It sucks that the due process required by our system is so easily exploited by the guilty, but rarely accessible to the innocent.

New: A 2006 study found undocumented immigrants contributed more to Texas than they cost the state. The state hasn’t updated the analysis since.
But a series of reports released by nonprofits and universities since then have reached similar conclusions.

A 2006 study found undocumented immigrants contribute more than they cost Texas. The state hasn’t updated it since.
A comptroller’s report found that deporting the estimated 1.4 million undocumented immigrants living in Texas in 2005 would have cost the state about $17.7 billion in gross domestic product.

Trump has vowed to “drain the swamp” in DC. However he has appointed lobbyists or his cronies to key positions in government. This will not serve the interests of the broader public but corporate insiders.
