A post from May 2007: Thank you Mexicans!

A post from May 2007:

Texas is booming. Texas is the second largest economy in the US. We are grateful that Mexicans are spending their money here:

"According to the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau, Mexican tourists spend an average of $96 a day in the Bayou City and nearly half of the 1.8 million Mexicans who travel to Texas for leisure and business every year stop in Houston." (The Woodlands is a hot spot for wealthy Mexicans)

Of course, that's only Houston. My guess is that there are big numbers for Dallas or San Antonio.

I like this:

"Wealthy Mexican shoppers spend as much as $1,000 at the store, he said, and "everything that's the latest — that's what they go for."

Thank you Mexicans. Thank you for paying taxes in Texas!
