An investigation by the KHOU News team in Houston has revealed that a number of illegal aliens incarcerated are receiving prescribed sex hormone at taxpayers’ expense.
In 2009, Jose Centeno was jailed by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement detained after discovering a previous felony drug conviction. While he was detained, ICE prescribed and dispensed the hormone drug Premarin to the transgendered man.
Centeno, who now goes by the name “Krystal,” told KHOU: “I'm transgender so I am taking female hormones. It's not a choice, I was born, and I already knew I was born, in the wrong body, so it wasn't a choice -- I need those meds/hormone therapy to be who I am, but it's not a choice.”
ICE states that they do not keep accurate records on the number of transgendered detainees receiving hormone therapy…in other words, they will not tell us how much we spend every years on hormone therapy for criminal aliens.
However, some checking found that COSTO sells 100 tablets of Premarin (1.25 mg) for a price of $177.01, or $1.77 per pill.
Based on Costco’s price and a twice a day dosage, the transgender illegal alien costs the taxpayers an additional $637 for a six-month detention for their hormone therapy.
ICE reports that they are currently working on an official policy for transgendered detainees.

Arrrrrggggggg! Every time I think the government that is supposed to be working for American Citizens (it's certainly our taxes that pay for all this stuff) - when I think they can't possibly get any stupider, they come up with something that proves me wrong.
I think hard working citizens need to move to one large state; secede from the union and leave these stupid politicians to try to run the rest of the country with the remaining bleeding hearts and parasites. Just try to run a government with no money when all the working population is gone.
Well, it was a nice fantasy while it lasted.
You know what would solve the problem? if we let him out so that he could work a job no American wants. Then he would pay taxes through Social Security, Medicare, and Sales tax. We would actually make money of him. What do you think?
Go take your meds and watch the Squeelers lose some more games Witt the Twit.
First round bye baby! We're going to the big dance!
Secretary Napalitano figures if it's good enough for her, it's good enough for illegal invaders!
