AZ: 108 million spent for births to illegal aliens in 2009? Steve Smith, R-Maricopa, said 14,400 babies were born to illegal aliens in Arizona in 2009, and he implied that the government spent $108 million to pay for the births. FAIR states there's no way to verify that figure, but statistics show there were about 14,000 babies covered by AHCCCS through a federal program, which does not differentiate between illegal aliens and legal immigrants.
