TEXAS IS TOAST

It's not good news for Texas in the future as it's Hispanic population explodes. Here are some of the dinero quotes:

"Two of every three Texas children are now non-Anglo and the trend line will become even more pronounced in the future, said Murdock, former U.S. Census Bureau director and now director of the Hobby Center for the Study of Texas at Rice University.
By 2040, only 20 percent of the state's public school enrollment will be Anglo, he said. Last year, non-Hispanic white children made up 33.3 percent of the state's 4.8 million public school enrollment."

This of course is a problem:

"About 6 percent of the state's population is not documented, he said."



But, the problem is not the state going Hispanic. The real problem is:

"The state's future looks bleak assuming the current trend line does not change because education and income levels for Hispanics lag considerably behind Anglos, he said.

Unless the trend line changes, 30 percent of the state's labor force will not have even a high school diploma by 2040, he said. And the average household income will be about $6,500 lower than it was in 2000. That figure is not inflation adjusted so it will be worse than what it sounds.


"It's a terrible situation that you are in. I am worried," Murdock said.
