Hispanic families are nothing new. They have been living here for generations along with other ethnicities since Texas was founded.

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!

That’s what many people don’t know about Texas. These people were called Texans, Texicans, and other names but they were here since the days before Texas independence.
When my ancestors came to Texas from Tennessee these people were LONG established and had lived under Spanish, French, and Mexican tyranny. My people were the immigrants. When Texas fought and won its independence from Mexico they were among the first citizens of the Republic of Texas.
No, the illegals aliens are never going to turn Texas blue enough to reunite us with Mexico. True Texans are proud of their state and its history. We are also proud Americans. But Texas is a nation state and many believe we could survive on our own again if that became necessary to maintain our independence and way of life.
Again, thanks for your input and G_D bless Texas!
