“If Obama wins, it’s too late for secession.
Obama will instantly declare “Administrative Amnesty” for illegal immigrants.
And Texas will instantly become a “Blue State.””
Step back for a moment and think about what you’ve just said.
You’ve acknowledged that there is a huge number of Hispanic illegals in Texas NOW. Of course, they can’t vote today.
But the fact that they are there dooms Texas to “become a Blue State” by default. Obama doesn’t have to declare an amnesty, it’s going to happen anyway.
What’s the birthrate of Hispanics and illegals in Texas, vis-a-vis the birthrate for the “gringos”? Who’s having the lion’s share of babies?
The inescapable reality is that Hispanic illegals in Texas (and everywhere else) are going to “self-legalize” in 15-20 years, even if amnesty never happens. Because each and every baby that the illegal women bear on American soil is an American citizen.
No, they can’t vote today.
But wait eighteen years.
What’s going to happen to Texas’ political demographics 20-30 years from now?
So have some kids. The means justifies the end.
Odd how some folks get all ‘consent of the governed’ until those nasty brown people get the vote. Then they are all about doing something drastic.
Re: “What’s going to happen to Texas’ political demographics 20-30 years from now?”
You’re an optimist.
I’ve been predicting that Texas will vote for the Democrat presidential nominee in 2020, eight years from now.
The GOP leadership, and most mainstream Conservative publications, will never acknowledge that 80% of new immigrant citizens vote for the Democrat Party.
If American Conservatism is not destroyed in the short term by our insane immigration policy, it will be destroyed in the long term - as you point out - by political demography.
