Welfare to kids of illegals in LA County costs $276 million per year

You'll have to excuse me. Between being banned for a while and moving 400 miles across the state of brain death, I haven't been able to keep up with the recent doings of the board.

I am honestly curious as to how a follower of Ms. Rand's philosophy would view the current "illegal situation" in the US. Ms. Rand herself was an immigrant - a fortunate one in that she was a Russian opposed to the then current soviet regime and had the benefit of an education.

She viewed most government as an impediment - "Get the hell out of my way!" It seems to me that the group that would fall into her definition of "parasites" in this instance is the US businessman who hires the migrants illegally and pays no social security, workman's comp, etc that he would he have to pay for a US worker. The illegals don't just walk across the border and immediantly apply for welfare. They WORK at substandard wages, doing jobs that US workers refuse to do.

So why all the ill will toward them?
