Some of the facts being checked include:
- Illegal immigrants cause most local crime, crowding prisons.
- Illegal immigrants are taking away jobs.
- Illegal immigrants don't pay taxes.
- Americans spend billions to educate children who are here illegally and crowd our schools.
- Billions of dollars a year are spent on Medicaid for illegal immigrants.
- Illegal immigrants clog hospital emergency rooms and don't pay for services received.
- Illegals are showing up with $3,000 of available food credit on a monthly allowance.
- Illegal immigrants are invading Utah in big numbers. Most are Mexicans. In fact, most Mexicans here are "illegals."

Are you interested in facts or do you want to blindly believe what your talking heads and emails tell you to believe?

You said "Don't call me racist," yet I didn't. Maybe you are.
