FACTS

Births to those here illegally: Approximately half of all births in Los Angeles County, 65% at Los Angeles County General Hospital, and 70% of all births at San Joaquin General Hospital. Sixty percent of the birth certificates in San Diego County do not have a parent's SSN. Now 10% of all births in the U.S. are to illegal aliens, about 385,000 annually. In California, almost 25% of all births are to illegal aliens, or about 300 births per day, one anchor baby born every five minutes in California.

84 hospitals, 65 emergency rooms and more than 70 acute care hospitals have closed in CA. in the last 10 years. $8.6 billion unreimbursed emergency care costs in 2007.

Most Californians do not know this, and the Democrat controlled Legislature is not going to tell them: Illegal aliens are paid 18 years of welfare checks for the anchor child in a child-only Cal-WORKS case, while federal regulation allows a five year maximum for citizens. (The initiative will prohibit the issuance of this welfare program to illegal aliens.)

Teenage births have risen dramatically along with illegal entry:

From a NY Times Editorial referencing information from the Center for Disease Control:
Hispanic girls have the highest teen birth rate, twice the national average, one-quarter of the girls are mothers by age 20, 50% of those births are illegitimate, for El Salvadorans 73% illegitimacy, Jamaican 86%. The Latino teenage birthrate is the fastest growing segment of the United States population, three times more than white, 1.5 more than black.

Statistics show that teenage pregnancy produces high school dropouts, increases the chances of the offspring dropping out, earning less, using welfare, belonging to a gang, and males who dropout are eight times more likely to be incarcerated. This Third World birth rate puts us on the fast track to unstoppable family breakdown and an exploding, expanding permanent underclass in the United States.  A Latina working on the problem  stated "To say we are in a crisis is an understatement."

Unmarried Hispanic birthrate increasing faster than any other. Nationwide in 1980, 18.8% of Latino births were to unmarried. In California in 2006, 48.2% of the Latino parents giving birth were unmarried. Unmarried teenage births: Mexican, 93 births per 1,000, white 27 per 1K, Asian, 17, black, 65, Italy 6.9, Japan 3.9.

International magnet: Koreans and others fly expectant mothers to give birth in the U.S. Terrorist sympathizers can enter to give birth, many invade through Mexico.  Hundreds of thousands wait around the world with their birth certificates to re-enter the U.S. 21 years later when the child can apply for legal residency for the parents. They are deciding future immigration policy, not Congress or the American people.

Estimates: Approximately one-third of illegal aliens collect some form of welfare. Women Infants and Children program increased 25% from ‘96-‘02. California has 12% of the nation's population but 30% of the welfare recipients.

"California’s Undocumented Latino Immigrants: A report on Access to Health Care Services” pg. 38: 90% of illegal migrants lack non-government medical insurance. One third of the estimated 10 million uninsured children are Latino. (You the taxpayer pay their medical bills while billions in remittances annually are sent to Mexico alone.)

61% of Latino surnamed students do NOT graduate from the Los Angeles Unified School District. California schools have gone from being in the top five in the nation in the 1980's to the bottom five today. California also has the highest percentage of illiterate adults per population of any state in the nation.

The result of low education skills:

• Estimated 40,000 gang members in Los Angeles. Mayor Villaraigosa said on KTLA there are four times as many gang members as police; 44.8% of homicides in LA County are gang related, Latino gangs caused 25% of all homicides in 2000, gang related deaths for ages 15-19 increased 30%.
• Estimated 60% of gangs are illegal aliens. Over 10% of Latin males 20-29 are in the criminal justice system. CA Dept. of Corrections states illegal aliens are over represented in prison, 25% are illegal in LA County system costing $1bil. annually. KTLA recently reported an estimated 400,000 gang members statewide.

The state can help control its borders by stopping the magnets, state benefits. The state does not have the funds to support benefits to those here illegally any longer.
