Jan 20, 2011 (18 hours ago)Welfare Tab for Children of Illegal Aliens Cost Los Angeles Count $600 Million in 2010… Not Counting Educationfrom Gateway Pundit by Jim HoftThe welfare tab for the children of illegal immigrants cost Los Angeles County alone $600 million in 2010. This did not include the cost of education.
FOX News reported:
Welfare benefits for the children of illegal immigrants cost America’s largest county more than $600 million last year, according to a local official keeping tabs on the cost.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich released new statistics this week showing social spending for those families in his county rose to $53 million in November, putting the county government on track to spend more than $600 million on related costs for the year — up from $570 million in 2009.
Antonovich arrived at the estimate by factoring in the cost of food stamps and welfare-style benefits through a state program known as CalWORKS. Combined with public safety costs and health care costs, the official claimed the “total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers” was more than $1.6 billion in 2010.
Not including the hundreds of millions of dollars for education,” he said in a statement.
Antonovich’s figures, though, center on costs generated by American-born children of illegal immigrants. Isabel Alegria, communications director at the California Immigrant Policy Center, said it’s “unfair” to roll together costs associated with both illegal immigrants and U.S.-born citizens.
