Overwhelming public opinion means something when government governs by the consent of the people. Governor Martinez may want to do that, but try selling it to our Democrat legislators. They are foolish enough to think that they can secure their political success by catering to illegals.

Hispanics I think are much more homogenous than the other groups you mentioned, and most are from Mexico, most less than a full generation, and most are here for one of only two reasons. I think they do act in a lot of ways like a block. And with regards to opinions on a specific issue, I think it is valid to survey demographics. Retailers do it all the time and its a valuable tool.

the group you are referring to are illegals. There are many hispanics that are here legally and they don't fit your description. Many are educated and quite conservative.

It’s been like that here forever.

The group I refer to are both legal and illegal. It’s the skilled, semi skilled and unskilled worker class - and I believe is far larger than the educated class.

Many are quite conservative on some issues even among the worker class, especially on social issues. Many are apolitical as well.

Texas has a voter photo ID law.

I can imagine. Most legal residents and citizens must be tired of being lumped in with illegals. I am sure they would be in favor of this, to separate themselves from the illegals.
