Washington, D.C. (October 7, 2019) – The Center for Immigration Studies will release two reports as part of Thursday’s panel discussion on the cost of granting healthcare benefits to illegal immigrants, a policy advocated by all ten Democratic candidates who participated in the June 27 debate. The first report details the participation rate and cost of Medicaid usage by immigrants under existing policy, which offers noncitizens less access to the program compared to citizens. The second report estimates the cost of providing illegal immigrants full access to public health benefits. At the panel discussion, commentary will be provided by Christopher Pope, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
Steven Camarota, the Center’s director of research, said, “Any serious debate on providing healthcare coverage to those in the country illegally requires a cost estimate. Depending on the type of coverage and the take-up rate, the cost could be as high as $22.6 billion a year – a reminder that tolerating illegal immigration creates a significant burden for taxpayers.”
The event will be streamed on
Facebook Live.
When: Thursday, October 10, 2019, at 9:30 a.m.
Where: National Press Club, Murrow Room, 529 14
th St. NW, 13th Floor, Washington, D.C.

Los Angeles County Pays
Over a Billion in Welfare to Illegal Aliens Over Two Years
In 2015 and 2016, Los Angeles County paid
nearly $1.3 billion in welfare funds to illegal aliens and their families. That
figure amounts to 25 percent of the total spent on the county’s entire needy
population, according to Fox News.
The state of California is home to more illegal aliens than any other
state in the country. Approximately one in five illegal aliens lives in
California, Pew reported.
Approximately a quarter of California’s 4 million illegal immigrants
reside in Los Angeles County. The county allows illegal immigrant parents with
children born in the United States to seek welfare and food stamp benefits.
The welfare benefits data acquired by Fox News comes from the Los
Angeles County Department of Public Social Services and shows welfare and food
stamp costs for the county’s entire population were $3.1 billion in 2015, $2.9
billion in 2016.
The data also shows that during the first five months of 2017, more than
60,000 families received a total of $181 million.
Over 58,000 families received a total of $602 million in benefits in
2015 and more than 64,000 families received a total of $675 million in 2016.
Robert Rector, a Heritage Foundation senior
fellow who studies poverty and illegal immigration, told Fox the costs represent “the tip of
the iceberg.”
“They get $3 in benefits for every $1 they spend,” Rector said. It can
cost the government a total of $24,000 per year per family to pay for things
like education, police, fire, medical, and subsidized housing.
In February of 2019, the Los Angeles city council signed a resolution
making it a sanctuary city. The resolution did not provide any new legal
protections to their immigrants, but instead solidified existing policies.
In October 2017, former California governor
Jerry Brown signed SB 54 into law. This bill made
California, in Brown’s own words, a “sanctuary state.” The Justice
Department filed a lawsuit against the State of California over the law. A
federal judge dismissed that suit in July. SB 54 took effect on Jan.
1, 2018.
According to Center for
Immigration Studies, “The new law
does many things: It forbids all localities from cooperating with ICE detainer
notices, it bars any law enforcement officer from participating in the
popular 287(g) program, and it prevents state and local police
from inquiring about individuals’ immigration status.”
Some counties in California have protested its implementation and joined
the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the state.
California’s campaign to provide public services to illegal immigrants
did not end with the exit of Jerry Brown. His successor, Gavin Newsom, is
just as focused as Brown in funding programs for illegal residents at the
expense of California taxpayers.
California’s budget earmarks millions of dollars annually to the One
California program, which provides free legal assistance to all aliens,
including those facing deportation, and makes California’s public universities
easier for illegal-alien students to attend.
According to the Fiscal Burden of Illegal
Immigration on United States Taxpayers 2017 report, for the estimated 12.5 million illegal
immigrants living in the country, the resulting cost is a $116
billion burden on the national economy and taxpayers each year, after
deducting the $19 billion in taxes paid by some of those illegal immigrants.

New data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that more than 22 million
non-citizens now live in the United States.

