Illegal immigrants in Maryland and Virginia make more money than illegal immigrants nationwide, but their incomes are substantially lower than those of native residents of those states, and they are much less likely to have health insurance, a report says.
The study, released today by the Center for Immigration Studies, estimates that there are 11.3 million undocumented immigrants in the country. In Maryland, the 268,000 illegal immigrants are 5 percent of the state's population; in Virginia, they account for 3 percent of residents, with 259,000. The study used U.S. Census Bureau data from this year."
Here in MD we just had an insane tax increase, one which included $600M in expenditures to supply health insurance those who have none.I'll be keeping watch to note whether or not the illegals will be getting any of that. My sense is that they will, MD politics being what it is.
