According to a stunning new report from Fox News, Los Angeles, which happens to be a sanctuary city, forked out $1.3 billion in payouts for illegal immigrant welfare in the last two years alone. That’s one quarter of what they spend on the ENTIRE poor population in Los Angeles County. Illegal immigrants are sucking up a quarter of their entitlements. Illegals. They’re doing that, and LA is happy to comply.
The data was obtained from the county Department of Public Social Services — which is responsible for doling out the benefits — and gives a snapshot of the financial costs associated with sanctuary and related policies.
The sanctuary county of Los Angeles is an illegal immigration epicenter, with the largest concentration of any county in the nation, according to a study from the Migration Policy Institute. The county also allows illegal immigrant parents with children born in the United States to seek welfare and food stamp benefits.
Heritage Foundation senior fellow Robert Rector said illegals in LA get “$3 in benefits for every $1 they spend.”
Roughly a quarter of California’s 4 million illegal immigrants reside in Los Angeles County.
In 2013, California spent a total of $25.3 billion on illegal immigrants – or $2,370 per U.S. citizen household, according to a 2013 study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Texas and New York were second and third, at $12.1 billion and $9.5 billion, respectively.
Again– we’re talking billions. And this is just one city. What about the others? I don’t even want to think about it.
Way to go California. Way. To. Go.
