Illegals living in Los Angeles County were handed almost $1.3 billion in welfare payouts between the months of 2015 and 2016, Fox News reported, citing data.
That’s billion with a capital “B.”
That’s a quarter of what the county distributed to its entire needy population in those same months.
Liberals and government elitists always like to make the case that citizens ought to support some cheap-sounding fee- or tax-paying cause by grandly pronouncing, “It’s just the cost of a cup of coffee,” or “If everyone just gave up their Starbucks lattes, it’d pay for itself.”
Well, guess what $1.3 billion could pay for?

The best part of working under the table in CA is all the free welfare. However, it doesn’t work if you white. They’ll come after you if your name doesn’t sound Hispanic.
People need to go to jail for this.
Jeff Sessions, are you listening?
“between the months of 2015 and 2016”
Do what?
Source please.
As long as it’s not the taxpayers of Texas paying for it.
1.3 Billion is a very low ball number.
About 80% of LA. County’s annual budget is social welfare transfer payments
LA County’s total annual budget is about 22 billion dollars a year so about 18 billion dollars a year is spent on welfare payments to “ poor” people and about 4 billion is spent on workers, road land water system repairs, law enforcement , electricity, etc
The last major audit of LA County welfare fraud showed over 50% of all welfare spending in LA County is fraudulent
That means that 9-10 billion dollars a year are stolen via welfare fraud in LA County alone.
Illegals account for a large fraction of the fraud
This does not include the 4.8 billion dollars a year allocated to California’s Supreme Court mandated free medical care for illegal aliens
Forcing extreme taxes on citizens to pay billions to criminals for their welfare? CA then ignores federal law? Can we ignore their extreme taxes for millions of the criminals they welcomed in?
When do they start strafing legitimate law abiding citizens?
The rest of the county just needs to dig deeper.
and 99.99999% gets sent to home countries
Their votes, as it turns out, was quite expensive - and Hillary didn’t even get the job!
And that’s just what we know of, there’s probably another billion or so.
Only possible with a debt-based monetary system and a fiat, unbacked currency like ours.
I don’t think most people understand what just what one billion is...It’s 1,000 million, and 1.3 billion alone is 13,000 *million*!
And the real number is probably double++ that.
