Texas is a great refuge right now, but the demographics are going to cause a problem there without action on immigration.
We need to get the borders closed.
Precisely the reason that we aren’t retiring in my home state of Texas. Too many derned mexicans. (cue the “that’s racist” animation)
It’s pretty sad when you need to know spanish to get a job, as was the case with my daughter who is attending college in Texas. She actually had to come here to NY, get hired by Penny’s and then transfer. True story.
I just watched the Gangland show on History about the Tango Bravo gang in Houston and it sounds like they have a problem there. It’s another hispanic gang, btw. I moved from San Antonio four years ago and I wouldn’t mind going back now that I’m married, but I’m also not sure that I’d want to raise our kids in south Texas with the demographic shift that is taking place. (crime, culture reasons).
