It's not illegals who make those Texas border counties democrat strongholds.

What proportion of illegals vote, do you suppose?

With "Motor Voter" and many states granting driver's licenses to illegals plus, in some states, same day registration, just how many millions of illegals vote?

And, while I'll agree with your observation on the Texas border counties, legal Hispanics in those counties are more likely to vote Republican than the illegals -- who will vote Democrat virtually unanimously.

Indeed, Corpus Christi now has a Republican Congressman. And some of the other South Texas districts are increasingly competitive. Further, legal Hispanics in Central and North Texas are even more likely to vote Republican.

Finally, it's not really a question of gaining majority support from Hispanic voters for Republicans. Currently, the GOP gets about 30% of the Hispanic vote nationally (which includes a few millions of illegal Hispanics). If we could build that number to just 40%, the Democrats would be hard-pressed to win another national election.

I would submit that 40% is eminently doable -- especially if we can get voter fraud under control.

Census Bureau--A More Diverse Nation

"The non-Hispanic white population is projected to peak in 2024, at 199.6 million, up from 197.8 million in 2012. Unlike other race or ethnic groups, however, its population is projected to slowly decrease, falling by nearly 20.6 million from 2024 to 2060.

Meanwhile, the Hispanic population would more than double, from 53.3 million in 2012 to 128.8 million in 2060. Consequently, by the end of the period, nearly one in three U.S. residents would be Hispanic, up from about one in six today.

The black population is expected to increase from 41.2 million to 61.8 million over the same period. Its share of the total population would rise slightly, from 13.1 percent in 2012 to 14.7 percent in 2060.

The Asian population is projected to more than double, from 15.9 million in 2012 to 34.4 million in 2060, with its share of nation's total population climbing from 5.1 percent to 8.2 percent in the same period.

The U.S. is projected to become a majority-minority nation for the first time in 2043. While the non-Hispanic white population will remain the largest single group, no group will make up a majority.

All in all, minorities, now 37 percent of the U.S. population, are projected to comprise 57 percent of the population in 2060. (Minorities consist of all but the single-race, non-Hispanic white population.) The total minority population would more than double, from 116.2 million to 241.3 million over the period.

40% is still a loser. Demography is destiny.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY!

A change in 15% of their voting pattern would win in most elections.. That is reachable..

Re: “If we could build that number to just 40%, the Democrats would be hard-pressed to win another national election.”

okie, your math is insane.

We are adding 1 million new immigrant citizens each year.

New immigrant citizens vote 80% Democrat.

If Amnesty passes, that will add another 20 million, including chain migration.

And, national Hispanic voter eligibility is currently about 44%.

It will go up each year, until it equals white eligibility, which is around 79%.

If we only get 40% of the Hispanic vote, and the number of Hispanic voters goes up each year, the GOP will be crushed, and WE will never win another election.
