Texas Latino scholars will arrive at the University of Texas at San Antonio Downtown Campus this week with various sets of data, none of which say Texas is No. 1. They’ll be drawn specifically to one overarching reality: Texas Latino families, when compared to Latino families in other states, come in about 30th. They already know why: Inequitable public policies now and throughout state history. They also know why this approach can’t persist if Texas expects its economy, its cities and people, its schoolchildren especially, and its businesses, to prosper. Rogelio Saenz, a sociologist and demographer at the UTSA College of Public Policy, repeated the warning all demographers have issued for several decades. “The future of Texas depends on the success of the Latino population.”
