'Laura Ingraham is right'
washingtontimes.com ^ | 8/19/18 | Pedro Gonzalez

Posted on 08/20/2018 11:24:08 AM PDT by a little elbow grease

Snip -- To understand why Ms. Ingraham has a point, let’s take a trip to San Diego, California, where you can catch Los Tucanes de Tijuana playing the San Diego County Fair in summer.

Los Tucanes are billed as “global ambassadors of Nortena music and corridos and ballads,” and if you miss them in California, you can probably see one of their shows in Central Park, Dodger Stadium or the Astrodome. They also have a massive following in Texas.

“Somos gente de el cartel de el diablo,” sings frontman Mario Quintero Lara, “les decan a los federales, de inmediato les abran el paso, era mas que se activa la clave, saben bien que si no hacan caso, sus cabezas volaran al aire.” In English, it goes something like this: We are the people of the devil’s cartel, they tell the federales and they let us through, they know what happens if they don’t obey, their heads will fly through the air.

Snip --- If the military is a reflection of the society it serves, as one gang expert says, then Ms. Ingraham is right: Americans should be worried about the “massive demographic shift.” As America imports the culture of Latin America, the sort that has reduced Mexico to lawlessness and Venezuela to a socialist nightmare, then America will continue to increasingly resemble the sending countries of immigrants.

Well, maybe not in the Astrodome.

It’s all about the numbers. Yes, immigration is good, but it’s got to be in numbers that can be assimilated. There are places in East L.A. where you can drive through miles and miles of dense urban development and not find one single person not of Hispanic descent. There’s very little assimilation happening in that situation.

Last time I was at Dodger Stadium, it was still in California. But, a lot of things have changed over the years...

Yes, Pedro, Laura Ingraham is right.

The more people who migrate from their own lawless countries to America, the more their lawlessness will come with them and take hold in America.

Such a profound revelation.

Who comes up with these gems? Any clearing thinking adult would know that instinctively. Surely not our political leaders in Washington DC.

Apparently there are not an abundance of these clear-thinking adults in the leadership of the EU and the European countries who are being overwhelmed by hordes of middle eastern migrants who bring a whole different attitude of entitlement and violent destructive behavior to their "new" societies and cultures.

Why some people, especially our leaders, don't seem to grasp the damage to their societies this overwhelming influx of non-assimilating migrants will have is beyond me.

Umm, duh.

We’ve been saying that for the last 35 years as the Invasion continued.

California USED to be rabidly Right Wing. Now it’s just another narcoterrorist state run by seedy guys from Latin America who work nonstop to abolish the any laws the gringos ever made: Kevin De Leon single handedly overturning ALL of Prop 187, voted in by the people of California in 1994, and overturned by one federal judge and...Kevin De Leon, the son of two illegal aliens, and he claims to be an “American”.

The Fall of Texas and the One Party State

Link: https://wilderwealthywise.com/the-fall-of-texas-and-the-coming-one-party-state/

When I was a lad, I stumbled upon the book “The Ayes of Texas,” by Daniel da Cruz. In it, the wealthy Texas entrepreneur, who lives in Texas, funds work on the Battleship Texas (BB-35) to make it seaworthy again in time for Independence Day, 2000.

Alas, the sneaky USSR proposes a treaty to the United States: put your weapons up, and we’ll put ours up after you put yours up. And, led by East Coast leftists, we fell for it. Except for the Texans, who vote to secede from the Union, and fight it out alone against the USSR. Oh, and our entrepreneur, has secretly outfitted the Texas (BB-35) with nuclear reactors and particle beam weapons.

It’s a good yarn (it has the Battleship Texas surfing on a tsunami of liquid fire), and you can get a cheap copy on Amazon.

And it does, I think, highlight the lynchpin that Texas is in modern politics, and not the one where the Soviet Union is still a thing.

My consideration of this started in the hot tub. The hot tub is great – we sit and either relax quietly, or engage in conversation. And it was just this sort of conversation a few weeks ago about the Civil War (Civil War, Cool Maps, Censorship, and is Fort Sumter . . . Happening Now?) that led to The Boy saying:

“It all comes down to Texas.”

I was interested. “What do you mean?”

“Well,” he began, “From what I’ve read, Texas today looks a lot like California in 1980 or so. Look what California looked like then, it was prosperous. It was wealthy. It was a beacon for the country. Everyone wanted to move there.”

I remembered. Heck, I remembered one time when a family stopped at our house when I was young asking for a cup of flour so they could make gravy at a campsite. They were making their way from Oklahoma to California. California was a place where your economic dreams could come true.

“Now, that’s Texas. The economy is great there. They’re reliably Republican, and with that, there are all of the low tax, low government interference policies that lead to prosperity. People are streaming into Texas.

“And that’s the problem. The people streaming into Texas, well, they aren’t Texan. Over 300,000 Californians have made their way to Texas over the last five years, and the trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down. They’re fleeing the highest poverty state in the nation, which coincidentally has the greatest wealth inequality in the nation.”

I responded: “Yeah, California is regulations-happy. I read that it was against the law for a homeowner to change a light switch – it had to be done by a licensed electrician. And one time I was talking to a friend on the phone a few years ago. His dog started barking. He was afraid he’d get fined again. Because dogs barking in California is . . . illegal. Sadly, when the Californians leave to go to another state, they want to bring those regulations with them, not realizing that those regulations were the cause of the economic problems they have now. Heck, Californians can’t figure out that their restrictions on housing cause house prices to go crazy faster than Elon Musk with a few minutes to kill and a connection to Twitter®.”

The Boy responded. “California used to be solidly Republican. At some point in the near future, a Republican might not even be on the ballot. Did you know that Ronald Reagan was governor there?”

It’s amusing when 18 year olds begin to discover the world.

“Yeah, now that you remind me of that, I remember it.” I smiled

“Well, California voted solidly Republican, at least until 1992. From then on, it became a lock for the Democrats. And it happened quickly – within a decade. Once Texas flips to voting Democrat, it’s over.”

Once it flips? Will it flip? The percentages voting Republican have dropped, and with the continual influx of Californians that are heavily collectivist as well as the rising proportion of Hispanic voters, which vote Democrat on a greater than two to one margin, it seems assured that as the Hispanic population rises in Texas, the flip to permanent Democrat control in Texas will be nearly inevitable.

Honestly, if Hispanic immigrants voted 2 to 1 in favor of Republicans, Democrats would have insisted on a 200 foot high wall topped with automatic machine guns.

Looking at the map, it’s theoretically possible for a Republican to win the White House without Texas, but it’s unlikely. Once Texas becomes Democratic the presidency will become, like California, permanently Democratic.

Done right, I think immigration means that we get the best, brightest, and most energetic people from countries all over the world, to come here and help us build our country. But that requires it be “merit-based” and limited in number.

So is legal immigration from non-assimilating cultures.

It is not the papers that matter most, it is the sending culture.

True. Once the Hispanic child citizens, already in Texas, are old enough to vote, it is game over. Democrat rule forever. A great nation destroyed by an invading inferior culture.

taking away a white majority through immigration so democrats can get more votes is ethnic cleansing.

As usual the lefties are the real racists.

Immigration may or may not of been important when the country was vast and empty. America, like a lot of countries around the world, is full.

I’m open to that argument. It’s totally irrelevant at present because we don’t have control over the flow of immigrants into the country. When we achieve that, then we can have a debate about the right amount.
