DFW International reports that 44 percent of North Texans were either born in another country or are children of parents born in another country.
I don’t believe it. But I don’t have the facts or the time to find the facts to contradict it. So click the link, and you decide for yourself.
Top countries of origin represented in Dallas-Fort Worth are Mexico (natch) at 1,000,000 (even if I don’t believe the 44 percent, that estimate seems low), El Salvador and India at 100,000, Vietnam at 80,000, China at 60, 000, Pakistan and Korea at 50,000. Poland — who knew? — comes in at 40,500.

Really? Not a single Western European country has over 100 people here?
I find that hard to believe.
I echo Richard. I don’t believe these numbers are scientific or believable. No western European countries. So, no French, Germans, or British ppl in Dallas? Odd, since I know at least 3 people who fit that category.
Also, Burma came in at 2,000. I would guess its way more than that. Heart House Dallas’ after-school program is largely filled with Burmese refugees. I would guess there are more than 2k Burmese in DFW.
