Don’t jump the gun, here. Mexican-Americans are not politically monolithic. There are many who are not just conservative, but very conservative. Though they vote Republican, they won’t join the party because they think it too liberal.

As a group, they also have better than average political acumen, because in Mexico of not-too-long-ago, supporting the wrong faction could get you killed on the spot.

That being said, from their perspective, what the two parties offer that they, the Mexican-Americans, are interested in, is pragmatic to what they want and need. And they have little desire to back a phony.

So what will you get from a “brown Texas?” The liberal cities will stay liberal, and the rest of the state, white or Mexican-American, will vote the way it does right now.

Utter BS!!!!

This is predicated upon the fact that the person is in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance. Anyone who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t American at all. We have room but for one flag, the American Flag. We have room for but one language here and that is the English language. We have room for but one sole loyalty and that is loyalty to the American people. (Teddy Roosevelt, 1907)
