 Cost to Texas

  Texas spends over
$4.7 billion
every year on illegal immigrants

  • Education: $4 billion
  • Medical care: $520 million
  • Incarceration: $150 million

    This number does NOT include:

     

    • $3.2 billion a year in money transferred out of Texas to foreign countries, primarily Latin America, that does not generate an impact or sales tax benefits
    • $937 million a year for displacement costs because of unemployment caused by illegal immigrant workers.
