How many billions has illegal immigration cost Texans, Senator?

 

Wrong question. How many billions has Mexican Free trade BENEFITTED Texans.

And the answer is $100 Billion.

"The answer however, is not imposing tariffs against Mexico," Cruz said, noting that his state's businesses import over $100 billion in goods each year - and enjoy a trade surplus back with the Mexicans.

American citizens pay a $134,000,000,000 TAX every year to support this invasion. When does OUR bottom line count!

Those are OLD STATS from 2017! Imagine what we’re being taxed for the hordes in 2019! That’s just the money.
Lives, crime, human trafficking, drugs, noise, polution.

That’s idiotic.

That same $100 billion could be produced in Texas, meaning all taxes would stay local.

That $100 billion coming into Texas is actually mostly flowing out of Texas to the rest of the country, including avocados, cars, and such. Texas doesn’t alone eat or use all those cars or avocados.

Why doesn’t Stupid Cruz and his GOPE stand up to Mexico on their animus toward the US in a similar way?

We should never trumpet as “good” anything that substitutes for our own ability in house to do the same. Parents do not exist to nurse other people’s families to success over their own, and if they fully neglected their own, the kids would be taken away.

You are for bad parenting examples on a national level.
