Shantytowns Migrate Far North of the Border in Texas Weak County Laws Tied to the Spread of Squalid Developments By Sylvia Moreno Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, August 2, 2004; Page A03 CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. -- Far from the Mexican border and just outside one of Texas's major tourist destinations, with its popular nearby beach and bustling port, a string of shantytowns thrives. Hidden behind acres of tall grain sorghum live some of the area's poorest residents.

Their homes are modest, made of wood or vinyl siding. Some live in shacks made of scrap metal or in dilapidated trailers.
