Rodriquez. has to sift through thousands of letters containing welfare checks. unemployment checks. and food stamps. and in the last month there were 13.500 income tax refunds that were all fraudulent. What is happening is that 10 to 15 people are using a mailbox and they are getting Federal Government. American support and they are not American citizens. but they are defrauding the American Government. This problem for the Western States and all the border States is tremendous. and it is costing Americans billions of dollars each year. I think the cost to the California school system alone is S2 billion to $3 billion. Twentytwo percent of the prisoners in our Federal penal system are illegal aliens. and my colleagues and me and our constituents are picking up the costs.
