Rent in the Midland Odessa area is ALREADY outrageous. Landlords here think that everyone works in the oil field, therefore they can charge exorbitant amounts for the monthly rent because clearly, everyone who lives here should be able to afford it. WRONG. Everyone here CAN'T work in the oil field because then who's going to work at our area gas stations, restaurants, banks, doctors and dentist offices, malls and stores you name it? Cities cannot function without a diverse workforce in every facet of life. We need people scattered all over the career spectrum to make an area functional. If everyone is working in oil, then there's nowhere to buy food or gas or do pretty much anything else. So STOP making it unaffordable to live here!!!!!

MIDLAND, Texas U.S. Representative August Pfluger s office was alerted that more migrant kids would be coming to Midland. However, there is a twist this time. The kids will be boys and girls and between the ages of 5 and 12.
Local officials are not happy about the situation. Midland Mayor Patrick Payton said that Midland has been disrespected again with the news coming seemingly out of nowhere.
