Illegal Aliens Cost Los Angeles County Over $1 Billion per Year
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.
On a tip from V the K.

Van, did you see this from Best of the Web?
The comments are great, too.
Plus, IT HAS PICTURES!!!
Many happy years to the newlywed couple.

I wish them both well but it makes me laugh how cross dressing men always kid themselves they can pass as women ("...men get quite a shock when they realise I'm a man!") Sorry Dean you're completely deluded, dress however you want to and good luck to you, but you could never pass for a woman.

Good for him. I admire him for having the strength to be what he is without apology. How lucky he is to have found Robyn who loves him just as he is. Best of luck to the two of you!

Illegal immigration is a massive scam by which big business and rich elites get middle-class taxpayers to subsidize their maids, gardeners, and sweatshop laborers.

I like the minefields. I'm sure we have plenty left over.

V the K, I'd call you a konspiracy laden frothing rabid tinfoiled fedora wearin' Moonbat if what you just posted couldn't be truer.

And LA's response will simply be to jack up taxes on the law-abiding "gringos" and legal immigrants. After all, no one in their right mind would penalize illegals or even make the horrific suggestion that they be sent back to where they came from.

"Illegal immigration is a massive scam by which big business and rich elites get middle-class taxpayers to subsidize their maids, gardeners, and sweatshop laborers."
Agreed.
Now, what to do about it?
Will you join me in denouncing McCain for pushing amnesty and agree to turn your backs on him at the ballot box if he is selected the Republican candidate?
Will party override country for you?
Would you support the most unpopular, socially unacceptable action of all, deportation of all illegal aliens, elimination of citizenship as a birthright, and an eight-year moratorium on all LEGAL immigration, while this country reevaluates its "needs" for foreign workers and gets our immigration and naturalization bureaucracy streamlined, and back on track?
Are you willing to demand the release of border guards imprisoned for simply doing the jobs they were hired to do?
Do you believe that English, as our national and single official language, is essential to unifying and preserving our national culture, and all other languages should be abolished in our schools, on signwork and official forms, and on all packaging and product advertising?
Do you agree that full citizenship must be an essential prerequisite to obtaining driver licenses, bank accounts, mortgages, ownership of private enterprises, etc.?
Are you annoyed that foreign business entities control essential American facilities like ports, utilities, aircraft, etc., and that foreigners with allegiance to other lands are permitted to serve in our armed forces?
I see much guff and tough talk from the right on our immigration debacle.
But I am firmly on the left, and even though you are my enemy, I am curious to know how many of you agree with the points I have made above, because I most definitely support them and I am curious to know how outside forces are keeping the people's will from being enforced in these matters (for, after all, they are only existing laws and common sense to begin with).
My question is, are you willing to support and stand behind ALL that is required to restore order to our society, preserve our way of life and an ethnic balance that will not threaten its existence?
Because, if you are not, and you cannot stand up for these principles, all of the snarky posts in the world aren't going to make a damn bit of difference.

Oooookay... We just made the jump from hardcore conservatism to outright lunacy. Prepare for ludicrous speed!

Remember everyone; many of the illeagal aliens are paid CASH and therefore do not pay "witholding taxes", so they are not putting back into the system.
"hashfanatic at January 11, 2008 9:24 PM"
At last! You are getting a hang on reality! Thank you! (this is not sarcasm, pal)
I can't speak for all the posters here, but I have e-mailed and written my represenatives about MANY national problems. Also, as a Southern Democrat (NOT A LIBERAL/SOCIALIST!) I vote my conscience, not along party lines.

A few years ago, a farmer in Florida was found to be holding illegal aliens in near SLAVERY. V the K was not exagerating TOO much!

Hash says that we are the enemy. Too bad Al Qaeda isnt his or her enemy as well.
Posted by: Freedom Now at January 13, 2008 6:20 PM
You are the enemy.
And Al Qaeda can't threaten this nation's way of life.
It's entirely possible that Al Qaeda may not even exist.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised...

Perhaps you think that I am a traitor?
You couldnt show your true colors any better.
So was it controlled demolitions that brought down the World Trade Center?

"Perhaps you think that I am a traitor?"
Absolutely, yes.
"So was it controlled demolitions that brought down the World Trade Center?"
I don't know. Do you?
Posted by: hashfanatic at January 14, 2008 5:54 PM
Well that proves my point. See you in the next thread...
