Report: Illegal Migrants Cost Texas Hospitals More Than $1 Billion in 2025

[Hollie]

In Texas alone, in one year, free healthcare for illegals cost taxpayers more than $ 1 Billion dollars. All the free stuff democrats promised their new imported voting class isn’t so free after all.

While leftists screech about the cost of healthcare, they are doing everything they can to increase those costs.

Report: Illegal Migrants Cost Texas Hospitals More Than $1 Billion in 2025

Data from Texas has found that illegal migrants have cost the state's hospitals more than one billion dollars in 2025.

The data comes from the requirements implemented after an order was signed in August 2024 by Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. In the state’s first report of its kind the HHSC found that nearly $122 million was spent on illegals in November 2024, but that estimate was deemed low since the reporting was just ramping up at the time. The HHSC reported that people who were “not legally present” in the United States utilized hospitals in the Lone Star State more than 31,000 time during that month.

I wonder how much of the $1 billion was for Anchor Babies.

TIS doesn't care--he's a Canadian and he's already in the over-taxed for wealth redistribution category and misery loves company.

No amount is too much for Dems to steal from taxpayers.

The Democrats are thieves

Illegal immigrants pay about 100 billion in taxes. 4.7 billion of that money is paid to Texas.

So if the story from the OP had been true, Texas would still gain at least 3.7 billion more in taxes paid by to them from illegal immigrants than they cost.

So, if your cut and paste had been true, show us the tax receipts that Texas received from your illegals. Show us the reimbursements to the Texas hospitals.

I’m sure you will endorse reparations for Texas taxpayers, right?

Illegal immigrants are a net fiscal drain, meaning they receive more in government services than

they pay in taxes. This result is not due to laziness or fraud. Illegal immigrants actually have

high rates of work, and they do pay some taxes, including income and payroll taxes. The

fundamental reason that illegal immigrants are a net drain is that they have a low average

education level, which results in low average earnings and tax payments. It also means a large

share qualify for welfare programs, often receiving benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born

children. Like their less-educated and low-income U.S.-born counterparts, the tax payments of

illegal immigrants do not come close to covering the cost they create.

We have had hospitals close in Arizona for the same reason. Our emergency rooms are stuffed with illegals with nothing more than a hangnail while people with real emergencies wait in lines. Hospitals don't even waste their time billing these people anymore. It's not just medical. It's in law enforcement. What if a drunk hit and run driver was followed and police found his car under a tarp in his backyard? Arrested, jailed, charged, thousands in fines and time in prison. But add no insurance or driver license and illegal you walk as free as a bird with the damage done left for the other drivers to deal with.
