Illegal Immigrants' 'Anchor Babies' Took $53 Million In Welfare Services In L.A. County In 2010

• Lol. I'm as legal and american as they come. And you're a nutjob. Also, your awesome ideas sound like an awesome way to get your awesome city burnt to it's awesome foundations. Why? because there are hundreds of thousands of people who are sick of having their constitutional rights stripped so that you can find some other guy. I don't need to prove I'm a citizen, you need to prove I'm NOT. Boy.

• wait, you're trying to keep your muslim country from being retaken by europeans? No, that's right, you're talking out your ass and trying to use fancy words and big historical analogies you don't understand.

• Giving welfare to Illegal immigrants was forced on California. We voted in Proposition 187 in 1994 that banned welfare to illegal aliens and the courts and Bill Clinton negated that vote, promising to fix illegal immigration at the federal level. Sound familiar?

• supplement to q A, tho: will you be labeled as an apologist if your research leads you to believe that the taxes unauthorized immigrants pay very nearly equals what they "take" in public services? It is a well-documented fact, for instance, that their contributions to the SS fund run an annual surplus of 7-8 billion dollars - and they are not able to collect any benefits at the Federal level. IMHO, there is an issue with the *way* that tax revenue is handled. By my calculations, the Federal Government ends up with MORE money by the presence of unauthorized immigrants, while localities (such as LA County) end up with LESS. Yet the mandate that these services be provided is - if I understand correctly - a Federal mandate. One solution: find a way to distribute the $500 billion dollars that has accrued since 1986 in the SS trust fund to the localities (such as LA County) most financially burdened by the Federal Government's confused immigration policies. There is an especially good argument for this if the Federal gov't continues to stymie state and local attempts to deal with the problem in their own way (AZ).

• Secure the border. Start mass deportation. Issue work visas with the stipulation that any violation of law results in revocation and this problem goes away. We hold the cards, lets play them. Caught working without the work visa? /two weeks forced labor, caltrans, graffiti cleanup, scrubbing the filthy sidewalks in South Gate, and then deportation. Wake up people, PC is surrendering this country to savages without a shot being fired.

• Is there any sane debate possible on this issue without being seen as either: A. A racist if you dare point out the economic costs of illegals or B. If you defend the humanitarian aspect of accepting illegals and their hard work and contributions to the economy, you are seen as "La Raza" or "Mexican" etc.

• The impact of Illegal Immigrants out weighs the cost. Illegal Immigrants contribute to the economy by taking low paying jobs and purchasing goods. They make a great impact on agriculture by picking the fruits & veg on "our" tables, and construction, ...we need to understand the impact that the U.S has had on Latin American countries and how this has contributed to the flow of Illegal Immigrants. Immigration reform should be on the priority list to end this battle. We are all human beings and everyone has the right to pursue happiness...

• Do these figures really come as a surprise to anybody? Mexico breeds 'em, US feeds 'em. I say send Mexico the bill. This is all part of their Reconquista. Man up, US; before the invasion takes over and turns all of LA into another crime infested shantytown.

• We are left with two logically consistent choices. All other choices have no basis in consistency. [1] Take the legal citizen children from their illegal parents. Put these children into foster care. Deport the parents illegals. [2] Because children lack majority status and thus legal standing in their own right, only a parent or guardian can make legal choices for children. Until legal citizen status children reach the age of majority, deport the entire family, as the illegal parents have no standing basis to be inside the U.S.A. When the legal citizen status children reach the age of majority, allow for entrance back into the U.S.A. --- The current practice of allowing illegals to remain in the U.S.A. because of anchor babies is logically inconsistent with U.S. law and thus the practice should be ended.
