Well considering 40% of Texas is hispanic, including myself, it's not really about the color of your skin. That incident was because syrian refugees cause a lot of trouble all over Europe and we don't want them here.

You don't want them here. Don't presume to speak for the rest of the state.

You're right, I had to google it.

Apparently only 51% of the state said they would disapprove of accepting Syrian refugees into Texas even with a security clearance process in place

Ugh. That's just disgusting, and something to be ashamed of.
So that doesn't change my statement at all. The friendliness and welcoming largely depends on the color of your skin.

Not really. Doubtless a few have, but most of them are regular people who have lost everything trying to escape from a war zone.
