From the article:
Texas, the second-hardest-hit state after California, would lose 1.2 million undocumented workers and $220.7 billion in expenditures.
By the author's calculations then, each illegal immigrant in Texas is generating $183,333 in expenditures.
What a steaming pile of BS.

What a steaming pile of BS. Pile, I would say it is approaching several super tanker boat loads.

My calculator came up with a slightly higher number, but bump that for sure.

LOL. Leftists can't even bother to strive for plausibility most of the time when they toss out their propaganda. As a lifelong citizen of the great USA I am still looking to land the kind of job which would allow me to spew out annual expenditures on that level..... but I'm pretty certain that illegals are probably averaging a lot closer to $30K per year, maybe a bit more, and nowhere near $180K.
Besides, any jobs that are held by illegals can be filled by LEGAL immigrants if we really cannot find anyone already legally here to fill them.
