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.

DECKER: Obama threatened by GOP governors
Better way forward shown by Republican reform in the states
The
Washington Times
Tuesday, August 28,
2012
The 2012 presidential election is a clash of ideologies. In this
battle between big-government liberalism and market-based conservatism, the
leftist media frequently criticizes Republican initiatives as risky and
untried. Nothing could be further from the truth. Across the nation, there are
conservative governors who have used statehouses as laboratories of democracy
to successfully enact cutting-edge reform.
Union-busting: Wisconsin's public-sector unions took on the law,
and the law won. Gov. Scott Walker's rewriting of collective-bargaining rules
sets an example for the country that labor bosses and gold-plated retirement
benefits for bureaucrats can't trump fiscal responsibility.
Welfare drug tests: Florida Gov. Rick Scott has pushed many
creative ideas in the Sunshine State, but it was his brass knuckles in muscling
through mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients that stands as his most
popular accomplishment, enjoying 70-80 percent support. Preventing public
assistance from subsidizing somebody's crack habit is a common-sense law every
state should have.
Spending cuts: In this era of $16 trillion in federal debt,
there's a lot to be said for good, old-fashioned green-eyeshade accounting, and
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder is an accountant and former Fortune 500 CEO. At the
helm of one of the Rust Belt states hardest-hit by the Obama Great Recession,
Mr. Snyder's budget cuts erased a $1.5 billion deficit, while business tax cuts
led to reinvestment that has relieved massive unemployment from auto-industry
downsizing. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, formerly chairman of the House Budget
Committee in the heady days following the 1994 conservative takeover of
Congress, closed an $8 billion hole to balance the Buckeye State's budget
deficit.
Education: U.S. schools have gotten so bad that millions of
high-school graduates don't even know who America's enemies were in World War
II. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has done the unthinkable in public education
by taking on the teacher unions to bust up a counterproductive tenure system
that protected mediocrity and stifled creativity. U.S. students won't stop
getting dumber until other districts are enabled to fire ineffective teachers
like Mr. Christie has made possible in the Garden State.
Voter identification: Mitt Romney is winning the white vote, which
is 75 percent of the electorate, including the white women's vote. The Obama administration is soft on border
protection and resisting state efforts to fight voter fraud because to win,
Democrats need to maximize the number of recent immigrants -- including illegal
aliens -- participating in elections. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley
signed a forward-thinking Voter ID law that protects the integrity of the
ballot box.
This is just a taster's menu of the smorgasbord of reform being
pushed by conservative governors committed to innovative, solutions-oriented
legislation to address America's myriad ills. The deep bench of executive
talent today is reminiscent of governors such as Michigan's John Engler,
Wisconsin's Tommy Thompson, Florida's Jeb Bush and Virginia's Jim Gilmore and
George Allen who led national reform from state capitals starting in the 1990s.
Then and now, the governors' message is consistent: Government is more often
the problem than the solution.

more rights and privileges than Americans. If you are an illegal alien, you can
drive a car without a driver's license or insurance. You may obtain medical
care without paying. You may work without paying taxes. Your children enjoy
free education at the expense of taxpaying Americans.”

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 and

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.

La Voz de Aztlan has produced a video in honor of the millions of babies

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

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
program (known as WIC) for low-income women and their children.

ILLEGALS COST CALIFORNIA BILLIONS –
HOW “CHEAP” IS THE MEXICAN INVASION AND OCCUPATION.
ADD TO THIS THAT NEARLY HALF OF
ALL MURDERS IN CA ARE BY MEXICAN GANGS!
By Jerry Seper

THERE’S BEEN ANOTHER 10 MILLION ILLEGALS CLIMB OVER THE BORDERS. THE PEW
REPORTS THAT APPROXIMATELY 40 MILLION !MORE! MEXICANS ARE PLANNING TO JOIN THEM
FOR THE AMERICAN GRAVY TRAIN)
Illegal immigration costs the
taxpayers of California -- which has the highest number of illegal aliens
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.

