not from mexico, but the southwest is an area of hispanic american population growth. and if you look at the way their votes are moving, its not a good trend for republicans.
I agree. Which is why amnesty is political suicide for the Republican Party.
How so? I understand the SW pretty well, considering I am from NM, which has always been pretty split down the middle, and not along white and hispanic populations in terms of voting. However, the majority of population growth in the cities of NM is from non-hispanic populations, specifically from California, but also from NY and other points east. They come here because they can buy a huge house for relatively cheap and retire here, but they bring their voting habits with them and are what will potentially turn the state blue.
