I don't feel like looking up stats for illegals, but here are some stats that might help. They are from census.gov.

California
Individuals below poverty level: 13.1%
Total population: 36,457,549
Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 13,074,155 or 35.9%

Texas
Individuals below poverty level: 16.9% (That's a pretty big percentage increase IMO over California)
Total population: 23,507,783 (much lower than California)
Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 8,385,118 or 35.7% (about the same percentage wise)

The thing is, though, that we can't equate the number of LEGAL Hispanics to the number of illegal ones there are. I just was throwing those numbers out there just for shits and giggles. The 3% increase in poverty level is what I find interesting, though.
