California has large population, yes. Most blue states pay more into the Federal government than they recieve. I gave the exception of New Mexico. It does indeed* disprove whatever "point" you think you had.
If they pay more into the Federal government than they get back from the federal government they are not using federal money for whatever it is. Again, stop being an idiot.
No one has "documented" illegal immigrants receiving federal funds because it doesnt fucking happen. Again, if you don't want illegal immigrants to get care in emergency rooms, you need to talk to Ronald Reagan and also say "I want illegal immigrants to die in the parking lot than receive emergency care".
If the state generates $100, pays $5 to immigrants, pays the federal government $40, and gets from the federal government $15, no they didnt launder money.
Stop being a stupid fucking idiot and understand your claims have no mathematical or genuine reality.
Imagine the federal government has a piggy bank for sick people, and the rule is: only people with legal papers can get money from it. California wants to give healthcare to people without papers anyway. So California does a trick. They take their own state money and pay the hospital bills for those people. Then they go to the federal piggy bank and say, âHey, we spent this money on healthcare â give us some back.â
The federal government says, âWait, you spent it on people who arenât allowed to use this money.â And California says, âBut we used our own money first, so itâs fine.â
Thatâs the loophole. The state spends its own cash on people the federal rules exclude, then asks the feds to reimburse them as if the money went to eligible people. The feds are now saying that doesnât count â you canât sneak around the rule by swapping whose wallet pays first.
Itâs like borrowing your friendâs lunch money, buying candy for someone who isnât allowed candy, then asking your friend to pay you back because âtechnically it was your money.â
Again, math. If California generates $100 from taxes and uses $5 to pay to immigrants, they used their tax money to do that. If they then pay $40 into the federal government, and recieve $15 from the federal government, they lost money to the federal government. The federal government did not pay or reimburse in any way the initial $5 California paid to immigrants. The $15 of money from the federal government is still part of the $100 of state taxes, returned by the federal government.
Your claim is bullshit because a 2nd grader could do arithmetic better than you. The math is not there. Your federal tax dollars do not pay for illegal immigrants.

California clearly has a higher population than a lot of other states. It doesnât disprove my point.
Itâs been documented multiple times that illegal aliens are receiving government funds tied to federal money.
