According to the Census Bureau, Texas is already over 35% Hispanic, and has seen 30% growth in its immigrant population (overwhelmingly from Mexico) in just the last five years. Oregon isn't even in the top 15. Actually the fastest growth in Hispanic populations is in the south--Mississippi, Tennessese and Georgia have all seen their immigrant populations more than double in the last five years. California's has only grown 10% in the same period.
TX has had about a THIRD Hispanics for CENTURIES, but those Hispanics have LITTLE in common with the "new immigrants" (MOST old Tejano families won't "associate" with the "newcomers". fyi, my adopted daughter IS a "newcomer" - she is FROM Mexico & gets her US citizenship papers in about 16 months.)!). we call such people: TEJANOS!
otoh,the LEFT/LEFTIST coast's Hispanics are MOSTLY "illegals", who are GROSSLY under-counted.
and the LEFT coast won't fight for anything. (they don't call it the "land of fruits & nuts" for nothing!)
