California Gets 81.4% of All Federal Funding for Illegal Immigrants
2026-06-12
[CaliforniaGlobe] And one-third of California’s state budget is made up of federal funding

A new federal report released Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families reveals that California gets 80% of the federal funding for Illegal Immigrant Families.

More than $617 million in taxpayer-funded cash welfare went to California households headed by illegal immigrant parents last year.

In 2024, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families basic assistance was provided to more than 85,000 child-only households headed by a parent excluded from the assistance unit because of immigration status, and California was the primary driver of the national total, accounting for about 59,600 households and about $617.5 million, or roughly 81% of nationwide spending on these cases.

The next-largest states were significantly smaller. New York ranked second at about 7,635 households and about $47.5 million in annual cash assistance, followed by Massachusetts at about 3,777 households and about $27.3 million, and Washington at about 1,796 households and about $12.2 million.

WHY GAVIN NEWSOM IS LOSING HIS MIND OVER FEDERAL FUNDING CUTS
According to the California and Budget Policy Center, almost 4 in 5 federal dollars that are projected to flow through California’s state budget in 2025-26 — $136.6 billion — support vital health and human services (HHS) for millions of Californians, including children, seniors, and families with low incomes.

And one-third of California’s state budget is made up of federal funding. The enacted state budget for 2025-26 includes almost $175 billion in federal funds. This is over one-third (35.2%) of the total state budget.

Is this more California fraud that needs Trump administration scrutiny and prosecution?
