Do you have a list or source for Dallas?

I want to compare the two and how similar their immigration numbers are.

Default Hmmmm....

And people question why all the fuss about anchor babies born in Texas. These numbers answer that question. Just imagine... if those here illegally are granted asylum, they will bring the rest of the family, so we're not just talking 10-20 million, multiply that times 4, or more. Of course, they will not all target Texas, but we'd get the first waves.

Ya it would be just like when Reagan did amnesty in the 80s and 50 million people from Mexico moved to Houston.

Reagan gave amnesty to Salvadorans due to the civil war that was started with US involvement. That forced many Salvadorans to flee north
