States, Local Governments Dealing With Illegal-alien Crisis

The greater Los Angeles metropolitan area is one of the most seriously impacted parts of the country. Unfortunately, Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich is fighting a lonely battle there against city and county governments that are in thrall to (or intimidated by) the radical Latino lobby. “Illegal immigration continues to have a devastating impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,” said Antonovich in a July 5 press release. “With $220 million for public safety, $400 million for healthcare, and $432 million in welfare allocations, the total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year — not including the millions of dollars for education.”
