I disagree here in Texas our Taxes are skyrocketing becuase of - Free Schooling & Free Medical care if you show up at any County Hospital !!!!

Just look at the the numbers in the last four years.
Population, 2004 estimate Texas-22,490,022, USA- 293,655,404,
Population, percent change, April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2004 Texas-7.9%, USA-4.3%.
Population, 2000 Texas-20,851,820, USA-281,421,906

We have about 1-1/2 million new illegals in Texas since April 2000.

I have no doubt that you are paying for the lack of control over our borders. My point is that the long term impact of the Senate bill's significant increase in legal immigration will affect us more than the current impact of illegals already here, presuming we can gain control over our borders.
