International Migration to Texas Cities

Thanks, Tom, for the reference to www.frey-demographer.org. Just looking through some of the materials there I found these bits that refer to us in Texas:

  • Texas had 1.4 million more foreign-born residents in 2000 that we did in 1990.
  • From 95 to 2000, Harris County lost 114,892 residents to other places in the US, but gained 181,509 from international immigration.
  • Similarly, Dallas County lost 89,724 "domestic migrants" but gained 137,081 international immigrants.
  • The larger areas of the Dallas-Fort Worth CSMA and the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria CSMA, gained 231,494 and 214,268 immigrants from abroad respectively during that time.

I believe this is all pointing to the fact that there are more and more ethne coming to our cities.
