An article in this morning's Fort Worth Star-Telegram said that the birth to death ratio for non-hispanics in Texas 1.3, that is, there are 1.3 births for every death. When you look at the hispanic population, the ratio is 8. There are 8 births for every death. Combine that with illegal immigration from Mexico and migration from California because of better jobs environment, and TX is not too far from going back to Mexico. Our population increased over 20% in the last decade. All of the other states with a greater percentage growth were in the west - Arizona, Utah and Idaho. If we don't get our borders under control, this will spread north and east and the rest of you will have many more Mexican food choices. :crazy:

the one thing I find despicable about this--

Cruising down south congress in Austin there is an elementary school near the out skirts. I've driven past it several times. Each time it had something on its marquee/sign. You know the standard PTA meeting, school event info. Every time it was written in only Spanish.


This is a travesty for an elementary school in the state capitol of our nation's largest state to be purely Mexican speaking

I agree. There is a large shopping mall about 5 miles from my house that has found itself in the middle of high density Hispanic residents. I have watched that mall and its stores and signs gradually shift to Hispanic oriented wares. Now all signs are in Spanish, including the biggest, brightest Las Vegas style video sign in town that sits on the main north/south freeway. Need a Mariachi Band? Drive by that bright sign and you will find out where to get one. The speed with which this transition has happened is mind numbing to someone who has lived here for decades. I think it's a sign of things to come.
