These three articles, eventhough they come from two different papers, are all related and tied together, therefore I posted them all together. Hopefully this will produce some good discussion on the role of Hispanic voters and the Republican Party.

In not too many more election cycles, Hispanics will be politically dominant in CA,AZ,NM and TX. I am going to speculate that they will also be democrat to probably 70+%. Texas Hispanic republicans will probably outnumber CA Hispanic republicans, but on balance, most Hispanics will be democrat.

One interesting thing to expect--the white liberal Dems are going to have their hands full trying to appease two competing aggrieved minorities...having taught at a school 33%W--33%B--33%H I saw real quick that blacks and hispanics do not necessarily get along.

"For the first time, the League of Women Voters of Texas plans to issue a guide to statewide candidates written entirely in Spanish for the March 12 primaries. The league, which estimates more than 1 million Texas voters use the guides every election, has printed portions of its traditional question-and-answer guide in Spanish for several years."

The main "effect" of Hispanic immigration isn't in partisan politics - but in the balkanization of the U.S.!

Name any other ethnic/religious/linguistic group getting remotely so much government service - particularly "bilingual education" - in some language other than English in the U.S.! "Bilingual education" is almost never about any other language but Spanish.

And let's be honest about the reality of Kalifornia - where the vast majority of Hispanic immigrants go. It is an incipient Mexican-culture nation - as "reconquista" proponents favor. That has never happened with Swedes in Minnesota or Italians in New York. High continuing Hispanic immigration will eventually result in Kalifornia seceding - with great benefits to conservatives in the other 49 states, as it will forever end the Democreeps' having any viability as a "national" party.
