
LOS ANGELES PUTS OUT $600 MILLION PER YEAR IN WELFARE TO ILLEGALS, PRIMARILY
ANCHOR BABY BREEDERS.
THIS COUNTY IS CALCULATED TO HAVE A MEXICAN UNDERGROUND
ECONOMY IN EXCESS OF $2 BILLION PER YEAR.
OF THE TOP 200 MOST WANTED CRIMINALS IN LOS ANGELES, 183 ARE
MEXICANS, AND THE REST PRIMARILY RUSSIANS.
THE CITY OF L.A. PUTS OUT NEARLY $10 MILLION IN MEXICAN
GRAFFITI ABATEMENT YEARLY!
NOT ONE LEGAL VOTED TO CREATE THE MEX WELFARE STATE IN L.A.
IT’S ALL ABOUT KEEPING WAGES DEPRESSED!
*
THE
ENTIRE REASON THE BORDERS ARE LEFT OPEN IS TO CUT WAGES!
"We could cut unemployment in half simply by reclaiming
the jobs taken by illegal workers," said Representative Lamar Smith of
Texas, co-chairman of the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus. "President Obama
is on the wrong side of the American people on immigration. The president
should support policies that help citizens and legal immigrants find the jobs
they need and deserve rather than fail to enforce immigration laws."
Los
Angeles workers speak on social crisis
By
an SEP campaign team
24 September 2012
24 September 2012
In preparation for a
public meeting held Saturday in Huntington Park, an area in Los Angeles County,
Socialist Equality Party vice presidential candidate Phyllis Scherrer
campaigned among working class and youth in the area.
Workers in Los
Angeles have been especially hard hit by the recession. Stories of multiple
families sharing small apartments, unemployment and declining wages are
ubiquitous. For the city's substantial immigrant population, the threat of
deportation is also a constant worry.
In response to the
economic crisis, the federal, state and city governments have pursued a
ruthless austerity policy. Only last week, LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
announced that the maximum benefit amount for city worker pensions will be
reduced by 25 percent, and the minimum retirement age will be increased from 55
to 65.
On Saturday, Scherrer
spoke to workers attending an event to assist applicants to the Deferred Action
for Child Arrivals program set up by the Obama administration. DACA applies
only to those residents who came to the United States before the age of 16 and
are currently 31 years old or younger. In exchange for providing reams of work
and educational data to prove residency, biometric scans and a $465 processing
fee, participants are promised a mere two year reprieve from deportation.
Despite the extremely
limited character of the program, intended by Obama largely as a campaign
stunt, hundreds of thousands have applied throughout the country—a reflection
of the desperate state facing the millions of undocumented workers in the US.
Martín, 28, works as
an aircraft technician. He said, “I was brought to the United States when I was
nine. I have lived here without any status for 19 years, and I am here hoping
that this program will give me the opportunity work in my profession. I
graduated as a aircraft mechanic five years ago. The aircraft and aircraft
maintenance companies all require proof of residency or citizenship.
“Basically, I am in
the same boat as everyone else here,” Martin added. “Currently I work bussing
dishes in a cafeteria. I know that the program is limited and that there are
risks involved. But it is better for me to do it than not to do it. It is like
driving. People in my position drive cars even though it is illegal for them to
do so. When they get stopped, it costs more than $1,000. But they still do it
anyway. This is the same thing.
“I believe that
behind the record deportations are private companies that run the deportation
prisons, and make use of their labor. That is why I think that President Obama
has increased the rate of deportation. While they are waiting for deportation,
the government pays these companies, and they squeeze out their labor. It is a
modern form of slavery. It came as a mysterious surprise to me that Obama would
even open up this Deferred Action program, given his deportation record.”
María came to the
event with her 15 year old daughter. “I am here with my daughter,” she said.
