A new report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), provided exclusively to Breitbart News, shows that Texans are footing a massive financial bill because of illegal aliens in the state.
After a brief hiatus that coincided with the worst of the economic recession, Texass illegal alien population is on the rise again, the opening paragraph of the report reads. There are about 1,810,000 illegal aliens residing in Texas 70,000 more than resided in the state in 2010 when we estimated the fiscal burden at nearly $8.9 billion annually.
Specifically, in 2013 alone, FAIR estimates Texans were on the hook for $12.1 billion because of illegal immigration in the state. That amounts to more than $1,197 for every Texas household headed by a native-born or naturalized U.S. citizen, FAIR wrote. The taxes paid by illegal aliens estimated at $1.27 billion per year do not come close to paying for those outlays, but we include an estimate of revenue from sales taxes, property taxes, alcohol taxes, and cigarette taxes.
A breakdown of the costs shows that illegal aliens in Texas are accessing a wide variety of public services they are not supposed to have access to, placing a burden on taxpayers throughout the state. For instance, FAIR found that annually the estimated 195,000 illegal alien students and 481,000 U.S.-born children of illegal aliens place an $8.5 billion burden on taxpayers for their education costs. Many of those students require special needs help with the English language, too, driving the cost even higher for Texas taxpayers....

I think they have never forgiven Sam Houston. This is how they are sticking it to him.
“I live in North Central Texas, above D/FW. At least 80% of my community is Latino.”
And the federal government is engaging in a massive eminent domain fraud by seizing the property of private citizens, (your earnings/tax dollars, e.g. your PRIVATE property), by transferring same to people with NO legal claim to your property, by virtue of their putting the states in a straight jacket and deferring all immigration enforcement decisions to the feds.
It is criminal and treasonous.
By community I mean the neighborhood I live in. The area is probably 25-30% Latino, not 80%.
I am sure that is true, but my point is still the same. They have never accepted the fact that Texas is not part of Mexico anymore, along with New Mexico, Arizona and California, and they want it back.
BTW, it is almost 4PM Friday afternoon here, and it is hotter than blazes.
Are they living in the homes of legal Texans?.......
Working at jobs owned by legal Texans?
Voting in legal Texan elections?...
bringing habits and corrupt culture from the snake pit they left..
smelling politically of the political latrine(Mexico) they are proud of?...
With not a smidgeon of intent to become an American..
and learn of what a real country should look like?..
I think these are conservative numbers that can be verified. The real actual numbers are probably much much higher
Texas problem is that you have a GOP governor and a GOP state legislature that supports Illegal Alien Amnesty...and has given Illegal Aliens in state college tuition
Wrong. Read Fast Food Nation. The author writes how corporations fired legal butchers in favor of slave-workers who are untrained (and not union), work for a quarter of a legal citizen, and never complain when they lose digits and other parts because they are elbow-to-elbow. Each cuts one area on the carcass. Not being properly schooled, the odds for contamination from cutting into innards that should be avoided is high.

Although I don’t know from where your information comes, if one just took the 25% number of legal/illegal immigrants on face value, that’s 25% of say 300 million - 75 million.
What IF half of the immigrants are illegal? What if 1/3 are?
I’d say the supposed 12 million number is off by at least a factor of 2.
Are There Really Jobs Americans Wont Do?
if one just took the 25% number of legal/illegal immigrants on face value, thats 25% of say 300 million - 75 million.
I don't understand your premise. According to USG figures, we have around 45 million foreign-born in this country with about 11 or 12 million being here illegally.
Id say the supposed 12 million number is off by at least a factor of 2.
I agree the number is probably larger. And those numbers will grow once an amnesty looks possible. Prior to the 1986 amnesty, we had a flood of illegals entering the country to take advantage of it.
Nice info.
Frankly, this government under Obama can’t be trusted to tell you the truth in anything. That includes Census date, government agency data, etc. They simply lie.
Yeah maybe there are 600 million people in this country.
Reductio ad absurdum isn’t a real comeback.
I analyzed California's budget a couple of years ago.
My conclusion? Their budget deficit matched to a 'T' statewide estimates of the cost of services to ILLEGALs.
Hospitals alone in CA absorb over $1 Billion in services to ILLEGALs. Who's surprised other border states aren't in the same pickle with Progs in every one of them and the Feds extorting States based on their policies vs. Federal $$? This won't make the evening news though.
What's the government going to do about it?
"Amnesty"
I'm 'shocked' (dripping /s again. Sorry...in a mood today)
If you're illegal and reading this, go the hell home or pony up to pay the piper and get off my back: Obamacare was crafted for YOU, not I. If you're the child of a so-called 'immigrant' that didn't come here legally, go yell at your parents, not me.
Health centers do not, as a matter of routine practice, ask about or collect data on citizenship or other matters not related to the treatment needs of the patients seeking health services at the center, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Spokeswoman Judy Andrews said. (HRSA is a part of HHS)
I trust the Census Bureau data including the ten year census and the annual American Community Surveys. I don’t accept your premise that everything is just lies.
