While California is already notorious for having a massive welfare state -- accompanied by massive amounts of welfare fraud -- a new report revealed the extent to which California handouts bankroll illegal aliens.
The report from City Journal fellow Christopher Rufo, joined by Kenneth Schrupp and Austen Hufford, even described the programs as a "shadow welfare system."
Among other benefits, foreigners can receive "health care, rental assistance, college grants, tax credits, low-cost car insurance, and even smartphones on the taxpayers’ dime," the report said.
The team from the City Journal visited four welfare offices in California -- where employees admitted that illegal aliens can receive the benefits, or accept benefits on behalf of their children.
That spending amounted to $11 billion of subsidies for illegal aliens in the previous fiscal year alone.
“If you were born here and the child was born here, you get money for two,” a welfare officer in Los Angeles said of CalWORKS, which provides short-term cash assistance to families.
EXCLUSIVE: California has created a shadow welfare system for illegal aliens. Free housing, cash, healthcare, food, phones, college tuition, even car insurance—costing taxpayers more than $10 billion per year.

Why aren’t these people in jail!

“If you were born here and the child was born here, you get money for two,”
Most of us live our lives in a rather restricted geographical area.
About 90% of my time is spent on my 5/8th acre property.
Over 95% of my time is spent in my neighborhood.
Over 98% of my time is spent within 1/4 mile of US41 (not more than 15 miles away).
The average cost of annual health care cost coverage for a family is more than half the value of the construction materials for a Casa Griffin.
The debt of the federal government per American citizen is 3 times the cost of construction materials for a Casa Griffin.
The debt of the federal government per American citizen family of four is 12 times the cost of construction materials for a Casa Griffin.
And just where does this money magically appear from?
Whose magic money hat doe sit get pulled out of?
Imagine if they had spent all these millions on housing our own poor and helpless instead of the third world’s trash grifters................
It’s not about who defend the country but those who change it?.
“...The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984
I bet at least half of that 11 billion went to ‘administrative’ costs.

*********************************
Casa Griffin is a concrete block house. The front wall is 48 feet long, the longest side wall is 32 feet long. The concrete block walls are 160 feet long.
An 8”x8”x16” concrete block was $2.17 at Lowe’s when I checked.
My Florida house would be built on a slab with integrated poured footings nowadays. That means stacking those blocks 12 high for 8’-foot ceilings.
To run 16” blocks 160 feet means 120 of them.
Leaving out windows which are more costly than blocks, that would mean 12x120 blocks or 1,440 blocks which at $2.17 each would cost $3,124.80 for concrete blocks to build Casa Griffin.
Casa Griffin is L-shaped and its front wall is 48 feet long and its longest side wall is 32 feet long and the shortest side wall is about 27-feet long.
Its slab areas are a 10’x10’ lanai slab plus the main slab of 48’x32’[1,532 sq. ft.] less roughly 34’x5’[170 sq. ft.], with the garage being on a lower slab, for a total of 1,452 sq. ft., for about 18 cu. yds. of concrete 4” deep.
Adding in concrete of about 1.5 cu. ft./linear foot to form a footing for what would be the main slab would add about 240 cu. ft.
Adding in concrete of about .75 cu. ft./linear foot to form a footing for what would be the lanai slab would add about 30 cu. ft.
Together, the slab concrete if Casa Griffin was to be built in 2025 would be about 28 cu. yds.
To add in footing concrete for a lower garage slab would add about 60 cu. ft., for about 30 cu. yds.
To fill an 8”x8”x16” concrete block would take about 1/3th of a cubic foot of concrete. To fill 1,440 of them would take about 480 cu. ft. or about 18 cu. yds.
That’s about 48 cu. yds. of concrete to build Casa Griffin. At $180 per cu. yd., the concrete would come to $8,640.
Its driveway is 10 feet wide and 60 feet long. Its sidewalk is 3 feet wide and 25 feet long. At 4” thick, that would come to 8⅓ cu. yds. of concrete and about $1,500.
The cost of the concrete would sum to about $10,140.
[That would not include the webs, reinforcing bars or their supports.]

On target to bad many are not informed about George Orwell’s observations.

1984 was required reading when I was in high school.
It should be it’s about education
Imagine if they had left this money in the hands of the taxpayers who earned it ....
THE BIGGEST INSULT??????????/
CALIF ILLEGALS GET LOW COST CAR INSURANCE !!!!!!!!
MEANWHILE AMERICANS PAY A HUGE PREMIUM FOR UNINSURED DRIVERS BECAUSE THAT LOW COST INSURANCE DOESN’T DO MUCH.
"Provides About $1.6 Billion for CalWORKs Administration and Support Services. The state provides counties with a “single allocation” to cover most costs associated with CalWORKs aside from cash assistance." link
Yes. Thank you. The real money is in the highly cronified subcontractor schemes they’re so good at. How much of that is recycled back into protecting Rat power.
