Texas Illegal Immigrant Problem

There is a huge number of illegal immigrants in the state of Texas. This large influx is due to tougher laws to curb illegal immigration in Oklahoma and Arizona.

The Oklahoma statute, which took effect in November, makes it a crime to transport, harbor or hire illegal immigrants. Effective Jan. 1, the Arizona law suspends the business license of employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers. On a second offense, the license is revoked.

If Texas enacted tougher laws, I am sure they would see illegal immigrants fleeing Texas.
