Plenty of people have already attacked the Texas growth myth, but this report from the Center for Immigration Studies really stings.
The non-partisan group found that newly-arrived immigrants claimed 81% of state job growth from 2007 to 2011. What's worse, half of those immigrants were illegal -- representing 40% of state growth.
Obviously this won't go over well on the Perry campaign.
