Want your state to be less of a magnet for illegals? Cut welfare benefits.

Very true. In Texas the able-bodied have the opportunity to make what they can of themselves. They also have the right to starve to death if they are too lazy to work.

We do provide for the disabled and children and for some folks who probably don't really need help. But the able-bodied need not apply for welfare.

Have you been to a welfare office in one of the more southern Texas counties lately? Welfare is high in Texas, but Texas has a different division of where people are living. If you live in Plano --- you might have no idea what Starr or Hidalgo county look like. There are welfare rates over 50% in some Texas counties.
