Now your getting a better picture of Texas Hispanics. Not the propaganda spewed by Battleground Texas that wants you to believe the illegals will overwhelm Texas and turn it blue in the coming years.
Hispanic families are nothing new. They have been living here for generations along with other ethnicities since Texas was founded. They are native born Texans that live, work, and share in the spirit of Texas. Many have successful businesses, professional jobs and skills, and political appointments.
I think most Hispanics do not act, think, and to be honest respect the low information government plantation voters that we see in the major blue cities across America including Texas. Texas has its share of cities and border counties that are pockets of blue, but I think any shift will be toward red rather than blue in the near future, especially if the voter-id law prevails.
And, there have always been illegals in Texas and most have come for the chance to work and better their lives. Those that come for other reasons will not be as happy in Texas as say, California or some other liberal state. We have jobs in Texas and they can work if they have good skills. The rest is up to them. Many will stay and grow roots in Texas and become Texans.
I am proud to be a native born Texan of Celtic decent and I love and respect my fellow Texans of Hispanic and other ethnic backgrounds and shared values. Together we are proud to be living in the greatest state in the greatest nation of the world.
G_D bless Texas!

I like and agree with your comments; however, I will offer one minor change related to the item I pasted above.
Hispanics lived in this area LONG before Texas became a State.
I had maternal US ancestors migrate to the area when Texas was still part of Mexico; in the 1820s. One served as the Anunciamundo (judge) in the territory of Nachogdoches. First, he had to give up his US citizenship and then become a citizen of Mexico. .....After Texas won the war with Mexico and became a Republic, that ancestor chose to become a citizen of the Texas Republic. ........I’m so glad!
Amen! Many Texas Hispanics I know are proud to be Texan and American.
G_D bless Texas! Thanks for the upbeat confirmation ... you made my day.
