California, which failed to prevent the spread of wildfires in Los Angeles last month and is struggling to repair the damage, is set to spend nearly $10 billion on health care for illegal aliens, according to a nonpartisan state analyst.

Fox News reported Thursday:

Guadalupe Manriquez, the California Department of Finance program budget manager, told the state Assembly Budget Committee Monday the state is “spending $9.5 billion total funds” to “cover undocumented individuals in Medi-Cal” in the current year.

Californians profit from the spending and much of it comes from or is offset by federal funding sources so we are paying for it.

And so it continues. How does one defend funding for illegal aliens free access to health care, housing, food and spending cash vs Americans that pay for this have lost everything?

“Fire-Ravaged California Spending Nearly $10 Billion on Health Care for Illegal Aliens”

Keep in mind that most Illegals are young and generally healthy, with the only real costs in that bracket are related to childbirths.

The more important question is how much did California bill the feds for this (and other forms of welfare for Illegals) and who will go to jail for it.

Unfortunately, you're not wrong. I would be shocked if they voted the Democrats out.

If the conservative areas are serious about forming their own state, now might be the time.

Outside California, illegal aliens are uninsured, but they are guaranteed free care in the emergency room under the Emergency Treatment and Active Labor Act. So for the whole country the bill is about $100 billion. And public schools are required to accept them, but they don’t pay any property tax, so there’s another 50 billion at least. There are eligible for Supplemental Social Security benefits, which are payments to anyone with low income, with no citizenship required. They are eligible for food stamps, WIC, free hotels in Manhattan, free debit cards, etc. The total bill is probably $500 billion. And then there is MS-13 and TrA, there is a cost to that too. There is Fentanyl trafficking, child traffiking, and more

Seems like this situation might be a good way to round up illegals, just wait for them in the parking lots. A good way to sort out the lousy judges too.

Why would Trump send Fire Relief Money to CA?
Newscum should cut the $10 Billion for Illegals and use that money
for Fire Relief Money.

Um, right. People that have never had healthcare their entire lives find themselves in a country that will give them free healthcare for everything that's ever ailed them.

Go visit an emergency room in CA and get back to us.