“She is 15. She was seven when we crossed the border. My husband works in a
garment workshop near downtown Los Angeles. He works from 7 in the morning to 6
in the evening every day. His pay is piecework. It is very difficult to make it
on the 30 to 40 dollars that he earns every day. “
Sylvia majored in
English at a Los Angeles area community college. Earlier this year she was
accepted at UCLA, but cannot afford tuition there. She was brought to the US
when she was 5 years old, together with her younger brother. She came to the
event with her mother Rosa.
Rosa said, “The life
of an undocumented immigrant is very tough. My job right now is being a nanny
and a housekeeper. I care for children and clean their homes. Before that I was
a bartender. That job paid better, but the work was grueling. I would never get
enough sleep.
“In March my son was
deported. He had misbehaved and was in a juvenile facility. The police acted
wrongly, delaying his release date two weeks until his 18th birthday. On that
day, they transferred him to LA County Jail, and placed him on deportation
hold. He is now in Tijuana. The sheriffs deliberately prolonged his incarceration
beyond his birthday so that ICE could deport him.
Sylvia said, “I know
that this program is not a path to citizenship; and that we could still be
deported and that it will not entitle me to financial aid to study.”
“This program is a
two-edged sword,” Rosa added. “ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] will
have information about all the students and all their undocumented parents. I
tell my daughter that this scares me. I know how this happens. With this
information, ICE appears with no warning and deports entire families. That is
the risk. It is important for my children.
When asked about
whether or not they believed the Obama administration represented the interests
of undocumented workers, Rosa said:
“Obama? No, no, no.
He had to do something to get the votes, but no, no, no; in reality he has done
nothing.”
Scherrer and
reporters also spoke with workers in the largely working class area of
Huntington Park on Friday.
Jazmin De La Cruz is
a student at Hamilton High School, which has a student body of 3,000. She
described the conditions at her school saying, "There are 40 to 50 kids a
class, its pretty bad. The teachers get by, but sometimes they have to pay for
some stuff like tissues. The students think it's pretty crazy with the budget
cuts and how the teachers can't go one-on-one anymore."
Ofelia, a young woman
who was on her way to work at McDonald's also spoke to campaigners. She goes to
LA Trade Technical College and is studying Visual Communications to be a
graphic designer. When asked if she was able to sign up for all the classes she
wanted she replied, "No, I didn't even get two of my classes. The main
reason is budget cuts."
She described her own
living situation saying, "I rent with my mom. It's $1,000 for a single
room with a ceiling that's falling apart." At her job she said, "I'm
not getting any hours, only 2 days a week, so I'm going for a job at Yoshinoya
(restaurant). The only reason I'm working now is because I talked to the
managers."
Asked “if she was
following the election campaign, Ofelia replied, “I don't find it necessary
because everything they say is false." The campaigners pointed out it was
necessary for young people and workers to follow politics if they want to
change society for the better. Ofelia was handed a leaflet advertising the SEP
meeting and expressed interest in attending.

Opinion
California
must stem the flow of illegal immigrants
The
state should go after employers who hire them, curb taxpayer-funded benefits,
deploy the National Guard to help the feds at the border and penalize
'sanctuary' cities.
Illegal immigration is another matter entirely.
With the state budget in tatters, millions of residents out of work and a state
prison system strained by massive overcrowding, California simply cannot
continue to ignore the strain that illegal immigration puts on our budget and
economy. Illegal aliens cost taxpayers in our state billions of dollars each
year. As economist Philip J. Romero
concluded in a 2007 study, "illegal immigrants impose a 'tax' on legal
California residents in the tens of billions of dollars."

California spending annually $22 billion to support illegals
Going To the Top!
By Susan Tully
I've been at the immigration reform and enforcement table for about 20 years. I've worked with activists during all those years. But last week, in Los Angeles, I had a first-time-ever experience at an activist brain storming session.
Gathered for an update on Stop AB131, the petition drive to gather signatures to force a ballot initiative as to whether the California taxpayers should fund college grants to illegal aliens, I asked the top activist leaders from Southern California how the signature drive was going.
