Assemblyman Chuck DeVore is demanding that legislative Democrats remove a $500 million budget allocation for illegal immigrant healthcare from the proposed state budget.

This Saturday during the Legislative Budget Conference Committee meeting, Democrats expanded the Healthy Families program to cover illegal immigrants and families of four with annual incomes of about $53,000.

"At a time when California has billions of dollars in debt, the last thing our state should be doing is increasing healthcare entitlements for illegal immigrants," explained Assemblyman DeVore.

"Whatever government subsidizes, it gets more of -- we should not increase the incentives to illegally come to California."

Chuck DeVore is my Assemblyman and a strong conservative.

It looks like he is doing a good job.

...explained Assemblyman DeVore. "Whatever government subsidizes, it gets more of -- we should not increase the incentives to illegally come to California."

No truer words. War on Poverty, War on Drugs,and the subsidy drives down quality and integrity as well.

[george76]

No wonder that the illegals move to California.

Proposed Bonus : Free Health Care thanks to the California tax payers.

Needs repeating.

"Whatever government subsidizes, it gets more of ..."

We are headed for Hawaii (financial decision since we inherited property there), friend going to Oklahoma, one to British Columbia, others looking at different places.

Instead of giving insurance to illegal immigrants, this money should go as direct grants to the hospitals in urban and border counties that are losing millions of dollars caring for illegals.

I liked this thought...

"At a time when California has billions of dollars in debt, the last thing our state should be doing is increasing ( any spending )..."

This California taxpayer is leaving! ...

a few yrs. ago, when whites became less than 50% of CA.'s population, i remember wonderin 'bout the tax base-no more wonderin....

[sheana]

Everyone I know works for a living and most are struggling. We are among the lucky ones. But yes, most are leaving because they can no longer afford to live here and are just sick to death of the California tax and welfare state.

Yikes! Frying pan, fire.
Still, Hawaii ain't a bad place to kick back with an inheritance!

[sheana]

Exactly! We own 2 acres, gonna build on it and sit in the middle of it and be left alone. ;)
