If the amnesty goes through, regardless of what they want to call it, Texas will be blue in 2014. Dewhurst, Strauss and Patterson - who has already announced he is running for Lt. Gov in 2014 - all strongly behind a huge guest worker program. When no one stepped up to challenge Strauss the fat lady sang.
Houston’s government is solid Democrat, ultra liberal, gay and strongly supports illegals. Texas does have a huge population but most of it is centered in Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas. Just not enough people elsewhere to counter that. And the whole state had serious voter fraud issues in 2012. Wait until all those folks in Houston have to pay taxes for all those new schools they are going to build.
Yeah Texas already has 3.7 million on Medicaid.
All the secession bluster was just bluster.
Not that soon, but probably by 2020.
