  • Mcallen Economic Profile 2019
    McAllen Economic Profile 2019 The City of McAllen economic scan presented here is intended to provide an overview and comparison of both temporal and point-in-time socio-economic data to assist City of McAllen leaders. Objective data is an important component of making sound public policy decisions. Prior to undertaking the economic scan, the McAllen Chamber of Com- merce compiled and analyzed data from both public and proprietary sources in order to identify trends in the city that have a significant impact on Hidalgo County’s economy. The resulting data was used to conduct a SWOT analysis, which character- ized the County’s strengths; weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) in economic development. In some cases, the economic scan builds on previous data from the SWOT analysis. The general layout of the economic scan is to provide information in a written and graphical format that can be updated by county and EDC staff in the future as new publicly available data is released. The economic scan provides an overview of data important to broadly defined economic development planning, but it cannot capture every indicator or level of detail for all data sections. General observations and notes on the measures provided are included within the economic scan. TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1. McAllen Overview 2. Population 3. Economic Factors 4. Retail Trade 5.

  • The Mier Expedition
    The Mier Expedition Shooting the Decimated Texians. On March 25, 1843, seventeen prisoners were executed at Hacienda del Salado as punishment for the Texans' escape from the hacienda six weeks earlier. Historians have traditionally portrayed the Mier Expedition as a glorious, but disastrous episode during the days of the Republic of Texas. To the average citizen, this march on Mexico was payback for two raids in which Mexican troops invaded the old Republic and briefly occupied San Antonio—the second time with tragic results. To gain an appreciation for the Mier Expedition, it is important to understand these larger events. See how The Handbook of Texas Online (in this dark red font) summarizes the two Mexican invasions and the “Dawson Massacre” that distinguished the second invasion. What follows below are two interpretations of the Mier Expedition. The first one (in this blue font) represents a summary of traditional accounts. The basic source was the journal Thomas Jefferson Green, a member of the expedition. The second version (in this green font), stripped of its cultural bias, draws from recorded statements and reports filed with the Texas and Mexican governments as well as from letters and other primary sources. For further study. Following the second account (in this violet font) are excerpts from Sam W. Haynes’ introduction to a recent reissue of Green’s journal. Haynes is professor of history at the University of Texas at Arlington, and author of Soldiers of Misfortune: The Somervell and Mier Expeditions (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1990). MEXICAN INVASIONS OF 1842. Because of Mexico's refusal to recognize the independence of Texas after the Treaties of Velasco, the republic was in constant fear of a Mexican invasion.

  • The Spectacle of Drug Violence: American Public Discourse, Media, and Border Enforcement in the Texas-Tamaulipas Border Region During Drug-War Times
    NORTEAMÉRICA, Year 7, Issue 2, July-December, 2012 Recibido: 06/01/2012 Aceptado: 17/04/2012 The Spectacle of Drug Violence: American Public Discourse, Media, and Border Enforcement in the Texas-Tamaulipas Border Region During Drug-War Times GUADALUPE CORREA-CABRERA* ABSTRACT This article explains how mass media and U.S. political rhetoric have created a “spec tacle” of border violence as an offshoot of Mexico’s drug war. The study shows how some U.S. politicians and government officials have promoted their political agendas by communicating an alarmist view of the drug war within Mexico that includes a spillover of violence into the United States and narco-terrorism, which allegedly re present enormous risks to U.S. national security. The cre- ation of this spectacle has had a real impact on specific policy areas, particularly on border security and immigration. This analysis focuses mainly on the Texas-Tamaulipas border region. Key words: drug violence, Texas-Tamaulipas border, American public discourse, mass media, spectacle, spillover violence, narco-terrorism, border security, U.S. immigration policy. RESUMEN Este artículo explica cómo los medios masivos de comunicación y la retórica política en Estados Unidos han creado un “espectáculo” de la violencia fronteriza como resultado de la guerra contra las drogas que libra México. El estudio muestra cómo algunos políticos y funcionarios del gobier- no han promovido sus agendas políticas presentando una visión alarmista de la guerra contra las drogas en México, que incluye el desborde de la violencia hacia Estados Unidos y el narcoterro- rismo lo cual, aseguran, representa enormes riesgos para la seguridad nacional del país vecino.