California—not
Mississippi, New Mexico, or West Virginia—has the highest poverty rate in the
United States. According to the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty
Measure—which accounts for the cost of housing, food, utilities, and clothing,
and which includes noncash government assistance as a form of income—nearly one
out of four Californians is poor. Kerry Jackson

California’s de facto
status as a one-party state lies at the heart of its poverty problem. With a
permanent majority in the state senate and the assembly, a prolonged dominance
in the executive branch, and a weak opposition, California Democrats have long
been free to indulge blue-state ideology while paying little or no political
price. The state’s poverty problem is unlikely to improve while policymakers
remain unwilling to unleash the engines of economic prosperity that drove
California to its golden years. Kerry Jackson

As Breitbart News reported, if chain migration is not ended — as President Donald Trump
has demanded — the U.S. electorate will forever be changed, with between seven
to eight million new foreign-born individuals being eligible to vote because of
chain migration, and overall, an additional 15 million new foreign-born voters.

According to the Federation
for American Immigration Reform’s 2017 report, illegal
immigrants, and their children, cost American taxpayers a net $116 billion
annually -- roughly $7,000 per alien annually. While high, this number is not
an outlier: a recent study by the Heritage
Foundation found that low-skilled immigrants (including those here
illegally) cost Americans trillions over
the course of their lifetimes, and a study from the National
Economics Editorial found that illegal immigration costs America over $140
billion annually. As it stands, illegal immigrants are a massive burden on
American taxpayers.

This is another "fact" spun from the 2004 op-ed by
Heather Mac Donald, whose article refers to a single Los Angeles gang and the
conjecture of an unnamed federal prosecutor.
1.
"40% of all workers in L.A. County are working for cash and
not paying taxes. . . . This is because they are predominantly illegal
immigrants working without a green card." The Mexican tax-free economy in
Los Angeles County is estimated to be in excess of $2 billion dollars a year.
2.
"95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal
aliens . . . "
3.
"75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are
illegal aliens."
4.
"Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to
illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by
taxpayers." The County of Los Angeles hands Mexico’s anchor baby breeders
more than a BILLION DOLLARS a year in welfare.
5.
"Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers
are Mexican nationals here illegally." California has the largest and most
expensive prison system in the country. Half the inmates are now Mexicans. Half
the murders in California are by Mexican gangs.
6.
Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in
garages.

THE NEW PRIVILEGED CLASS: Illegals
(unregistered democrats)!
This is why you work From Jan - May
paying taxes to the government ....with the rest of the calendar year is money
for you and your family.
Take, for example, an illegal alien
with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage,
with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he
files an Income Tax Return, with his fake Social Security number, he gets an
"earned income credit" of up to $3,200..... free.
He qualifies for Section 8 housing
and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps.
He qualifies for free (no
deductible, no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts
and lunches at school.
He requires bilingual teachers and
books.
He qualifies for relief from high
energy bills.
If they are or become, aged, blind
or disabled, they qualify for SSI.
Once qualified for SSI they can
qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.
He doesn't worry about car
insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language
signs, bulletins and printed material.
He and his family receive the
equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.
Working Americans are lucky to have
$5.00 or $6.00/hour left after Paying their bills and his.
The American taxpayers also pay for
increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.
Cheap
labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people!

Last year in fact, that
game was going full speed. El Salvador's remittances hit arecord $5.47 billion. Literally one out of six Salvadorans
now lives in the U.S., and 680,000 of those make their home in
benefit-rich California. Salvadoran politicians actually campaign for
office in California, owing to the sizable number of Salvadoran voters, many of
whom are here illegally., signaling that there's a lot of work to be had for
the newest (and least likely to be legal) migrants in the states now, most of
which is coming from California.

Here come Big Daddy, the
California governor, the gringo who's already laid out a banquet of
goodies for Salvadorans in California, from free health care to free
education, to sanctuary state protections to enable illegals to work, coming there supposedly
to find out how he can offer ... even more goodies to Salvador's
uneducated lower middle classes. The idea of course is to get even more of
them to come over. Big Daddy comes down with the Santa sack full of
goodies. MONICA SHOWALTER
