Having lived my teenage years 70 miles from the Mexican border, I will tell you that there are folks down in that area who may be able to hold a conversation in broken English, but good luck if they can read at more than a little kid's level in English. However, they are Americans and Texans, and they deserve proper notice just like everyone who can speak and read English properly. I'm not going into what the responsibilities of our education system are or are not, just telling you what I remember, and that is likely still true.
