Immigrants costing Texas billions each year.
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Immigrants cost Texas
$4.6 billion more than they paid in taxes
for education, health care and other pub
lic assistance in 1992, a Rice University
economist said Wednesday.
Illegal immigrants accounted for less
than a quarter of the cost, professor Don
ald Huddle estimates in a study examin
ing the economic impact of just under 2
million immigrants to Texas since 1970.
Huddle's study, financed by a non
profit population-control group, projects
Texas will spend $66.8 billion on immi
grants in the decade ending in 2002.
Unless immigration laws are changed,
Texas will gain another 920,000 legal im
migrants and 340,000 illegals by 2002,
Huddle contends.
The Texas study is a follow-up to a na
tional study he issued last year pegging
immigration costs nationwide at $42.5
billion in 1992. That review sparked heat
ed debate among immigration experts,
some of whom claim Huddle's analysis
relied on faulty methodology and inaccu
rate assumptions.
"These methods are flawed," said Ur
ban Institute demographer Jeff Passel,
who reviewed Huddle's national study
and disagrees with its findings.
"They tend to greatly underestimate
revenues and tend to overestimate costs
and overestimate negative impacts and
ignore any positive indirect impacts,"
Passel said Tuesday.
Passel and others have argued Huddle
doesn't take into account any jobs creat
ed by immigrants for native-born citi
zens.
"He includes nothing in this for any
positive impact of immigrants through
either increased employment or the mul
tiplier effect of the money they spend,"
Passel said.
Huddle admitted those factors weren't
considered, but stressed his study was
confined to immigrants' effect on the
public sector. He also said there are no
reliable indicators for some of the more
positive effects of immigration.
Huddle acknowledged the study
would be controversial, but denied try
ing to incite sentiment against foreigners.
"I'm as humane a person as any
body," he said. "There are going to be
fear-mongers out there and I realize that
and I think people have to combat that
study say
fear."
After Huddle's national stuck
considerable attention last year,4
ban Institute reviewed his figurci
came out with its own analysisprojn
legal and illegal immigrants returr
billion more to society than they cos;
