I don't pretend to know much about return on capital and stuff like that, but I find it hard to believe that for every $1 in services the cost, the illegals boost the economy of Texas by $19. Particularly since they aren't typically in great-paying jobs anyway.
I'm more than willing to be shown where I'm wrong...nicely.
I am well aware of the fact that the immigrants pay taxes. But I trust Nothing that comes out of Strayhorn's office.
