If you're on heart medication, take some before reading this:
New statistics from the Department of Public Social Services reveal that
illegal aliens and their families in Los Angeles County collected over $37
million in welfare and food stamp allocations in November 2007 - up $3
million dollars from September, announced Los Angeles County Supervisor
Michael D. Antonovich.
Twenty five percent of the all welfare and food stamps benefits is going
directly to the children of illegal aliens.
Illegals collected over $20 million in welfare assistance for November
2007
and over $16 million in monthly food stamp allocations for a projected
annual cost of $444 million.
"This new information shows an alarming increase in the devastating impact
Illegal immigration continues to have on Los Angeles County taxpayers,"
said
Antonovich.
"With $220 million for public safety, $400 million for healthcare, and
$444
million in welfare allocations, the total cost for illegal immigrants to
County taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year - not including the
millions
of dollars for education."
This is the partial cost of illegal immigration in just one county.
A border fence would pay for itself even if we made it out of gold -
although a minefield might be more appropriate.
