Wait... Do they include illegal immigrants when they do that kind of researches?

I can understand the criminality numbers, but not the ones about education. 

Yes, they do.

I am not so sure on Texas' stats - I will search for them - but I know in California we rank dead last in education when we used to rank top 3 (maybe even number one for a while). Here's a source from 2005: http://www.rand.org/news/press/2005/01/03.html

Well, I only did a very quick read, but all I saw was:

"California's large immigrant population means the state has an abundance of students learning to speak English and parents who do not speak English. The 2000 Census showed that 5.8 percent of California school-aged children had trouble speaking English, compared with a national average of 2.5 percent."

which doesn't mention any illegals immigrants.
