Republicans in Texas... I think were missing a check or a balance some where

[SlowwHand]

Hell, Mitchell. Stand on a downtown Dallas or Houston street.
Hear all the nasal voices even you could handle.

"Texas ranked only behind Florida and California"

So, you finally admit Californias better, ey?

Let me finish reading it, though...

[Tuberski]

I'm not from Texas..........originally.

ACK!

California was an independent Country for a while too. Of course it was only like six months before we applied and were annexed but still.

LONG LIVE THE BEAR FLAG REPUBLIC!!
:P

[SlowwHand]

Big deal.
You have Cuban refugees, getting to Florida and staying.
Why the hell not? Beats busting their hump for Castro.
And then you have retired folks. Ok. Congrats.
Have them.

California? Same with Asians.
Don't tell me I'm wrong, I was stationed there 4 years. I know.
Which brings up the number of military members who discharge in California, and just stay.




So what was the point again?

[mrmitchell]

Apparently most of the interstate migration was from the South.

Pop Quiz Time
Which is a better hellhole?
A. Mississippi
B. Texas



Besides, we were more of talking about how crooked conservatives were working these new migrants out of their fair vote rather than "Which state's is longer".

[CorpusScorpius]

Slow what branch of service were U in?

[SlowwHand]

USAF

[mrmitchell]

SlowwHand, I meant and the source said that California and Florida were better in INTERSTATE migration. As in, between states. Not as in between Cuba and Florida, or as in between the Far East and California.

[SlowwHand]

As in, retirees to Florida, and military dischargees to California ?

How perceptive. I said that!

[mrmitchell]

You principally noted Asians and Cubans. Military dischargees and retirees was a mere footnote, figuratively speaking.

Oh, and since we're talking about old folks, should I mention that the source said 30% of Texans were baby boomers?

[SlowwHand]

I know what you're doing. You're trying to get me mad enough to reach down through this connection, yank you through the monitor, and kick your ass.
Well I have news for you. You're almost to the point !

[mrmitchell]

So you have a threat instead of an actual return volley? Quite a shame...I'm a n00b at Off-Topic politics and at least I'm trying to continue the discussion.

[Imran Siddiqui]

And oh yeah, just to make sure (I don't have any data on it myself) could you give me a source for that Texas immigration data that says most new people are from outside the state?

Well isn't that obvious? Most new immigrants HAVE to be outside the state... unless you think they spontaneously combusted there .
