Immigration Policy
The United States more than any other country welcomes in its arms more immigrants and Texas, than any other state, lets in more foreign and domestic migrants. It’s almost half of all the newly arrived migrants residing in the mentioned state are born foreign.

Texas immigration has been considered as both a consequence and a cause of fast state growth.
