"Houston runs about 10, 15 years ahead of Texas, 30 years ahead of the U.S., in terms of ethnic diversity and immigration flows," Emerson says. "So it is fundamentally transformed in a way that all of America shall transform."
I hope so, I'd hate for California to be our future.
Hispanics will be in the majority in 15 years...

Texas, like California, Florida and elsewhere, has an expanding middle-and-upper-income Hispanic population – college educated professionals, business executives, entrepreneurs, politicians, professors, doctors, lawyers – that exerts considerable influence in development, commerce and culture. San Antonio, with its rich Mexican-American history, has been at the vanguard of Hispanic influence in the state. It was the first major American city to elect a Hispanic mayor (Henry Cisneros, 30 years ago) and its mayor today, Julian Castro, a Democrat, is seen as a future national political figure.
If Texas is America's future then I'm becoming an expat! Not everyone by any means is moving there. I was stationed there twice and disliked it immensely both times finding the prevalent attitude of the people to be, "If you ain't Texan, you ain't!" No thanks. I'll stay right where I am, thank you. But in partial defense of Texas, better there (some parts only) than in California from whence I originally came.
Do we really want Texas as our future? The low wage, dog eat dog mentality is our future? Yuck

In the past 12 months, Texas has added 274,700 new jobs—that’s 12% of all jobs added nationwide and 51,000 more than California added. … In fact, from 2002 to 2011, with 8% of the U.S. population, Texas created nearly one-third of the country’s highest-paying jobs.
