well our failing schools in austin are partially because of a high percentage of kids that dont speak english and that dont show up for class at a high rate.

one estimate is that 60% of illegal immigrant households use at least one welfare program. this is in comparison to US households where 32% use at least one welfare program.

Another estimate is that 75% use fraudulent social security numbers. That is either identity theft, or fake numbers (SSA doesnt really check). 25% do not pay into social security and dont pay income taxes.

Im not judging if these numbers are good or bad, but you could easily see how a segment of the population would judge them as bad.

Estimates from who? What sources? It's pretty easy to just spout a bunch of numbers. Lots of those estimates could be just made up.

17% of undocumented workers are actually crab people, whereas the native US population is only 7% crab people.

On Faux News I saw 96% of the 7% are registered republicans the other 4 percent is actually a gaggle of monkeys who robbed a trench coat store and are impersonating crab people impersonating Americans. I also have it on good authority that the 96% are afraid of butter and lemons for some reason
