find out the 300,000 undocumented immigrants in Texas contribute $5 billion a year in taxes to the great Lone Star state!

But wait there’s more! When Dan Patrick lowers your property taxes and the Austin boys pass school vouchers and the State has lost $5 billion a year - what’s going to happen to your taxes? What’s going to happen to your town’s revenue? Hmmmm?

About 40% of the Texas construction industry is comprised of undocumented individuals. Texas cannot produce enough construction workers to sustain its massive growth without these workers.

But illegal aliens dontcha know? 😂
