Just wait until SpaceX gets here, though. Then we'll show them a thing or two, right?

"All Naco City" is our new name . Inhabitants are referred to as "Nacos"; according to the new census.
firat the poorest and now one of the dumbest cities in America.
But were still an All American City
go figure...
lets wait for the most corrupt cities list
Wait a minute didn't we buy an award claiming us as "The All American City"? Say it ain't so
If only Zeke would move. We wouldn't make the list.
You realize no one takes you seriously . ....give it a rest and get a new line.
This is total bullshit. Brownsville is number one. There is not way Beaumont is stupider than Nacoville. We have 43% illiteracy rate.

All this cities have one thing in common, with only a couple of exceptions. They are full of Meskins!!!
You can't beleave everything you read. To bad brownsville can't read.
Hahahah from students, to politicians both human species are very much the same. Students don't follow schools rules, and politicians do the same both humans later complain and ask for forgiveness. Another day, another triumph for those little babies that are corrupted.
Brownsville has A LOT of medical doctors (everywhere you turn there are specialists to treat the elderly and those on welfare), people in the hospitals, the school district and the banks need to have at least a B.A. to have at least a fairly good salary for this area. Brownsville DOES NOT have the maquiladoras that Matamoros has so therefore engineers or architects either work independently or work at the good paying administrative maquila jobs on the other side of the border. BISD is losing the "bright minds" to schools such as IDEA or Harmony Science Academy or Med High. When these students graduate from high school they go to top universities and end up staying up north or in other states instead of comming home because there is nothing to come home to. TSC is losing students to Kaplan College, South Texas Vocational Technical and other schools that filled the gap left by the old TSC when it became UTB-TSC. Our local politicians spend time fighting over assets that belong to our city (local tax payers), pay large amounts of money to get a little plaque with nothing but words "All American City", instead of bringing to Brownsville a Sony plant, a toyota or any other type of plant. Oh, I forgot, they expect Space X to be the savior of the city and besides, they let Matamoros keep the manufacturing plants.
One of the things I noticed in that list is there are A LOT of cities in California mentioned. Are they just as much "burros" as Brownsville is supposed to be?
"Mal de muchos, consuelo de TONTOS".
The reason fishing, the plastic bag ban and zumba don't matter is because the survey measured education not quality of life.
Finally Brownsville beats mcallen !
If Cameron County's political whore Sylvia Garza Perez moves away, we'll improve by leaps and bounds. If the Hernandezes move away, we'll become the smartest city in the world. Do us a favor, pendejos, move away!
And you can't spell .
Too bad you don't know how to write or spell.
The picture is coming into focus. Browntown is poor, ignorant, corrupt and Naco. But damn we got good Meskin food.
Drop the "naco" and "meskin" bit and maybe people would take you seriously or at least read your posts.....it got old long ago.
HaHa, you're a joke. Juan is on target. You take Juan seriously this is why read his articles. Glad you're in the tip of Texas. Stay down south.
I laughed when I read some comments commenting on literacy, but the anon's typed some words incorrectly. It works better if you type correctly when making fun of people who can't read or write.
Anyway, to the anon that is trying to be proud of Brownsville by typing "every where you look there are medical doctors," talking about IDEA, and etc. You really need to understand how these tests are conducted. For one, Brownsville is a cease pool of medical professionals because we're a cease pool of medicare and medicaid recipients, this is to say there's a lot of money to be made on insurance. You're safe if you have a associates or even a certificate in nursing and the like, but not if you have, say, a bachelors in engineering and science. The test, even counting in the doctors of Brownsville,s still shows that Brownsville has a lower amount of people with degrees than without. Giving your personal verdict on what you see holds no ground.
The only way things will change is if we change our mentality as a people, because if we don't, the resources, what very little we have, will mean nothing. We as a people need to be proud of ourselves and stop belittling our culture and people - i.e Nacoville and Mezican needs to go.