They started updating me with the positive response from California residents who signed the petitions, but then admitted about 500,000 more signatures were still needed. When I said there was only a little more than three weeks to go to meet the January 5th deadline, suddenly their faces dropped at once, and the room went completely silent.
It was easy to read on each of their faces; the task was nearly impossible! Without big money to pay signature gatherers or a tsunami of petitions flooding in, the taxpayers of California will be forced to give grant money to illegal aliens for college, on top of the $22 billion they are spending annually in California to support the illegal alien population.
While all of our minds were racing and searching for suggestions as to how to accomplish this daunting task of gathering signatures, Lupe Moreno, long time Hispanic leader from Santa Ana, said "Can we have a prayer?" Everyone agreed to pray.
As the prayer went around the table, people expressed their sorrow for the lack of leadership in the State of California and in the nation to protect the interest of American citizens, and asked for divine guidance in helping them understand the harm their policies are inflicting on millions of innocent people in the state. In all the years I have worked on this issue, I had not witnessed the sort of sincere emotion that was expressed in that room.
(THE FASTEST GROWING POLITICAL PARTY IN AMERICA IS THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA! AND WE ARE FORCED TO FUND IT!)
You see, the politicians in California are happy to give money the state doesn't have to illegal aliens to attend college, while they cut the budgets and slash programs for public safety, right and left. The American citizen's interests and safety are simply collateral damage for seeking and appealing to the illegal alien lobby.
These activists in California have already learned what the rest of the nation is about to learn. We the people. . . are the only ones looking out for the best interest of American citizens. With few exceptions, we have no national leadership on the issue of stopping the illegal migration flow into our nation.
American citizenship or the benefits thereof have become a commodity for politicians to pander and barter away. They will grant de facto citizenship through sanctuary policies, in-state tuition, non-compliance with Secure Communities, grants for college, etc., etc., etc. President Obama and most the Republican presidential hopefuls are peddling various versions of amnesty proposals if they are elected next year.
What do these politicians want in return? They are hoping to leverage enough votes in key states to put them over the top in 2012, no matter what it costs the American people. This is futures betting: The politicians are gambling the nation's future in hopes of winning the next election.
So while the state can't afford to pay its bills or provide decent services to citizens, these California activists watch their elected leaders lavish still more benefits for people who don't have a legal right to be in the country. And while their child might have to pay out-of-state tuition to go to college in another state, thousands of illegal aliens are going to college at in-state tuition rates in California that they are subsidizing.
In addition they know that millions of other illegal alien parents are receiving food stamps, Medicaid, housing assistance and dozens of other state and local benefits for their American-born children, while they have to decide which bills will be paid this month and which will have to wait.
It's not hard to understand why the activist of California need all the help they can get. Please go to www.stopAB131.com and lend a hand to our friends and family and the people of California to do what needs to be done for the good of our children first.

Slow path to progress for U.S. immigrants
43% on
welfare after 20 years
Immigrants lag behind
native-born Americans on most measures of economic well-being — even those who
have been in the U.S. the longest, according to a report from the Center for Immigration
Studies, which argues that
full assimilation is a more complex task than overcoming language or cultural
differences.
The study, which
covers all immigrants, legal and illegal, and their U.S.-born children younger
than 18, found that immigrants tend to make economic progress by most measures
the longer they live in the U.S. but lag well behind native-born Americans on
factors such as poverty, health insurance coverage and homeownership.
The study, based on 2010 and 2011
census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at
least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high
as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.
The report was
released at a time when both major presidential candidates have backed policies
that would make it easier to immigrate legally and would boost the numbers of
people coming to the U.S.
Steven A. Camarota, the center’s research director and author of the
96-page study, said it shows that questions about the pros and cons of immigration
extend well beyond the sheer numbers and touch on the broader consequences of
assimilating a population defined by tougher socioeconomic challenges.
