A new report shows illegal aliens and their families in Los Angeles County collected over $35 million in welfare and food stamp allocations in June, announced Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.
Illegals collected nearly $20 million in welfare assistance for June, 2007 and an additional $15 million in monthly food stamp allocations for an estimated annual cost of $440 million.
“Illegal immigration continues to have a devastating impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,” said Antonovich. “In addition to $220 million for public safety and $360 million for healthcare, the $440 million in welfare allocations bring the total cost to County taxpayers that exceed $1 billion a year — this does not include the skyrocketing cost of education.”
