I am a domestic migrant to Houston, moving from Iowa in 1998 to accept a job. Houston is often misunderstood. It is further east and south than many people assume. We are a major seaport city and immigrants have come through the Port of Houston for generations. We have one of the largest medical centers in the world. We are growing in population at a rate of about a million people per decade.