“Look, we know a lot
of these folks are going to be poor, we get it. But don’t tell the public it’s
all going great, which is the story line I think a lot of people want to
sell,” Mr. Camarota said. “There is progress over
time. Every measure shows improvement over time, but still, the situation does
not look like we’d like it to look, particularly for the less-educated. They
lag well behind natives even when they’ve been here for two decades, and that
is very disconcerting.”
Federal law requires
that the government deny immigrant visas to potential immigrants who are likely
to be unable to support themselves and thereby become public charges.
On Tuesday, a handful
of Republican senators wrote to the Homeland Security and State departments
asking them to explain why they don’t consider whether potential immigrants
would use many of the nearly 80 federal welfare programs when they evaluate
visa applications.
Neither department
responded to messages Tuesday seeking a response to the senators’ letter.
Expanding
legal immigration is a contentious issue for voters, the vast majority of whom
tell pollsters that they want the levels either retained or decreased.
But most politicians
want legal immigration expanded.
During his time in the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama backed
bills that would have dramatically boosted legal immigration, potentially by
hundreds of thousands a year. As president, he has called for the same thing.

“We need to provide our farms a legal
way to hire workers that they rely on, and a path for those workers to earn
legal status. And our laws should respect families following the rules —
reuniting them more quickly instead of splitting them apart,” Mr. Obama said
in a major speech on the subject in El Paso, Texas, in 2011.
His presumed
Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, in June called for increasing legal
immigration for students who study in high-tech fields and admitting unlimited
family members of those who hold green cards.
“Our immigration
system should help promote strong families as well — not keep them apart. Our
nation benefits when moms and dads and their kids are all living together under
the same roof,” Mr. Romney told the National Association of
Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.
Mr. Camarota’s report took a broad look at the
immigrant population and found that immigrants are contributing to major
changes in American society, including that one-fourth of public school
students now speak languages other than English at home.
It also found that
immigrants as a population lead complex economic lives that aren’t easily put
into one category or another.
Immigrants made up
more than half of all farmworkers, 41 percent of taxi drivers and 48 percent of
maids and housecleaners, but they also represented about one-third of all
computer programmers and 27 percent of doctors.
The statistics varied
greatly by geography. In Massachusetts, native-led households averaged $89,000
in income while immigrant households averaged $66,000.
In Virginia,
immigrant-led households averaged $93,000 in income, far outstripping native
households’ $80,000 average. Likewise, immigrant families averaged a larger tax
burden in Virginia — though they also had higher rates of use of welfare or
Medicaid.
The center found that use of public benefits
varied dramatically based on where immigrants originated.
Mexicans were most
likely to use means-tested benefit programs, with 57 percent, while 6 percent
of those from the United Kingdom did. The rate for native-born Americans is 23
percent.
Mr. Camarota said a key dividing line is
educational attainment. Immigrants who have been in the U.S. 20 years and who
have bachelor’s degrees or higher make slightly more than the average
native-born American. But immigrants with only high school educations make less
no matter how long they have been in the U.S.
“The fact is the
less-educated in particular — they don’t do well over time,” he said. “It’s not
reasonable to expect an immigrant who comes to America with only a high school
education to close the gap with the native-born.”
Scholars debate
whether the current wave of immigrants will assimilate differently from those
in the 1800s and at the start of the 20th century.
George Borjas, a Harvard University
professor, has argued that second-generation Americans — the children of
today’s immigrants — will fall behind in wages by about 10 percent by 2030.
(THE BELOW STATS HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH ASSIMILATION! COME TO MEXIFORNIA WHERE 90% OF ALL SERVICE
SECTOR AND CONSTRUCTION JOBS ARE HELD BY MEXICANS. YOU WON’T HEAR THEM SPEAKING
ENGLISH!)
But in “Assimilation
Tomorrow,” a report released in November, Dowell Myers and John Pitkin said
immigrants of the 1990s eventually will attain high rates of homeownership and
71 percent will become U.S. citizens by 2030.
