OTHER FACTS ON MEXICO’S
SECOND LARGEST CITY OF LOS ANGELES:
93% OF THE MURDERS ARE BY
MEXICANS.
THE TAX-FREE UNDERGROUND
ECONOMY IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY IS ESTIMATED TO BE IN EXCESS OF $2 BILLION
YEARLY.
Los Angeles County Pays
Over a Billion in Welfare to Illegal Aliens Over Two Years
BY
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.
Slavering for that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsement, Elizabeth Warren now backs welfare for illegals
How far will Elizabeth Warren bend to get that coveted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsement?
Apparently, to some amazing ends.
The fake Indian Democratic presidential frontrunner, who's already surging past scandal-mired Joe Biden among the young, now says she endorses Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's plan for every illegal immigrant to get the full panoply of U.S. welfare benefits. That's in addition to the 'free' health care benefits they're in line to get from Democrats:
According to the Washington Free Beacon:
Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren endorsed a Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) policy proposal that includes taxpayer-funded welfare benefits for illegal immigrants.Ocasio-Cortez's proposal, dubbed "A Just Society," calls for nationwide rent control and bans the federal government from denying welfare benefits based on an individual's immigration status and previous criminal convictions. Warren became the first Democratic presidential candidate to endorse the plan, calling it "just the type of bold, comprehensive thinking we'll need" to make "big, structural change."
Seems a illegal-alien free ride for health care is not enough, Uncle Sam needs to pay foreigners who've thumbed their noses at U.S. immigration law for living expenses, too, according to Warren.
Which sounds like a real winner with voters, who in large numbers oppose free stuff for illegals. Remember this?
Incredibly, Warren's doing this after Democrats got oodles of criticism for supporting a free ride on health care for illegal immigrants, which prompted a unanimous raising of hands at the first Democratic debate. You'd think she'd want to keep this quiet.
Because it turns out that welfare for illegals is even less popular with the public. According to a Heritage poll:
On the one hand, 83 percent of Republican voters said that “illegal immigration affects my life,” including strong majorities of working-class and suburban voters. Yet when asked what they considered to be illegal immigration’s biggest consequence, the most common answer wasn’t violence, job losses or cultural change; more than half said overuse of social services.
A significant number of independents and even Democrats don't like free welfare for foreigners who've entered the U.S. illegally, either.
After all, it does serve a fresh incentive to immigrate to the U.S. illegally instead of come legally. Why bother with legal immigration when the goodies are free and waiting anyway? For someone living in Honduras working at backbreaking labor at a per capita income of $3,000 a year, the $18,000 or so a welfare lifestyle brings, especially with free housing and medical care, is a bargain in itself, with no work required at all.
Yet it makes zero sense. A vast generous welfare state is utterly incompatible with open borders, as economist Milton Friedman noted. You can have one, or you can have the other, but you can't have both.
What's more, Americans already finance health care for illegals to the tune of $18.5 billion a year, according to this estimate, which includes direct medical care, charity care, and cost-shifting, meaning, when you pay that rent-sized Obamacare premium, you're paying for the health care illegals already use without paying.
Yet here we have Elizabeth Warren, a supposedly educated Harvard professor, even if she didn't get her job honestly, advocating for an open trough of welfare benefits for illegals, ignoring cost, just hankering after that prized Ocasio-Cortez endorsement.
Ocasio-Cortez could declare the moon made of blue cheese and Warren would jump on.
It just goes to show how little leadership this compulsive phony has, that she would sign on with whatever an unusually stupid 29 year old from a safe district, elected on very low turnout, has to say. Is Warren serious, given the kinds of costs she plans to saddle the American taxpayers with? One can only hope the taxpayers on the receiving end of this bank-breaker have a lot more common sense than Warren does.
