J.J. Koch, who has a high chance of becoming the next sole Republican on the Dallas County Commissioners Court, says blame for the county's declining middle class falls in large part on one group: unauthorized immigrants.

They make up roughly 7 percent of the county, according to the Pew Research Center, but Koch believes they have put an outsize burden on public schools, social services and the economy.

A republican in Dallas? Who knew and he is exactly right.

Although I wish Mr. Koch luck...I fear he is fighting an uphill battle in Dallas. I haven't lived there in 35 years  but still work there. The changes in the city are tragic. And I fear irreversible.

Berdie, I wish you were wrong, but you're probably not.