Those authors said
immigrants were set back by the recent recession but were still on track to
follow the same assimilation path as previous waves of immigrants.
(THE THING IS… MOST SOURCES PUT THE
NUMBER OF ILLEGALS AT 40 MILLION AND BREEDING FAST! THERE ARE 12 MILLION OF
THESE “11 MILLION” ILLEGALS IN SOUTHERN CA ALONE!)
They also said a
program to legalize the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.
would be critical to helping assimilation.

A CASE STUDY OF WHAT BEING MEXICO’S
“FREE” BIRTHING CENTER COSTS:
Jose Herria emigrated
illegally from Mexico to Stockton, Calif., in 1997 to work as a fruit picker.
He brought with him his wife, Felipa, and three children, 19, 12 and 8 – all
illegals. When Felipa gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Flor, the family
had what is referred to as an "anchor baby" – an American citizen by
birth who provided the entire Silverio clan a ticket to remain in the U.S.
permanently. But Flor was born premature, spent three months in the neonatal
incubator and cost the San Joaquin Hospital more than $300,000. Meanwhile,
oldest daughter Lourdes married an illegal alien gave birth to a daughter, too.
Her name is Esmeralda. And Felipa had yet another child, Cristian. The two
Silverio anchor babies generate $1,000 per month in public welfare funding for
the family. Flor gets $600 a month for asthma. Healthy Cristian gets $400.
While the Silverios earned $18,000 last year picking fruit, they picked up
another $12,000 for their two "anchor babies." While President Bush
says the U.S. needs more "cheap labor" from south of the border to do
jobs Americans aren't willing to do, the case of the Silverios shows there are
indeed uncalculated costs involved in the importation of such labor – public
support and uninsured medical costs. In fact, the increasing number of illegal
aliens coming into the United States is forcing the closure of hospitals,
spreading previously vanquished diseases and threatening to destroy America's
prized health-care system, says a report in the spring issue of the Journal of
American Physicians and Surgeons. "The influx of illegal aliens has
serious hidden medical consequences," writes Madeleine Pelner Cosman,
author of the report. "We judge reality primarily by what we see. But what
we do not see can be more dangerous, more expensive, and more deadly than what
is seen." According to her study,
84 California hospitals are closing their doors as a direct result of the
rising number of illegal aliens and their non-reimbursed tax on the system.
"Anchor babies," the author writes, "born to illegal aliens
instantly qualify as Disability Income."citizens for welfare benefits and
have caused enormous rises in Medicaid costs and stipends under Supplemental
Security Income .

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 L.A. County
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.

County’s Monthly Welfare Tab For Illegal
Aliens $52 Million
09/07/2010
As
the mainstream media focuses on a study that reveals a sharp decline in the
nation’s illegal immigrant population, monthly welfare payments to children of
undocumented aliens increased to $52 million in one U.S. county alone.
The
hoopla surrounding last week’s news that the annual flow of illegal immigrants
into the U.S. dropped by two-thirds in the past
decade overlooked an important matter; the cost of educating, incarcerating and
medically treating illegal aliens hasn’t decreased along with it, but rather
skyrocketed to the tune of tens of billions of dollars annually.
THIS FIGURE DOES NOT INCLUDE EXTRA MILLIONS PAID FOR ANCHOR
BABIES
Those
figures don’t even include the extra millions that local municipalities dish
out on welfare payments to the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants,
commonly known as anchor babies. In Los Angeles County alone that figure
increased by nearly $4 million in the last year, sticking taxpayers with a
whopping $52 million tab to provide illegal
immigrants’ offspring with food stamps and other welfare benefits for just one
month.
That
means the nation’s most populous county, in the midst of a dire financial
crisis, will spend more than $600 million this year to provide families headed
by illegal immigrants with welfare benefits. In each of the past two years Los
Angeles County taxpayers have spent about half a billion dollars just to cover
the welfare and food-stamp costs of illegal immigrants. Additionally, the county spends $550 million on public safety and
nearly $500 million on healthcare for illegal aliens.
