Illegal aliens cost Texas hospitals more than $100 million in just a single month, brand new data from the Lone Star State shows.
Texas hospitals are on the hook for a $121.8 million bill incurred by illegal aliens across 31,000 visits in November 2024 alone, according to data collected by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (THHSC).
The findings came after Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed an order directing THHSC to collect and provide quarterly data on the cost of illegal aliens to the state’s hospitals and the number of visits from illegal aliens. The first full year of data from THHSCC will be released in January 2026.
“Many of these illegal immigrants are straining the Texas hospital system, which is why Governor Abbott directed the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to begin assessing the cost of care,” Abbott Press Secretary Andrew Mahaleris explained.
“Now, Texas has reliable data on the dramatic financial impact that illegal immigration is having on our hospital system,” Mahaleris noted, also adding that President Donald Trump’s deportation operations “may also cause these healthcare costs to decline.”

Start arresting illegals at hospitals.
Send the bill to the new Mexican Queen. They are her “people”.
Many years ago southern California had to close ER’s and change hospital purposes because of illegal aliens walking out without paying.
Most of these new non-”slave labor” illegal aliens brought their extended families with them to enjoy the “American Dream” since it was easy to get in. Joe Pedo’s border patrol piggybacked them across the Rio Grande. Mama, Papa, and all the tios and tias came along. The Walmarts are crawling with them. I noticed yesterday that it appears they get their government shopping money on the same day as all the other government “civil servants.”
It was an act of the Judicial Branch of Government that forced this issue and Texas and every other State shyould ATTACCH THE INCOME, TIPS, WAGES AND ASSETS of EVERY member of the Judicial Branch to PAY THESE BILLS. YES, EVERY LAWYER
Illegal aliens in hospitals should have their medical condition stabilized and then be deported.
And this is why having a baby at a hospital is a six-figure ordeal
Send the ills to the Judicial Branch of the Government! Make them pay for their idiocy.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Forcing us to pay for our replacements’ healthcare so they can be healthy and make babies that will replace us.
Yup—a large part of the “cost of healthcare” crisis is an illegal alien crisis in disguise.
↑ This!
It's one of the few things I disagree with Reagan over.
California would get them enrolled in welfare starting with free prenatal care and labor and delivery services along with the full range of free welfare and housing benefits.
A lot of these illegal alien households are still on welfare to this day in California
BTTT
A reminder that illegal labor is cheap labor and power for the elites because it is subsidized by working class Americans.
