Nor do I.

The author, Jose Jimenez, in an obvious sign of empathy, said they pay taxes. Yeah, right.

Firstly, I doubt his window tinting job pays enough to put them above poverty level so they pay ZERO income taxes. Moreover, they're probably like 99.9% of all ILLEGALS and have cost this state more through medical costs and other benefits. Who paid for the birth of their 3 children? Who pays for their schooling? Who pays for their free lunches?

This is one of the most biased stories I've seen the UT run and beleive me, that's saying a lot.
