“Texans are either too dumb or too arrogant to see what has happened to California and not recognize the danger. “
No we are not dumb. but your numbers are wrong. They are too optimistic. ALREADY a MAJORITY of Texas newborns are hispanic. Every urban county is well ovr minority-majority, and the Texas white voters are 10 - 20 years older than that average minority hispanic Texan. It is FAR more hispanic than California was even in 1990s.
A MAJORITY OF TEXANS WILL BE HISPANIC IN A GENERATION. This is not based on some future flood, this is based on the people ALREADY HERE. Even back in 1992, a Democrat politician joke about Pat Buchanan’s concern of mexican coming across the border (phew, that was 20 million migrants ago). She mocked his proposal to build a wall, saying:
“WE ARE ALREADY HERE.”
And so they are.
In 20-30 years, Texas will be a Hispanic majority state, and will be, if ethnic voting trends dont change, a Dem-leaning swing state.
There is only one solution to give GOP ANY HOPE:
- WIN THE HISPANIC VOTE FOR THE GOP. There are glimmers of hope, as Bush and Perry have cracked 40% of this vote.
THAT IS THE REASON FOR WHAT PERRY AND G W BUSH HAVE DONE AND ARE DOING. Texas heritage has a relationship with Mexico and the mexican migrants different from most any other state, with many multi-generation texans of mexican origin and with a large amount of business and other links. And of course the burgeoning population.
The Texas Republican party welcomes hispanic voters, hardworking ‘values’ voters and prolife common sense folks into the fold.
It’s a tightrope, because Texas GOP leaders do ‘hispandering’ and are weak on immigration to not offend the business leaders and hispanic groups, but the grassroots ... do NOT want open borders, help for illegal aliens, etc. Texas lege passed voter ID and Perry signed that, but sanctuary cities bill didnt pass.
You have to realize that you’re talking to people who believe that even the children of illegals the were born in the US should be deported back to their country of origin.
It’s simply not a realistic approach to illegal immigration.
This is all hypothetical stuff of course, but undoubtedly there'd be a surplus of these kids ~ and the makings of a Corps of Janisaries.
Is this what people want? Or, is it time to ship them back home.
