Texas lawmakers struck hard at illegal immigrants Monday

Are they? And why would there be no point in legally addressing them considering the burden the place on the school districts?

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

Then it should be addressed locally or the state gov't should compensate the relevant school districts. Denying illegal immigrants in Austin or Dallas or Houston public education because of the activities of a handful of daily border crossers is absurd.

Let's talk about Social Security, also.
Why is it being held out of paychecks still? Do you not find it ridiculous?
I'm already disgusted about it, and can only imagine a 19 year old entering the work force and having it withheld.
Of course, that's based on the assumption that THEY HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD.

"Almost everyone has family on the south side, and that has made people quite passive about the issue," he added.
The locals don't seem to mind very much. If they want more comprehensive residency checks, they should get it done. It's not a problem for state or national gov't's.

Dunno what your complaint is. Illegal immigrants are paying for our retirement.

Do they?
"One community? That's just not true!" gun shop proprietor Lynn Kartchner told Reuters as he sat shooting the breeze with customers in his store just off the main strip.
"The fact is I can't go south to Mexico and get public services, so how is that fair?" he added.
I love picking random quotes from articles and thinking they prove something.

Because of what I quoted: the locals don't want to push for strong residency checks.

And according to what I quoted they do. Now can we get a real answer to the question about why a state issue isn't a state problem?

No one suggested giving illegal immigrants social security benefits. In the Senate plan, they have to become legal residents or citizens first.

No, they don't. They clearly did not push for strong residency checks. Hence the problem. At the ballot box through their representative gov't, the locals have made it clear that they don't mind.
