I hope you’re not saying ALL should be able to live in gated enclaves. That sounds kinda’ socialists.

But, you’re correct about Houston. Sheila Jackson Lee gets elected from Houston. The outskirts are conservative. Houston is a blue doe surrounded by red. Like most big cities. And they all have Mexican workers. Rogers, Arkansas’ chicken “factories” depend on the Mexican labor.

Yes, and let me tell you, Houston is relatively conservative for a major big city. Of course, I moved here from Detroit two years ago so anything is a step up from that. Houston may not be as conservative as it once was, but there's still a lot to fight for. God bless Texas! I'd hate to see this place go the way of other places.
