<p>Illegal aliens cost Texas hospitals more than $100 million in just a single month, brand new data from the Lone Star State shows.</p>
<p>Texas hospitals are on the hook for a $121.8 million bill incurred by illegal aliens across 31,000 visits in November 2024 alone, according to data collected by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (THHSC).</p>
<p>The findings came after Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed an order directing THHSC to collect and provide quarterly data on the cost of illegal aliens to the state’s hospitals and the number of visits from illegal aliens. The first full year of data from THHSCC will be released in January 2026.</p>
<p>“Many of these illegal immigrants are straining the Texas hospital system, which is why <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/greg-abbott">Governor Abbott</a> directed the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to begin assessing the cost of care,” Abbott Press Secretary Andrew Mahaleris <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-hospitals-hit-122-million-bill-illegal-immigrants-care-single-month">explained</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now, Texas has reliable data on the dramatic financial impact that illegal immigration is having on our hospital system,” Mahaleris noted, also adding that President Donald Trump’s deportation operations “may also cause these healthcare costs to decline.”</p>
<p>The Texas Legislature is currently <a href="https://www.fox26houston.com/news/texas-hospitals-migrants-illegal-costs-nov-2024">considering legislation</a> that would turn Abbott&#8217;s order into a state law requiring hospitals to provide the data to the THHSCC.</p>
<p>One <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-immigration-costs-hospitals-billions-in-unpaid-bills-house-gop-report-finds">2023 report</a> from Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee found that illegal aliens similarly burdened the hospital systems of other states with large illegal alien populations. Florida hospitals incurred a $312 million bill because of illegal aliens in fiscal year 2023 and received just over $100 million in reimbursements. A single hospital in the border town of Yuma, Arizona, provided $26 million in uncompensated care to illegal aliens.</p>
<p>That report estimated that Texas hospitals faced anywhere from $597 million to $717 million in uncompensated health care costs for illegal aliens from 2006 to 2008.</p>
<p>One study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taxpayers-shell-out-151-billion-each-year-due-to-illegal-immigration-analysis-says">estimated</a> that illegal aliens cost the United States a total of $150 billion a year, even when factoring in tax revenue from illegal aliens. The cost of illegal immigration on the United States, FAIR says, has increased by billions of dollars in recent years.</p>
