Southern Californians, did you know that 2/3 of all births in LA County hospitals are to illegal aliens?

Question

I had been trying to figure out if a sole estimate I had seen that 40% of all students in LAUSD schools were illegal aliens or children of illegal aliens could possibly be accurate. Now I believe it.

"Michael Antonovich of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors states that two-thirds of the births in Los Angeles county hospitals are to illegal aliens. Additionally, Mr. Antonovich notes that these children now account for 30 percent of all AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) cases in Los Angeles County."

Thanks, Sashie, for the link.

What do you think?

testy, I specifically never quoted that urban myth mentioned in your link because I could never track down an actual LA Times source even though it was circulated as being from the LA Times. CIS, however, is a think tank whose studies are used for lobbying the government. While their agenda selects the precise elements they look at, they aren't going to lie about it, or they would lose credibility for all future studies.

hqwin - I wasn't even thinking that they were breeding like rabbits. I was thinking that there was an overwhelming number of them, and no wonder our school system has no funds for the programs it had when I was a child. It all goes to ESL.

Pancha, my biggest concern is the schools. The more illegal immigrant children and children of illegal immigrants, the greater burden the rest of us have to subsidize while getting less and less acceptable instruction out of the schools for our own children.

Walls closing in? No. Problem that needs drastic action? Yes.

Answer 1

That bit of info doesn't surprise me one iota.
Think how many illegal aliens - you can call 'em immigrants, they're still aliens - will tax our social services by the year 2010 if we don't plug those border leaks.e

Answer 2

I think that if everybody else in LA County was Catholic and observed the ban on birth control, as well, this would not be so.

In addition, we must remember that there are a lot of women in LA County who must keep their weight below 92 pounds, or risk losing their jobs/husbands/fragile self-esteem. So it's not necessarily that the immigrants (illegal or otherwise) or reproducing like rabbits. Maybe all other groups just have a LOW birth rate in comparison.

Statistics can be interpreted lots of ways, precious.

Answer 3

You are one of those morons that believes anything they read on the Internet without researching it independently.

The California Vital Records Department of the Department of Health Services classified as "Hispanic" the race/ethnicity of 62.7% of all births occurring in Los Angeles county in 2001. The statistic you quoted therefore erroneously characterizes all parents of Hispanic heritage in Los Angeles County in 2001 as being illegal which in no way do these records reflect.

Answer 4

The U.S. ought to cost a 50% tax on all cord transfers made via non electorate who won't be able to educate they have a legal good to artwork in this united states (eco-friendly card) the authorities keeps feeding us this canines and pony educate about how they are not user-friendly at artwork attempting to go back up with an immigration reform bill only so they dont genuinely ought to DO something about it....we do not want immigration reform, the regulations are already there what we want is immigration enforcement!!!!! The republicans choose them right here only so they can make huge revenue off of their exertions....The democrats choose them right here as leverage over hispanic voters and to apply them as a "sufferer" type vote casting base the way they use different minorities. OPEN your eyes the authorities is a HUUUGE company of illegals!!!!! next time you force via a highway structure crew go searching!!! And earlier you latinos commence calling me a racist imagine about this....in case you took all that interest and cohesion you latterly confirmed on your protests and utilized that to fixing your own united states instead of attempting to regulate ours you may want to accomplish a lot that you wouldnt want to go back right here!!!!!! What particularly receives me is how we are criticized for desirous to do What the mexican authorities does to their illegals. it truly is a legal to be in mexico illegally and they implement the hell out thier southern border utilising the protection rigidity. a contemporary episode of "heroes" even stated it....2 hondurans are sneaking into mexico and they are instructed in the experience that they are stuck they are going to be shot.

Answer 5

HOAX.

Its a hoax. Don't believe everything you read...

Just because its on a website someplace does not make it true (now, I do tend to believe the LA Times when they say that blogs around the world that are citing the paper as a source are wrong...)

Answer 6

It's not surprising, especially since the county hospital is located in the center of a large population area of (insert your favorite perjorative here). How did this situation get so bad. Perhaps so many of the whites moved out so long ago when they saw their neighborhoods changing.
I certainly can't figure out any other explanation.

Answer 7

My sister in law just had a baby and while visiting her and the baby at the specialized woman's center in Arkansas, (expensive), I looked in where all the babies were and out of about 10-15 there were 4 white 1 black and the rest were Latno! Invasion infestation!

Answer 8

Just another perfect example of why we should send Illegals Home and secure our Borders. Do your Part this November. Vote Against ALL Pro Illegal Candidates. We can't send Illegals HOME until we send there ALLIES in DC Home.

Answer 9

Accept it and move on.

Since Mexicans are now the majority in LA county, might as well learn Spanish, aye?

Answer 10

How does that make you feel? Are you afraid? Are you flabbergasted? Does it make you feel like the walls are caving in on you?

Believe it of not,that doesn't surprise me nor bother me.
