City-boys out in the stix, sounds about like what they'd say.
I can't imagine there being more crime in El Paso than Houston.
Houston's criminals drive Tuners, El Paso's drive trucks. :>)
Houston is okay if you can handle pinetrees, hurricanes and humidity and
pavement. El Paso is the opposite.

The actual figures according to census are:
1990 2000
Hispanic 70% 73%
White/non-Hispanic 26% 22%
Other 5% 5%
The numbers may be a bit misleading due to local culture, as in
El Paso, folks with white/hispanic mixed background will be
far more likely to declare themselves as hispanic than as white.
Dual language helps, but most of the hispanics speak better
english than the average texas aggie....but not a longhorn
of course.

And if you get stuck, just toss a rope over the next mosquito
that passes by and get a free towout.
Nothing wrong with Houston other than the heat and the
humidity.

Re: OT texas help
Sounds like the second largest Mexican speaking city, Los Angeles,
if the seventy three percent are also illegal aligns.
