This is a curious article. Is this a county official actually saying this? I’d expect any such comments from a government official to be countered by claims that illegals contribute much more than they receive.
And it’s very strange for a media outlet (and again, a govt official) to actually use the words “illegal aliens” or “illegal immigrants”, instead of “undocumented immigrant”.
Antonovich has been fighting this for years. He puts out the numbers for illegals in LA every year. I do believe he is a lone voice though. Too bad.
