Re: L.A. County - 1/4 of welfare to illegals

America's fastest growing minority will make us just another failed
Latin American nation like Mexico.  The rest of the world respected us
more when we were 90 percent White and the U.S. was the bread basket
and manufacturing giant of the world rather than a loser country that
is fighting two wars overseas while allowing Mexico to dump its
mestizos and narcotics into our urban areas and Balkanize our
nation.

Don't worry.  You won't be in a position to announce that news.

Thanks.

Thus requesting the high court that a century of precedents and
customs be disregarded?

Not to mention the nose dive that the US image and world leadership
would take.

I wouldn't want to be the one to give the bad news -nay, the slap on
the face- to the parents of all those anchor babies who are giving
their life and limb.

Good luck with that approach, keep us posted...

Or it could be challenged in The Supreme Court, and interpreted properly.

Report: One-fourth of welfare payments go to illegals
From wire service reports
Posted: 03/10/2010 07:08:55 AM PST

Nearly one-quarter of state welfare payments and food stamps issued in
Los Angeles County go to children whose parents are in the U.S.
illegally, according to January figures released today.

Supervisor Mike Antonovich offered the statistics, generated by the
county's Department of Public Social Services, to help make the case for
enforcing the nation's borders, establishing health care clinics on the
border with Mexico and reimbursing local governments for unfunded state
and federal mandates, according to his press deputy, Tony Bell.

The numbers show that more than $50 million in CalWORKS benefits and food
stamps for January went to children born in the United States whose
parents are in the country without documentation. This represents
approximately 23 percent of the total benefits under the state welfare
and food stamp programs, Antonovich said.

"When you add this to $350 million for public safety and nearly $500
million for health care, the total cost for illegal immigrants to county
taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year -- not including the millions of
dollars for education," Antonovich said.

Shirley Christensen of the Department of Public Social Services said,
"Our mission is to aid people who qualify and are eligible to receive
benefits. We're carrying out the laws, federal laws."

Christensen emphasized that those receiving benefits were eligible for
aid as U.S. citizens.

This is due to our idiotic policy of birthright citizenship that congress
could easily change.  Canada and america are the only developed countries
that still have it. The law should say children inherit the nationality
of the mother.
