“This is not a shooting war, but a demographics one, which whites are losing. Badly.”
You see the future.
And — unlike some of the previous posters in this thread — so do I.
The title of the article reads:
“Obama Says Texas Will Be a Battleground State ‘Soon’”.
He’s right, although he has about as much to do with it as he did with the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Texas -is- destined to become a battleground state, because of changing demographics within.
Was there not posted a few months back, right here on FreeRepublic, an article that said that the majority of babies born in Texas were to Hispanics, illegal or otherwise? And conversely, that the number of births to women of “Euro” heritage was far lower, relatively?
Texas probably has the largest number of Hispanic illegals of any state other than California. It doesn’t matter whether there’s an amnesty or not — the illegals who are in Texas TODAY are literally “sowing the seeds” of political change, through the children they are gestating. Every one of those babies is an American citizen. No, they can’t vote today, nor can their parents. But wait 18 years, and that changes....
Those who warn that if Texas “tips” to the rats, the presidency may be lost to Republicans are correct. Look at California, a once-conservative state, that not only has “tipped” leftward but completely toppled over. Texas isn’t there yet, but the demographics of the state are ominous.
Not a good situation. The problem with illegals is that their children are NOT “illegal”. They are here, and they are citizens. And they most likely will vote liberal when they reach voting age.
THAT is why Texas is going to end up “in the battleground” within a generation.
Recalling that famous battle long ago where the line was drawn in the sand, the force of greater numbers will eventually win... but this time they won’t fire a shot. It’s babies who have become bullets in this demographic struggle.
I don’t like it any more than anyone reading this.
But that’s the way I see it...
Sad, and scary. An excellent comment on your part, Road G. This somehow reminds me of the situation for a couple of decades before the Civil War. The South new that they were going to be ramrodded if the new states came in against them. So they wanted out. Of course that didn’t work out too well for them. And what is it that can work for us now in the face of this demographic scourge?
Well said. It is inevitable.
Those anchor babies are already a factor in the northeast, where Hispanics are displacing blacks as the pillar of Democrat voting strength. More babies, and a continued influx (with no end in sight) - more than enough to offset black population growth (which has fallen dramatically since the 1996 welfare reform).
Mark Steyn has written about this as nothing less than a threat to the legacy of Christian Western Civilization built up over centuries.
Race War?
Already WELL under way, with only the “persons of color” side using live ammunition......
