But even so, what is Texas going to do with the liberals who are already there?

They have always been here - this state was a Democrat state for many years. Austin being where the capital is, was saturated with Democrats running the state. Those old family Democrats in Austin pretty much set it up for their children and grandchildren and their children to stay there and keep the family Democrat honor going.

Eventually, more conservative people got tired of the freaking Democrats and the Republican Party began to grow. What we have left of Democrats are in smaller counties that still remain Democrat at the county level, then they vote Republican for state and national offices. Habits die hard in small counties where the Democrat Party kept a strangle hold on those small counties. When Obama became president, those small county people questioned why they were supposed to vote for a black man and those counties started changing. That is just the way it was - color did matter in these small counties with lots of older people. They won't admit to that if questioned, but I know it happened. Hussein helped those counties turn more Republican.

I have seen this state change from Democrat to Republican because I'm really old and lived through it. I would point to Reagan as the one person who turned the final tide from Democrat to Republican in this state. Then, the Bushes sealed it. When George Bush was governor that is when every state office turned Republican and we have kept it that way since then.

That is my sense of its political history and yours may vary and I won't argue about it.

They can implement policy that will make the takers self deport to places like California. For example, welfare-queen reform, goverment-cronyism reform.

Fodder for the cannons. We will keep them in the urban areas where we can watch them. They are not cut out for life away from the malls and air conditioning.
