"Texas ranked only behind Florida and California"

So, you finally admit Californias better, ey?

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?

Apparently most of the interstate migration was from the South.

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".

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.

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

How perceptive. I said that!

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?

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

Combusted? Don't you mean...er...damn. But combusted isn't right; that would mean they bursted into fire in Texas--likely as it is considering the weather, it's not how they got those people.

Oh and by the way, we were talking about interstate migration, as in I requested data on most new people were from outside the state but still in the United States. If you knew that, then shame on you for making a cheap joke; if you didn't, well, now you do.

Find me data on how many Texans voluntarily go elsewhere. I don't care where. Just leave out retirees.
Hell, you like retirees, so include them.

And if you want to get technical, your source says that Texas gained 3.8 million people, 1.4 million of which were from interstate migration...doesn't sound like "most" to me, unless you had 1.2 million babies and 1.2 million Mexicans--unlikely, to say the least.

Sorry, I used the term "Mexicans" to describe immigration to Texas that was NOT from the other states.

If that's not the part you were having trouble with:

Texas gained 3.8 million people.

1.4 million of these people were from other states. Oh ****. It says since 1995 for interstate immigration, but 1990 for the total 3.8 million. ****. Well, maybe I can note it was majorly tied into a booming economy. Can someone else help me? I know I'm not the only liberal reading this thread.



(But Source also says it shows a 17.1% increase from the previous Census. If it's from 1995 since, then what Census was it from? What data are they comparing it to? Argh!)

	Tired of ads?

But remember, just because someone moves there doesn't mean it's a good state. For example, one study said 50% of all adults aged 18 to 30 or something smoke, but does that make it good?

(However, since you threadjacked I guess that means you accept the initial thread idea that Texas needed some checks and balances against an almighty Republican machine? )

Okay, I'll admit, Texas has more new interstate immigration than most other states.

But what the Hell does it have to do with crooked Republicans?

Oh, and by the way, the initial new spin ("spin" seems to be a favorite word amongst you conservatives) was Sloww's copout about how Texas was "different". (Brought up the flags.)

Then Corpus started the troll-turned-threadjack about how Texas immigration is.

No Republican has yet to answer the initial question of Texas being corrupt.
