My Opinion of Texas

The People

• Many people are of Mexican descent. Many of
  these people search for jobs as a construction
  workers, gardeners, and maids. Texas is like a

  decent. Native Americans were the first to live
  on Texas. Many people join the rodeo (where they
  ride on bulls and horses).

  activities, gangs, and drugs.
