From the El Paso Times: Since 1997, the Juárez mayor-elect and his wife have received tax relief on a home in El Paso because they declared it their primary residence. But they said Tuesday they have always lived in Juárez.
Héctor Murguía won Sunday's mayoral race for the second time in Juárez.
Murguía said he and his wife both live in Juárez and have "vacation homes" in El Paso, Ruidoso and Mexico City. The current mayor, José Reyes Ferriz, has denied accusations that he lives in El Paso to shield his family from the drug cartel violence....The Texas homestead exemption provides tax relief and protects property from creditors' claims. Property owners can have only their main residence homesteaded

While this is a Texas issue, this is also happens around the country. Whether it is an illegal tax break here, welfare there, crime everywhere it seems like illegals and other residents from Mexico and other countries just want to suck at the trough of taxpaying citizens.
Just let the U.S. citizens commit the fraud, the crime and suck off the social services teats.
