Foreign Born population in DFW Metro in 2007

Seems like a big figure for North Texas, especially when compare to a place like San Antonio, which I had assumed would have had a larger foreign-born population.

I acquired figures from the Texas Education Agency and the US Census, and my findings (with charts, of course) are after the jump.
