    I moved to Rio Grande City during my senior year in high school which does suck especially during the last year. I thought I wasn't going to have any friends but ended up with twice the friends than in my hometown. I still think about the RGV from time to time.

    beautiful video. Keep doing this. Unfortunately, mass racist media most of the time portrays only the bad things about Mexican Americans or Mexicans, despite the fact that we commit fewer crimes than the average American, we tend to create businesses, we have the lowest mass shooting rate, we don't racially discriminate against people, we are hard-working, generous, and proud to be both Mexican and American.

    All my years growing up as a white guy in Austin, the white folks from the Rio Grande Valley were no different from most of the white folks from the rest of Texas. They didn’t speak Spanish, spoke in a Texas accent, and had same mindset as any other suburban white Texan, even though they only made up 10-15% of the population. Dallas Cowboys legend Tom Landry was from Mission, my elementary school principal was as well even though his roots were from San Saba Co., my mom’s SWT friend from Weslaco, and my native Austinite high school math teacher lived in Mercedes for years.

    If there is one thing (or many, who knows) that prevents people from moving to the RGV, it is the language barrier. You simply cannot be a young American and move into this place like this without speaking Spanish. We are not talking about tourism or elderly homes. As I said earlier, there is simply no hope or future without knowing the language. No job prospects, the business meetings are done in Spanish, perhaps everything is done in Spanish with the exception of medical emergency services. RGV likes to brag about being bilingual, but that seems like an unachievable goal even with minimum standards are set. The only people for sure that are fully bilingual are police, fire, elected officials, and civil servants. The rest of the population ranges from nothing to something that resemblances conversational skills but still a poor relation to their native language. Perhaps it is a no surprise to anybody that every Hispanic person in the Valley is a native Spanish speaker, without exception. By the way, don't get confused with bilinguals signs or audio messages in English. Clearly these people are obeying the law; that's all. So there you have it. Please respond if anyone has any.
