How safe is Texas for Immigrants? So far I heard, Texas is the heaven for extreme repunlicans who hate non-whites. I have even heard that Texas is the land of gun lobbies and right wingers.
I know there are many Nepalese in Texas. How are they coping with those people in Texas? Please shed some light on this.

Thanks

Why would you even care what people would think about guns, whether there are Republics. etc. I, as a non-immigrant, wouldn't care who is in the government or what type of policy they have, unless it directly impacts me like say immigration and tax. I think its a good state to stay given everything is so cheap and there is a large Nepalese community in almost every city.

Thari tharika nepali chhau hami us ma. "Texas marubhumi ho", "texas ma chor fataha matrai baschhan", "student haru sabai fataha hun", "student haru DV or green card wala dekhepachhi aafna gf/bf lai chhodera pachhi lagchhan", "Green card wala lai biha garna saath volipaltai student ko green card aaucha", "student haru sabai dukha garera basya hunchhan, almost sabai jaso out of status hunchhan".

Yestai dherai asumption liyera basne manchhe ni maile vetey/suney.
Aile samma 8/10 wata state ma basne maile ni mauka pako chhu, republican ra democrat, gun rules malai kei thaha chhaina, but ma sabai bhanda dherai texas basey, texas ka 5 different city ma basda white, black, hispanic sabai khale society ma basiyo. Kohi banduk tersyaudai aayena kerey.
Long term ma ajhai pani texas move huney plan chha miley samma.
Rajnaitik pristhabhumi herera decide garne ho bhane ta hami pani griha yuddha ma 20000 manchhe mareko desh bata aayeka hou bhanne nabirsey hunchha.
Mero aafno bichar ho, dherai lai chitta nabujhla, but mero bas ma bhaye ma chai bholi nai texas move hune thiye, sasto, no snow, lot of nepalease and indian community, lot of choices for indian/nepali resturants and groceries, no state tax for employees, pachhi bau aama lyaune plan bhaye bau aama lai company diney aru sathika bau aama ni chhyaschhyasti chan.
For me, texas is better place to live in US. But mero bichar sabai lai chitta bujhchha bhanne chhaina.
Peace. :)

Thank you Tesko_Baje. Very nice presentation. I am impressed.

tesko_baje ko reply dherai logical chha and I agree with the response.

you have not said where you live, I do not know micky_mouse if you already live in the US or not, but if you do not know much about Texas then let me tell you.

1. First thing first . never make any presumption about anything without getting the facts.
Yes there are conservative people in Texas who live in small towns who hate non whites. Matter of fact not only in Texas, there are several small towns nation wide where there are predominantly white people living there and they "stare" if they see a non-white out of town person in their town and may not treat you with a friendly face. From my opinion and experience, I have lived in 14 different US States including Dallas,Texas. and I have been to around 10 cities and small towns in Texas. So, if you are an immigrant and migrating with your family, you do not want to migrate to a small town. The best place would be a suburb from a big city. In this case, suburb or Dallas, such as Hurst, grapevine,south lake might be good choices. I used to live in South Lake which was safe. They are safer neighborhoods and near to lots of jobs and places.

2. If you live in Texas you will need a car. So if you want to commute in a public transportation like NY or Boston, Texas is not a good choice.

3. As Tesko_baje said, extremely rare snowfall, extremely hot in summer 100+ Degree F, big desi community so good for your immigrant parents.

4. Property is cheaper than big cities like LA or chicago or NY. and No Income tax and you get more land for less money.

5. You will see lots of Nepali Students living in Texas near to colleges because colleges are affordable in Texas.
Anything anyone tell you bad about students, they are wrong. I once was an international student so I know the struggle so I salute to all my fellow students who are here in US.

6. if you want to live in a very happening place, city living, then live in downtown Dallas or Houston or San Antonio. Living in downtown is less safer than suburbs so be aware of that.

7. If you wanna live near to good beaches, you might wanna live in Orange county, California. Texas sadly doesnt have really good beaches.

8. Other big cities are far from Texas so consider where your other relatives are. If your relatives are in East or West coast dont live in Texas, it will be very far to travel.

Basically, it depends on what type of lifestyle you want. and what can you afford? Do you want the same type of weather that you are used to like back in Nepal ? or you want to explore new place? Do you like snow ? or do you like hear? do you like quiet or do you like happening? It all depends on what type of life you want.

Sorry for writing so long :) If you ask me, Texas is a really nice place if you want to settle in and do not want to spend too much money. I highly recommend this for immigrant family. Its good place for your parents, good job market and you can afford to take more vacations if you live in Texas.

Why people are so allergic to guns, this country gave you the right to bear arm. Use it responsibly and enjoy it.

i really impressed of this great . i always try to read many article on law and need to more and more information ,and other is i want to say that as a non-immigrant, wouldn't care who is in the government or what type of policy they have, unless it directly impacts me like say immigration and tax. I think its a good state to stay given everything is so cheap and there is a large Nepalese community in almost every city.

After coming from a racist Nepali society, I don't see Texans that bad. They are emotional. Some of them are racist, but if they know that you are a hardworking person, they appreciate your hard work. I don't blame Texans for their extreme core belief. They have been misled. They are changing. Just my personal opinion.
