Kobach: California Shouldn’t Demand Money from the Rest of Us Only to Give it to Illegal Aliens
3:51
Once again, California Governor Gavin
Newsom (D) has gone to extraordinary
lengths to reward illegal immigration and
encourage illegal aliens to stay in the United
States. On Wednesday, he announced that—
due to the coronavirus pandemic—California
will give $500 checks to 150,000 low-income
illegal aliens. The cost to taxpayers will be
$125 million.
Newsom (D) has gone to extraordinary
lengths to reward illegal immigration and
encourage illegal aliens to stay in the United
States. On Wednesday, he announced that—
due to the coronavirus pandemic—California
will give $500 checks to 150,000 low-income
illegal aliens. The cost to taxpayers will be
$125 million.
This came a day after Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that illegal aliens will be eligible to receive $1,500 checks that the city will be handing out to its residents.
What Newsom and Garcetti are doing is illegal under federal law. In 1996 Congress passed a major welfare reform act. A crucial section of that law prohibits states and localities from giving public benefits to illegal aliens. And it remains in federal law today at 8 U.S.C. 1621: an illegal alien “is not eligible for any State or local public benefit.” Public benefit includes “any … benefit for which payments or assistance are provided to an individual, household, or family eligibility unit by an agency of a State or local government….”
We stopped hoping that California would follow federal law a long time ago; these latest actions continue a pattern. As I wrote last July, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) was the first governor to sign a bill making free health care available to illegal aliens. The cost of providing those benefits to illegal aliens was a massive $98 million. That giveaway, too, violates federal law.
But now Newsom is providing millions of dollars in checks to illegal aliens while at the same time expecting the rest of the country to subsidize this spending. California officials are hoping that the federal government will reimburse 75% of the state’s coronavirus expenditures.
And Democrats in Congress are demanding that we federal taxpayers cough up the money. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) want the federal government to provide $150 billion to state and local governments to help absorb their coronavirus spending.
The audacity of handing unlawful checks to illegal aliens while demanding that the rest of us pay for it is breathtaking. Especially when red states have kept their spending under control and have not been handing checks to illegal aliens.
No state that is handing checks to illegal aliens, subsidizing free health care for illegal aliens, and offering sanctuary to illegal aliens – all in violation of federal law – deserves a penny of assistance from the rest of us taxpayers. Not to mention the fact that an unprecedented number of low-income Americans are unemployed. Those U.S. citizens shouldn’t have to compete with illegal aliens for jobs when the economy reopens. But Newsom and other California Democrats are encouraging the illegal aliens to remain.
You would think that California officials would put U.S. citizens first just once, during this time of national crisis. But you’d be wrong.

Refugees cost taxpayers $60K-$133K — more
than for illegal immigrants
Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant
Welfare
More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the
state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.
As
Breitbart News has reported,
U.S. households headed by foreign-born residents use nearly twice the welfare
of households headed by native-born Americans.
For example, a DACA amnesty would cost American taxpayers about $26 billion, more than the border wall, and that does not include the money taxpayers would have to fork up to subsidize the legal immigrant relatives of DACA illegal aliens.

“Specifically, we find
that the average refugee will cost around $60,000 in net present value over his
or her lifetime, with adult refugees costing upwards of $133,000. These costs
are due mainly to the low levels of education possessed by refugees upon their
arrival,” they added.
Refugees cost taxpayers $60K-$133K — more
than for illegal immigrants
by Paul Bedard
Even more than
immigrants, especially those in the United States illegally, refugees who enter
the country and tap into social welfare programs cost taxpayers
$60,000-$133,000, according to a new analysis.
In its latest report on
the costs to U.S. citizens for its welcoming immigration and refugee policies,
the Center for Immigration Studies said it was bringing accuracy to the issue
of costs to help policymakers in the immigration field.
It said that the
reports on refugee costs are inaccurate, do not include all programs refugees
tap, and do not take into account the education level of new arrivals, a key to
whether they will be a burden or not.
“In reality, the fiscal
impact of refugee resettlement is just one aspect of a more complex issue
involving economic, social, and political considerations. The purpose of this
report is not to argue that all refugee resettlement is wrong, but rather to
remind policymakers that there are costs associated with the program,” said the
authors of The Fiscal Impact of Refugee
Resettlement: No Free Lunch for Taxpayers.
“Specifically, we find
that the average refugee will cost around $60,000 in net present value over his
or her lifetime, with adult refugees costing upwards of $133,000. These costs
are due mainly to the low levels of education possessed by refugees upon their
arrival,” they added.
The refugee issue has
been a hot one under President Trump. He has cut the numbers of refugees
allowed into the U.S. each year and has asked states to say if they want
refugees.
In its report, CIS said
that some reports on refugee costs are inaccurate because they do not include
all programs refugees tap. Further, the reports lump the more educated refugees
who arrived a generation ago, with today’s refugees who arrive much less
educated. The report states that refugees who arrived a generation or two ago
were often quite educated, but government data indicates that today’s refugees
only have nine years of schooling on average.
Steven Camarota, the
center's director of research and co-author of the report, said, "The low
education attainment level of so many of today's refugees means they need a
great deal of government assistance. Given these costs, policymakers have to
decide if it makes more sense to settle a modest number here or help many more
people overseas."
His key points pulled
from the report:
- "The
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine developed a
model that estimates the lifetime fiscal impact of new immigrants,
counting all taxes paid and services consumed at the federal, state, and
local levels. Educational attainment is the most important predictor in
the model. Generally speaking, highly educated immigrants will contribute
more in taxes than they consume in services, while immigrants with low
levels of education will contribute less than they consume."
- "Based
on data from the Annual Survey of Refugees, one-third of refugees between
the ages of 25 and 64 completed no more than the sixth grade before their
arrival in the United States. About 53 percent have less than a high
school diploma. Only 18 percent have education beyond high school."
- "Because
the National Academies model is based on all immigrants at each education
level, some adjustments are required for refugees who, unlike most
immigrants, impose administrative costs for resettlement and can access
welfare payments immediately. After these adjustments, our cost estimate
rises to $60,000 per refugee."
- "Although
the fiscal impact of refugees is negative overall, it differs
significantly across age groups. Refugees who enter as adults (age 25 and
over) have a large negative impact under every plausible model. Refugees
who enter as children may have a positive impact, although this requires
optimistic assumptions about mobility."
- "No
plausible model, not even the National Academies’ best-case scenario,
comes close to suggesting that refugees who enter as adults will be net
fiscal contributors. Refugee-specific costs add about 22% over and above
the cost of other immigrants, but low education by itself is enough to
push adult refugees' estimated fiscal impact well into negative territory.
The National Academies is more optimistic about the children of low-skill
adult immigrants, whom the model assumes will surpass their parents'
education levels. But even with favorable assumptions about refugee
children, the overall impact (all age groups combined) is still clearly
negative."
Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant
Welfare
More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the
state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.
The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that
about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or
more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one
immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.
Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by
native-born Americans use welfare in California.
All four states with the largest foreign-born populations,
including California, have extremely high use of welfare by immigrant
households. In Texas, for example, nearly 70 percent of households headed by
immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare. Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of
native-born households in Texas are on welfare.
In New York and Florida, a majority of households headed by
immigrants and noncitizens are on welfare. Overall, about 63 percent of
immigrant households use welfare while only 35 percent of native-born
households use welfare.
President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a
policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the
mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public
charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a
permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the
past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.
The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers
in the form of an annual $57.4
billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for
the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of
1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.
As Breitbart News reported, the majority of
the more than 1.5 million foreign nationals entering the country every
year use about 57
percent more food stamps than the average native-born American
household. Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash
welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid
dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44 million foreign-born
population translates to the average immigrant household costing American
taxpayers $6,234 in federal
welfare.
THE NEW PRIVILEGED CLASS: Illegals!
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.

