I do too but basically in deep S. Texas, they regularly (let’s say every election cycle) vote Democrat, so it doesn’t matter if they’re against abortion and some other bedrock issues (not so sure about being anti-illegal alien either), they still support (by their votes) the Democrat platform and agenda.

Take a trip to McAllen, TX one day and just cruise the “Valley”, you’ll see how much like Mexico it has become, and that includes the politics. Politics determine our way of life, it’s not just a game as we are finding out.

When did I last visit? Two days ago visiting family and friends. Narrow demographic? Try 80:20 (Hisp/Anglo) all while we lived in the Valley) now I believe it’s higher, that would be a good study.

Before the ad campaign against California Proposition 187 denying illegal aliens government services (other than emergency medical care and primary education), the majority of registered Hispanics surveyed actually supported it. As it was, the best estimates I saw were that 20-30% actually voted for it.

I suspect it is similar to what happens as a colonizing Islamic population starts to grow to critical levels.
