    WASHINGTON — Half of the nearly 3.5 million immigrants living in Texas are in the country illegally, the Center for Immigration Studies says in a report being released today.

    Based on the latest Census Bureau data, the report said Texas has one of the fastest-growing immigrant populations of any state. It said that 50 percent of the state's foreign-born population — slightly more than 1.7 million people — are illegal immigrants. Only Arizona at 65 percent, North Carolina at 58 percent and Georgia at 53 percent had a higher proportion of illegal immigrants in their immigrant populations.

    I can't think of a more deserving state to house all these illegals than the one with the most overblown sense of importance, Texas.

    Let them over run the place, the obnoxious citizens of that state deserve nothing more than to have their precious "everything is bigger in Texas" slogan include their population of illegal immigrants.

    Every thing is bigger in TX, including the amount of BS coming from the residents and the illegal population. I agree with Ronno, how fitting and there is no shock from this news.
