Illegal Aliens Get Millions In Monthly Welfare Checks

On the verge of going bankrupt with an astounding $26.3 billion deficit, the nation’s most populous state is considering saving hundreds of millions of dollars annually by cutting monthly welfare payments to illegal immigrants.

The savings doesn’t even include the billions of dollars that California spends annually to educate, incarcerate and medically treat the 2.7 million illegal aliens (7% of the state’s population) who live in the state that has so generously offered them sanctuary for decades. It turns out that legislators are finally realizing that illegal immigrants are draining their precious Golden State.

would save a much-needed $640 million a year.

Its still chump change compared to what the state spends—between $4 billion and $6 billion annually—on schools, jails and hospitals for illegal immigrants. That doesn’t even include other local government costs such as police and

The painful price of DEMOCRAT votes.

Wow. A little rocket science going on here.

[Always Independent]

Its not a sanctuary for Illegals, its an Oasis.

[forgotten man]

“They pay taxes and without them our whole economy would collapse.” That is what they tell me.

[hosepipe]

WHY NOT?... If Americans are this eye rolling drooling STUPID... WHY NOT?...
Would be embarrassing to be a democrat if they had any sense..
Democrats and RINOs are a huge embarrassment..

No wonder people from ALL OVER THIS world are rolling America..

[steadfastconservative]

Do people who say that mean that illegal aliens are contributing $4-$6 billion each year in taxes to offset the costs of all the benefits they receive?

The painful price of DEMOCRAT votes.

Painful to non-Democrats exclusively.

[Walkingfeather]

Painful? its not their money....

“—goes to educating about 300,000 illegal immigrant children at public schools throughout the state.”

What is amazing is everyone has known about this all along, turning a blind-eye to keep programs and some school systems money flowing, now there is a crunch, the Illegal Free Loaders and friends are just whining the best they can to say it is unfair…well it’s not. An illegal with kids can make more money from state payments not working than a low income worker who has to pay the taxes.

What should enrage everyone, is that they do not educate these children or teach them to be know what America represents or to be Americans…ooohh no, they have to be taught moral relativism and cultural equivalence, that they should live in a third world neighborhood to have solidarity with their ancestors. Well if that is the reasoning, then they should go live in their or their parent’s native land to have the cultural experience so they can appreciate their lack of suffering and theft of the United States of America as a native land.

The Onion - I get it. Not a very good one though. There has to be some shred of maybe being true to be decent satire.

Parasites. And why illegal immigration drives people cuckoo. Some species of birds thrive not by carefully rearing their own young, but by pawning that task off on adults of other species. Female European Cuckoos lay their eggs only in the nests of other species of birds. Shortly after hatching, the young European Cuckoo, using a scoop-like depression on its back, instinctively shoves over the edge of the nest any solid object that it contacts. With the disappearance of their eggs and rightful young, the foster parents are free to devote all of their care to the young cuckoo. Frequently this is an awesome task, since the cuckoo chick often grows much larger than the host adults long before it can care for itself. One of the tragicomic scenes in nature is a pair of small foster parents working like Sisyphus to keep up with the voracious appetite of an outsized young cuckoo.

The people of California have gone cuckoo. This phenomena is called "brood parasitism."

This is NOT Onion.

Lord thank you for removing this devouring spirit of Malachi from our country in Jesus name !

“This is NOT Onion.”

Oh, come on. Their claiming this for California, not Arizona - this MUST be satire.

“Illegal aliens getting welfare? Fact, or Fiction?”

You should have learned the trick from the health care debate: The Dems claimed that Illegals would not get free health care, because the bill prohibited it. It also prohibited the government from checking on legal status of immigrants. LOL.

Same thing here - Illegals do not receive welfare since they don’t bother telling us they’re illegal (and we don’t check). The fact that 25% of the recipients only speak Spanish is besides the point.

[Little Ray]

NOW they figure this out?
