You are correct about the illegales. But the following generations will aspire to the same goals and morals that most of the other immigrant populations did in earlier times.

My point about the Silcon Valley area is that the econmy there is still quite depressed. The are lots of former six-figure software folks now selling shoes at Sears these days, and they are not happy about it. It is an area, geographically, that can swing back to the Republicans.

I like your opptomism. One day I picture a Republican map like the one in 1984.....landslides by the dozen.
