You don't think that Democrats, with affirmative action, offer Hispanics goodies the Republicans won't? Or as more illegals drive down the wages for those Hispanics already in the country, that the Democrats' social programs will not become more and more appealing?

Just like the poor white people who make up the majority of welfare and social programs.... damn shame... damn shame... and now in Texas they appearantley have a large minority white population... what will they do?

You help make my point for me. AS wages are driven down whites will also have a reason to look to the government teat. However, the problem is more pronounced for immigrants and blacks as they tend to have a larger proportion of non-skilled labor than whites and face more competition from the ever continuing flow of illegals. There's a reason that a third of Hispanics opposed benefits to illegals in California.

That is because what you are referring to as whites are still around 70-73% of the population here. Proportionately, minorities are considerably more likely to be on the dole than non-hispanic whites.
