Republican Heirarchy Seeks To Neuter Anti Illegal Members

Can't help myself, here's a little more of where Republicans have to close ranks with Democrats in California:

Welfare benefits for the children of illegal immigrants
cost America’s largest county more than $600 million last year,
according to a local official keeping tabs on the cost.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich released new
statistics this week showing social spending for those families in his
county rose to $53 million in November, putting the county government on
track to spend more than $600 million on related costs for the year —
up from $570 million in 2009.

Antonovich arrived at the estimate by factoring in the cost of food
stamps and welfare-style benefits through a state program known as
CalWORKS. Combined with public safety costs and health care costs, the
official claimed the “total cost for illegal immigrants to county
taxpayers” was more than $1.6 billion in 2010.

Not including the hundreds of millions of dollars for education,” he said in a statement.

Antonovich’s figures, though, center on costs generated by
American-born children of illegal immigrants.

Isabel Alegria, communications director at the California Immigrant Policy Center, said it’s
“unfair” to roll together costs associated with both illegal immigrants and U.S.-born citizens.

Isabel, the US born citizens referred to are children of illegals, so the two go hand in hand.

Hence the Democratic vote.
