But if not for illegals, how would Los Angelinos get their restaurant tables bussed, ditches dug and their lawns mowed for a mere $10 an hour? Sounds like a bargain for a mere 3/4 billion dollars a year in taxpayer money/sarc.

WOW. Just one county? I guess I no longer have to wonder why California seems perpetually on the edge of bankruptcy.

OUT !!! Not one damn dollar to any of these. You want the illegals out, stop subsidizing them.

"What I want to make clear is the children we aid are legally eligible to be aided," Christensen said. "They are the children of undocumented parents, but they themselves are not undocumented. They were born in this country."

...yes deary, you've made that perfectly clear and thats why laws must change, Thank you.

I have a cousin that teaches first grade in the LAUSD. There are NO white kids in her class, only Mexican kids. Every single one of them get public assistance one way or the other.

And how much more money is spent educating these children of illegal immigrants ?

THANK YOU WASHINGTON, DC. The gift that just keeps on "giving" er, TAKING.

At last someone gets it right ~ it's not illegal aliens on welfare, it's their kids, and that's only because we are not aggressive enough in sending their parents back to wherever they came from and adopting those kids out to responsible people.

You want something that will shut illegal aliens out of the country, just take their kids.

"the children we aid are legally eligible to be aided"

Thanks to the wonderful anchor baby provision of the 14th Amendment!

Why are ILLEGAL ALIENS allowed to collect welfare benefits in the first place? All the minoroties working at the welfare offices need to be FIRED!!

Nothing will change until California taxpayers start rebelling, demonstrating and refusing to accept this crap any longer!!

Come on Californians you can do it!

I did my internship at LAC USC med center in the early 80's. Illegals would wait until they were "crowning" ( ie the head was showing) before coming in to deliver. We used to joke that we made more citizens the a federal judge. It's no joke anymore.

that close to 100,000 children of illegal immigrants in the county collect $276 million in annual welfare benefits.

How the hell is this LEGAL for ILLEGALs to even apply for this money?

How about letting young men between the ages of 12 and 18 learn a trade instead of hanging out loafing all summer and getting into trouble? Unfortunately, because of labor laws and laibility, no building contractor will hire young men that age - which creates a ready pool of jobs for illegals and a pool of unemployed delinquents.

Dream on. The American people by and large have lost their will to fight for such causes. They'll continue to accept what they're told to do by the great shepherd who knows all to well how to control the sheeple.
