Investigation into Entitlements for Illegal Alien Families in California
What happened
A report published on legalinsurrection.com investigated the array of entitlements available to illegal alien families in California. The findings describe a 'Shadow Welfare System' funded by California taxpayers, which includes benefits such as health care, rental assistance, college grants, tax credits, low-cost car insurance, and smartphones. The annual cost of this system is estimated to be nearly $11 billion to California taxpayers alone.
Why it matters
The investigation found that an illegal alien couple with two U.S.-born children and one illegal alien grandparent could receive benefits valued up to $100,000 in a single calendar year. This highlights the scale of the state's financial exposure related to these entitlements.