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 L.A. County’s Department of Social
Services. Nationwide, Americans pay around $22 billion annually to provide
illegal immigrants with welfare perks that include food assistance programs
such as free school lunches in public schools, food stamps and a nutritional

ILLEGALS COST CALIFORNIA BILLIONS – HOW “CHEAP” IS THE MEXICAN INVASION

Illegal immigration costs the

nationwide -- $10.5 billion a year for education, health care and
incarceration, according to a study released yesterday. A key finding of the
report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) said the
state's already struggling kindergarten-through-12th-grade education system
spends $7.7 billion a year on children of illegal aliens, who constitute 15
percent of the student body. The report also said the incarceration of
convicted illegal aliens in state prisons and jails and uncompensated medical
outlays for health care provided to illegal aliens each amounted to about $1.4
billion annually. The incarceration costs did not include judicial expenditures
or the monetary costs of the crimes committed by illegal aliens that led to
their incarceration. "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," said FAIR President Dan Stein. "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," he said. California is
estimated to be home to nearly 3 million illegal aliens. Mr. Stein noted that
state and local taxes paid by the unauthorized immigrant population go toward
offsetting these costs, but do not match expenses. The total of such payments
was estimated in the report to be about $1.6 billion per year. He also said the
total cost of illegal immigration to the state's taxpayers would be
considerably higher if other cost areas, such as special English instruction,
school meal programs or welfare benefits for American workers displaced by
illegal-alien workers were added into the equation. Gerardo Gonzalez, director
of the National Latino Research Center at California State at San Marcos, which
compiles data on Hispanics, was critical of FAIR's report yesterday. He said
FAIR's estimates did not measure some of the contributions that illegal aliens
make to the state's economy. "Beyond taxes, these workers' production and
spending contribute to California's economy, especially the agricultural
sector," he said, adding that both legal and illegal aliens are the
"backbone" of the state's $28 billion-a-year agricultural industry.
In August, a similar study by the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington,
said U.S. households headed by illegal aliens used $26.3 billion in government
services during 2002, but paid $16 billion in taxes, an annual cost to
taxpayers of $10 billion. The FAIR report focused on three specific program
areas because those were the costs examined by researchers from the Urban
Institute in 1994, Mr. Stein said. 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 at about $1.1
billion a year. Mr. Stein said an enormous rise in the costs of illegal
immigrants in 10 years is because of the rapid growth of the illegal
population. He said it is reasonable to expect those costs to continue to soar
if action is not taken to turn the tide. "1994 was the same year that
California voters rebelled and overwhelmingly passed Proposition 187, which
sought to limit liability for mass illegal immigration," he said.
"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. "Predictably, the costs of illegal immigration have grown
geometrically, while the state has spiraled into a fiscal crisis that has
brought it near bankruptcy," he said. Mr. Stein said that the state must
adopt measures to systematically collect information on illegal-alien use of
taxpayer-funded services and on where they are employed, and that policies need
to be pursued to hold employers financially accountable.

Illegal
immigrants are a factor in California's budget math
George Skelton
Capitol Journal
February 2, 2009
From Sacramento — Based on my e-mail, a lot of folks think the solution to California's state budget deficit is to round up all the illegal immigrants and truck them down to Mexico.
Wrong. Even if it were logistically possible and the deportees didn't just climb off the truck and hitch another ride back up north, their absence from the state wouldn't come close to saving enough tax dollars to balance a budget that has a $42-billion hole projected over the next 17 months.
Painful cuts in education, healthcare and social service programs still would be needed. Sharp tax increases would be required.
That said, let's be honest: Illegal immigration does cost California taxpayers a substantial wad, undeniably into the billions.
