As someone who grew up in San Antonio, I can tell you that it is low wage central. There is no boom there....not for the working class. And the illegals absolutely put a drain on the health care system. An undocumented illegal shows up at the hospital and needs $30,000 surgery. They get it, and the 'system' foots the bill. They walk away owing NOTHING, since they claim to be 'indigent'. Meanwhile, many of the nurses (those who can't afford health insurance) would be billed for the same operation if THEY needed it and forced to pay; When they can't they will be harassed by collectors, sued, etc. What a deal!
