I think someone should tell these poor victims that if they were not breaking the law, they would not need to be afraid of calling the law. http://www.galeo.org/story.php?story_id=0000005097

You aren't advocating arresting criminals, are you? This is the United States of the Americas. Most of these illegals are law-abiding citizens, except for that little law about immigration. How are we to separate the criminal from the almost criminal? Every move we make is trackable by our SSN. There is no tracking where there is no number. Fake or stolen don't count. Why should we have to worry about our SSN and protecting it when that is the job being neglected by our Government. Why aren't we protesting in the streets to demand our rights? This is our country,isn't it? WE have rights, don't we?

Now this is sad! Los Angels County: 10% of Los Angeles County residents are illegal aliens (the highest percentage of county residents in the country) Illegal aliens cost the county greater than one billion dollars per year in taxpayer costs, not counting education. Breakdown: $444 million for welfare and food stamps $400 million for health care $220 million for correctional services, law enforcement and other public safety costs New statistics from the Department of Public Social Services reveal that illegal aliens and their families in Los Angeles County collected over $37 million in welfare and food stamp allocations in November 2007, which is up $3 million dollars from September. Children of illegal aliens receive 25% of welfare and food stamp money. ---Mike Antonovich, LA County Supervisor

I just can't wrap my head around the idea that people who are here illegally can benefit from American programs like welfare and food stamps. It's just wrong. Especially when we have Americans that are poverty level and still manage to eke out an existence. It amazes me.

They see nothing wrong with it and they've been doing it for years right under our noses. 6 + 4 = 1 Tenuous Existence An illegal immigrant couple with six children were already living in poverty. Then the quadruplets arrived. They're still in a daze. By Sam Quinones, Times Staff Writer July 28, 2006 With two teenage daughters at home and triplets still in diapers, Angela Magdaleno's family overflowed from a one-bedroom apartment in South Los Angeles that they strained to afford. Diapers had to be changed 15 times a day, feedings held every three hours. One triplet, 3-year-old Alfredo Jr., needed special attention because he was born with liquid on his brain and partially paralyzed. And that was before the quadruplets arrived. On July 6, Magdaleno gave birth to two boys and two girls, drawing national media attention as a bewildered mother of 10 (with nine living at home). Now, she and her husband, Alfredo Anzaldo, 44, must figure out how to provide for everyone on Anzaldo's maximum pay of $400 a week as a carpet installer. As cameras flashed two weeks ago, capturing the 40-year-old mother with her newest progeny, she appeared dazed, even morose. They'd have to leave their $600-a-month apartment for something bigger. They'd have to buy a minivan with room for four more car seats. Both Magdaleno and Anzaldo are illegal immigrants, settled for years in an immigrant enclave. Neither Magdaleno nor her husband speaks English, though she has been in the United States 22 years and he 28. Even her teenage daughters speak mostly Spanish; their English vocabulary is limited. Yet all of Magdaleno's 10 children are U.S. citizens. The triplets receive subsidized school lunches. All the youngsters have had their healthcare bills covered by Medi-Cal, the state and federal healthcare program for the poor. Alfredo Jr. had been hospitalized all his life until recently. He's had three state-funded brain operations and will require several more, the family said. The couple receive $700 in monthly Social Security payments to help with his medical needs. "I thank this country that they gave me Medi-Cal," Magdaleno said. "There's nothing like that in Mexico."