EXPORTING POVERTY... we take MEXICO'S........
(where can we send AMERICA'S?????????????)
The Mexican
Invasion................................................ 3 MILLION ILLEGALS HOP
THE BORDER EVERY YEAR. ……..1.5 MILLION AMERICANS FALL INTO POVERTY..... AND
UNLESS YOU’RE PART OF THE CORPORATE CLASS OF BILLIONAIRES, YOU’RE NOT DOING
WELL EITHER. WHAT THIS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR ARTICLE FAILS TO MENTION IS
THAT THE NARCO-MEXICAN STATE ALSO EXPORTS THEIR CRIMINAL CLASS TO BE HOUSED IN
OUR PRISONS AND JAILS. As well as 30 billion dollar drug trade with all the
criminal elements still attached. ILLEGALS NOW MAKE UP ALMOST HALF THE COST OF
THE US PRISON SYSTEM. ONE-THIRD OF ALL FEDERAL CRIMINAL COURT CASES ARE WITH
ILLEGALS. However this article is not entirely fair. Mexico does manufacture
and export approximately a half-billion dollars of counterfeit DVD’s stolen
from the American economy besides their poor and criminal classes.
Mexico
prefers to export its poor, not uplift them At this week's summit, failed
reforms under Fox should be the issue, not US actions.
By George W. Grayson
WILLIAMSBURG, VA.
At the parleys this week
with his US and Canadian counterparts in CancĂşn, Mexican President Vicente Fox
will press for more opportunities for his countrymen north of the Rio Grande.
Specifically, he will argue for additional visas for Mexicans to enter the
United States and Canada, the expansion of guest-worker schemes, and the
"regularization" of illegal immigrants who reside throughout the
continent. In a recent interview with CNN, the Mexican chief executive
excoriated as "undemocratic" the extension of a wall on the US-Mexico
border and called for the "orderly, safe, and legal" northbound flow
of Mexicans, many of whom come from his home state of Guanajuato. Mexican
legislators share Mr. Fox's goals. Silvia Hernández Enriquez, head of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for North America, recently emphasized
that the solution to the "structural phenomenon" of unlawful
migration lies not with "walls or militarization" but with
"understanding, cooperation, and joint responsibility." Such rhetoric
would be more convincing if Mexican officials were making a good faith effort
to uplift the 50 percent of their 106 million people who live in poverty. To
his credit, Fox's "Opportunities" initiative has improved slightly
the plight of the poorest of the poor. Still, neither he nor Mexico's lawmakers
have advanced measures that would spur sustained growth, improve the quality of
the workforce, curb unemployment, and obviate the flight of Mexicans abroad.
Indeed, Mexico's leaders have turned hypocrisy from an art form into an exact
science as they shirk their obligations to fellow citizens, while decrying
efforts by the US senators and representatives to crack down on illegal
immigration at the border and the workplace. What are some examples of this
failure of responsibility? • When oil revenues are excluded, Mexico raises the
equivalent of only 9 percent of its gross domestic product in taxes - a figure
roughly equivalent to that of Haiti and far below the level of major Latin
American nations. Not only is Mexico's collection rate ridiculously low, its
fiscal regime is riddled with loopholes and exemptions, giving rise to
widespread evasion. Congress has rebuffed efforts to reform the system.
Insufficient revenues mean that Mexico spends relatively little on two key
elements of social mobility: Education commands just 5.3 percent of its GDP and
healthcare only 6.10 percent, according to the World Bank's last comparative
study. • A venal, "come-back-tomorrow" bureaucracy explains the 58
days it takes to open a business in Mexico compared with three days in Canada,
five days in the US, nine days in Jamaica, and 27 days in Chile. Mexico's
private sector estimates that 34 percent of the firms in the country made
"extra official" payments to functionaries and legislators in 2004.
These bribes totaled $11.2 billion and equaled 12 percent of GDP. •
Transparency International, a nongovernmental organization, placed Mexico in a
tie with Ghana, Panama, Peru, and Turkey for 65th among 158 countries surveyed
for corruption. • Economic competition is constrained by the presence of
inefficient, overstaffed state oil and electricity monopolies, as well as a
small number of private corporations - closely linked to government big shots -
that control telecommunications, television, food processing, transportation,
construction, and cement. Politicians who talk about, much less propose,
trust-busting measures are as rare as a snowfall in the Sonoran Desert.
Geography, self-interests, and humanitarian concerns require North America's
neighbors to cooperate on myriad issues, not the least of which is immigration.
However, Mexico's power brokers have failed to make the difficult decisions
necessary to use their nation's bountiful wealth to benefit the masses. Washington
and Ottawa have every right to insist that Mexico's pampered elite act
responsibly, rather than expecting US and Canadian taxpayers to shoulder
burdens Mexico should assume.