This annual income for an impoverished American family is

each unaccompanied minor border crosser.
A study by Tom Wong
of the University of California at San Diego discovered that more than 25 percent
of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens in the program have anchor babies. That totals
about 200,000 anchor babies who are the children of DACA-enrolled illegal
aliens. This does not include the anchor babies of DACA-qualified illegal
aliens. JOHN BINDER

Camarota: Every Illegal Alien Costs Americans $70K Over Their Lifetime
Every illegal alien, over the
course of their lifetime, costs American taxpayers about $70,000, Center for
Immigration Studies Director of Research Steve Camarota says.
During an interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart
News Daily, Camarota said his research has revealed the
enormous financial burden that illegal immigration has on America’s working and
middle class taxpayers in terms of public services, depressed wages, and
welfare.
“In a person’s lifetime, I’ve estimated that an illegal border
crosser might cost taxpayers … maybe over $70,000 a year as a net cost,”
Camarota said. “And that excludes the cost of their U.S.-born children, which
gets pretty big when you add that in.”
LISTEN:
“Once [an illegal alien] has a child, they can receive cash
welfare on behalf of their U.S.-born children,” Camarota explained. “Once they
have a child, they can live in public housing. Once they have a child, they can
receive food stamps on behalf of that child. That’s how that works.”
Camarota said the education levels of illegal aliens, border
crossers, and legal immigrants are largely to blame for the high level of
welfare usage by the f0reign-born population in the U.S., noting that new
arrivals tend to compete for jobs against America’s poor and working class
communities.
In past waves of mass immigration, Camarota said, the U.S. did
not have an expansive welfare system. Today’s ever-growing welfare system,
coupled with mass illegal and legal immigration levels, is “extremely
problematic,” according to Camarota, for American taxpayers.
The RAISE Act — reintroduced in the
Senate by Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR), David Perdue (R-GA), and
Josh Hawley (R-MO) — would cut legal immigration levels in half and convert the
immigration system to favor well-educated foreign nationals, thus relieving
American workers and taxpayers of the nearly five-decade-long wave of booming
immigration. Currently, mass legal immigration redistributes the
wealth of working and middle class Americans to the country’s top
earners.
“Virtually none of that existed in 1900 during the last great
wave of immigration, when we also took in a number of poor people. We didn’t
have a well-developed welfare state,” Camarota continued:
We’re not going to stop [the welfare state] tomorrow. So in
that context, bringing in less educated people who are poor is extremely
problematic for public coffers, for taxpayers in a way that it wasn’t in 1900
because the roads weren’t even paved between the cities in 1900. It’s just
a totally different world. And that’s the point of the RAISE Act is to
sort of bring in line immigration policy with the reality say of a large government
… and a welfare state. [Emphasis added]
The immigrants are not all coming to get welfare and they don’t
immediately sign up, but over time, an enormous fraction sign their
children up. It’s likely the case that of the U.S.-born children of
illegal immigrants, more than half are signed up for Medicaid — which
is our most expensive program. [Emphasis added]
As Breitbart
News has reported, U.S. households headed by foreign-born
residents use nearly twice the welfare of households headed by native-born
Americans.
Every year the U.S.
admits more than 1.5 million foreign nationals, with the vast majority
deriving from chain migration. In 2017, the foreign-born population reached a record high of 44.5 million. By 2023, the
Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the legal and illegal immigrant
population of the U.S. will make up nearly 15 percent of the entire U.S.
population.
