June figures from the Department of Public Social Services report $54 million in welfare benefits were issued to illegal alien parents of their native-born children in Los Angeles County, announced County Mayor Michael D. Antonovich. The $54 million consists of $22 million in CalWORKs (welfare) and $32 million in Food Stamps — an increase of $3 million from June 2010.  This represents 22% of all CalWORKs and Food Stamp issuances in the County.  The projected annual cost has jumped to $625 million.

“With the $550 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for healthcare, the total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers exceeds $1.6 billion dollars a year,” said Antonovich.  “These costs do not include the hundreds of millions of dollars for education.”
