Though the Texas' economy has diversified in recent decades, the state's abundant oil and gas resources remain a valuable asset - especially when prices for those commodities are high - that most other states lack. Even if it were possible for other states to replicate these features, the fact that so many Texans have failed to benefit from them - with poverty, low-wage jobs and lack of health insurance all above the national average - makes Texas a less-than-desirable model to
In Texas Got It Right, Sam and Andrew Wyly explore why more businesses and citizens are migrating to the state of Texas.

When I travel outside of Texas, whether it is another state in the United States or a different country, I enjoy responding to the question “where are you from?” I never fail to respond with a large smile and pride in my voice as I say, with a forced Texan accent “born and raised in Texas”. Majority of Texans are proud of their state, myself included. Every Texan loves saying the phrase “Everything is bigger in Texas”, and considering that Texas is a very large state, the second largest in the United States at 268,581 miles, it is an appropriate saying. I never really paid attention to the economy in Texas, and it was very intriguing learning about the progression of the Texas economy and its changes in the past. Since the Great Recession Texas has created more jobs than
Throughout history, America has been referred to as the Melting Pot of the world. When I consider all that the University of Texas at Austin stands for, I recognize that the University of Texas is the Melting Pot of universities. It is a place with vision and heart; where diversity is celebrated and possibilities are infinite. There is no greater compliment and I hope I can contribute to the legacy of the University of Texas at Austin.

There were several extremely fascinating aspects regarding the history of Texas found in Passionate Nation's pages 195-219 and Major Problems in Texas History's pages 146-150 and 162-167. One of the most salient of these was the fact that Texas was its own independent nation. This fact was fairly startling for a number of different reasons. One of these is the fact that the United States allowed another nation to be created within its borders. This is something rarely done in history, and probably never done again in the history of the United States.
Between 1940 and 2010 the population of Texas nearly quadrupled in number, increasing at almost twice the rate of the entire United States during the same time. The booming oil and high-tech industries created during these years resulted in mass immigration to the state.

Many citizens have moved to states like Texas and California because they see it as a place of opportunities to find careers or raise families.

For years to decades’ immigrations has been an issue and maybe in some way a solution to big business gain. Is a real way to fix it or find a balance? It has been and will always be an ongoing subject with politics to come. Since the 1800s Texas borders has had a large population of undocumented immigrants. Though in the current century it does not have the high population with undocumented immigrant now, it is a targeted border for migration.
