Per capita annual income for all Texas counties bordering Mexico-where most of the colonias are located-tends to be much lower than the state average of $16,717. In border counties such as Starr, Maverick and Hidalgo, per capita annual incomes in 1994 were $5,559, $7,631 and $8,899, respectively.

Here's some common sense for you --- when massive immigration leads to an economy where the average income is $6000 (even less) to $8000 a year per family --- welfare rates and food stamp rates are extremely high. These people need to go back and fix their country.