But it hasn't been PC for officeholders to talk about this for years, ever since Gov. Pete Wilson broke his pick waging an aggressive campaign for Proposition 187. That 1994 ballot initiative sought to bar illegal immigrants from most public services, including education. Voters approved the measure overwhelmingly, but it was tossed out by the courts.
Wilson was demonized by Democrats within the Latino community. And many think the Republican Party never has recovered among this rapidly growing slice of the electorate.
So it's not a topic that comes easily to the tongues of politicians, even Republicans.
Besides, most of the policy issues are out of California's hands. The federal government has jurisdiction over the border. Federal law decrees that every child is entitled to attend public school, regardless of immigration status. And every person -- here illegally or not -- must be cared for in hospital emergency rooms.
But the state does add a few benefits that aren't required.
And as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders dig into the books trying to find billions in savings, at least a brief look at what's being spent on illegal immigrants seems in order.
First, nobody seems to know exactly. Numbers vary widely, depending which side they come from in the ongoing angry debate over whether people who entered the country illegally to work should be allowed to stay or loaded on the southbound truck.
But here are some no-agenda numbers:
* There were 2.8 million illegal immigrants living in California in 2006, the last year for which there are relatively good figures, according to the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California. That represented about 8% of the state's population and roughly a quarter of the nation's illegal immigrants. About 90% of California's illegal immigrants were from Latin America; 65% from Mexico.
* There are roughly 19,000 illegal immigrants in state prisons, representing 11% of all inmates. That's costing $970 million during the current fiscal year. The feds kick in a measly $111 million, leaving the state with an $859 million tab.
* Schools are the toughest to calculate. Administrators don't ask kids about citizenship status. Anyway, many children of illegal immigrants were born in this country and automatically became U.S. citizens.
If you figure that the children of illegal immigrants attending K-12 schools approximates the proportion of illegal immigrants in the population, the bill currently comes to roughly $4 billion. Most is state money; some local property taxes.
* Illegal immigrants aren't entitled to welfare, called CalWORKs. But their citizen children are. Roughly 190,000 kids are receiving welfare checks that pass through their parents. The cost: about $500 million, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office.
Schwarzenegger has proposed removing these children from the welfare rolls after five years. It's part of a broader proposal to also boot off, after five years, the children of U.S. citizens who aren't meeting federal work requirements. There'd be a combined savings of $522 million.
* The state is spending $775 million on Medi-Cal healthcare for illegal immigrants, according to the legislative analyst. Of that, $642 million goes into direct benefits. Practically all the rest is paid to counties to administer the program. The feds generally match the state dollar-for-dollar on mandatory programs.
So-called emergency services are the biggest state cost: $536 million. Prenatal care is $59 million. Not counted in the overall total is the cost of baby delivery -- $108 million -- because the newborns aren't illegal immigrants.
The state also pays $47 million for programs that Washington does not require: Non-emergency care (breast and cervical cancer treatment), $25 million; long-term nursing home care, $19 million; abortions, $3 million.
Schwarzenegger has proposed requiring illegal immigrants to requalify every month for Medi-Cal benefits, except pregnancy-related emergencies.
There also are other taxpayer costs -- especially through local governments -- but those are the biggies for the state. Add them all up and the state spends well over $5 billion a year on illegal immigrants and their families.
Of course, illegal immigrants do pay state taxes. But no way do they pay enough to replenish what they're drawing in services. Their main revenue contribution would be the sales tax, but they can't afford to be big consumers, and food and prescription drugs are exempt.
My view is this: These people are here illegally and shouldn't be, regardless of whether they're just looking for a better life. Do it the legal way. And enforce the law against hiring the undocumented.
On the other hand, they are here. We can't have uneducated kids and unhealthy people living with us. We have moral obligations and practical imperatives.
The Obama administration and Congress need to finally pass an immigration reform act that allows for an agriculture work program and a route to citizenship.
Meanwhile, California should be honest about the costs. Illegal immigrants are not the sole cause of the state's deficit. But they are a drain.
