Immigration law may not shift Texas education costs
A Texas House Research Organization report finds public schools already educate children of illegal aliens, so state education funding should see little change. The act grants temporary status to many here since 1982 and imposes employer sanctions that could alter the Texas workforce and raise costs for industries reliant on illegal labor. Estimates put illegal residents in Texas at about 1 million, with up to 600,000 possibly eligible for temporary residency.
