MEXIFORNIA....
WHY IS LA RAZA FUNDING THE CLINTONS AND JOHN “McAMNESTY” MCCAIN??????
Along with JOHN EDWARDS, BARACK OBAMA.... buying the illegals’ illegal votes. Obama was not bothered when he came to Los Angeles to kiss Mexican ass while Mexican gangs are murdering Blacks! Google Mexican gangs and Los Angeles!
Welfare for illegals in sanctuary County of Los Angeles is nearly 40 million PER MONTH!
1 in 5 births in Los Angeles are from illegals, “anchor babies”, paid for by legal Americans. 1 in 10 the rest of the country, but that figure is dated. The Mexican invasion is now in all 50 states!
95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

Sandra Andrade lay in her hospital bed, overcome with anxiety about her newborn son.
All through her pregnancy, she had worried. The placenta was blocking her birth canal and growing into other organs. She knew she needed a Cesarean: If she went into labor, she might bleed to death.
Now her boy was in intensive care at Women's and Children's Hospital at Los Angeles County USC Medical Center. With his future -- and her own recovery -- on her mind, Andrade, 36, was relieved to be spared at least one worry: Who would pay for their care.
She'd been without private insurance since the premiums became too costly. But a friend assured her that, even as an illegal immigrant from Colombia, she would qualify for Medi-Cal, the state and federal health insurance program for the poor.
Andrade, a clothing exporter, is one of more than 100,000 undocumented women each year who bear children in California with expenses paid by Medi-Cal, according to state reports. They now account for about one in five births.
Regardless of their parents' status, the children are American citizens by law.
Many illegal immigrants who might otherwise shy away from government services view care associated with childbirth as something they can safely seek, a protected right.
"I wasn't afraid at all," said Andrade, who came to the United States with her daughters on a tourist visa and stayed here with her boyfriend after it expired. "I'd always heard that pregnant women are treated well here."
California long has been one of the more generous states in offering such benefits, covering everything from pregnancy tests to postpartum checkups for impoverished illegal immigrants.
'Birthright' citizenship
Such births and associated expenses account for more than $400 million of the nearly $1 billion that the program spends each year on healthcare for illegal immigrants in California, documents and reports show. Only about a dozen other states extend similar benefits to illegal immigrants, according to health and immigrant rights groups.
Although it has not so far figured prominently in the national discussion of immigration reform, a debate is simmering about the costs -- and the rights -- of illegal immigrants' American-born children.
SOCIAL SERVICES FOR ILLEGAL PREGNANT WOMEN THAT GET OVER THE BORDER TO GIVE BIRTH.
Some advocates for immigration control want to abolish automatic or "birthright" citizenship for babies born to undocumented women in the United States. They consider it just the first in an unacceptably long line of public benefits flowing to children who were born here only because their mothers broke the law.
"I think most Americans think that -- while they certainly don't want to do anything to harm children -- you cannot have a policy that says anybody in the world come here and have a baby and we have a new American," said Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation of American Immigration Reform, an immigration control group based in Washington, D.C.
