Texas began tracking hospital costs for patients illegally in the US under an executive order by Gov Greg Abbott

Texas hospitals accumulated more than $1 billion in healthcare costs for illegal immigrants during fiscal year 2025, the first year the state began tracking the figures.

The data, compiled by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and obtained by Texas Scorecard, shows hospitals logged 313,742 visits linked to individuals not legally present, with total costs reaching $1.05 billion by the end of the fiscal year.

Texas’ fiscal year runs from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31, but hospitals were only required to begin reporting in November. Based on the reported data, costs averaged about $105 million per month, meaning the true annual total could be significantly higher.

Texas, a border state, reported some of the highest crossing numbers ever recorded under the Biden administration, putting immense pressure on its healthcare system, Andrew Mahaleris, Abbott’s press secretary, told Fox News Digital previously.

It's amazing how liberals work so hard to have this happen.

Sam sad story in Minnesota. Rightfully so, illegal aliens can't get Obamacare, so they go to the local ERs. Two of the inner city hospitals in the Twin Cities are asking for state funding because they're broke.

It is sad. This is what liberals voted for and are willing to riot for.

We have two hospitals very close to each other.  One is for illegals. ER is always packed.
