If only there was some good use for this money in CaliBrokifornia

Welfare payments to children of illegal immigrants in Los Angeles County increased in July to $52 million, prompting renewed calls from one county supervisor to rein in public benefits to such families.

The payments, made to illegal immigrants for their U.S. citizen children, included $30 million in food stamps and $22 million from the CalWorks welfare program, according to county figures released Friday by Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.

Last year, welfare and food stamp issuances totaled nearly $570 million, and the amount is projected to exceed $600 million this year. In addition, county taxpayers spend $550 million in public safety — mostly for jail costs — and nearly $500 million for healthcare for illegal immigrants, Antonovich said.

I’m sorry, did I say California? My bad, I meant simply one county in California.

A 25-year-old illegal immigrant is behind bars after being accused in a Monday morning drive-by shooting that left a Hidalgo County father in critical condition.

Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Jaime Jimenez for the incident on Monday.

Remember, though, that every illegal is a good, model citizen.

Out of 340,000 babies born to illegal immigrants in the United States in 2008, 85 percent of the parents had been in the country for more than a year, and more than half for at least five years, Jeffrey Passel, a senior demographer for Pew, told The Associated Press.

Wait, I thought the whole “anchor babies” thing was a myth. The AP is, of course, trying to argue that since the illegals became pregnant after they were already here, that makes the babies…..well, something. Yet, liberals will still whine about separating families from their children when busted. So……that would make them anchor babies, would it not?
