It’s not Hispanics alone. A friend has a multi million dollar commercial real estate business headquartered in LA. He investigated moving to Texas. His effort found massive influx of Left Coasters moving to Texas. His own circles in SoCal showed the same. But too many of the people leaving that he actually knew were zealous Dems. As a result he decided to move his HQ to Tennessee. In his opinion in ten years Texas would be Cali.

“Make No Mistake: The GOP is Losing Texas: 5 Congressmen Have Resigned Instead of Seeking Re-election”

The fruit of Perry begging Californians to move to Tejas.

The way CWII may start:

A Democrat is elected President at some point—and opens the border to illegal invaders.

Texas responds by defending the southern border by military force—and eventually has to defend its _entire_ border (north, south, east, and west) by military force.

[Blaming voters who were physically attacked by a leftist mob at Trump’s Chicago rally was a shit head move which is not going away here in Texas.]

Don’t forget his coup attempt at the convention....

It doesn’t matter that Texas has a photo ID law and must actually PROVE they are eligible…

Voter ID laws are just gun laws, and all laws in the respect that there are people who want to violate them, and they WILL violate them if given the chance.

Are you personally willing to go and volunteer to confront voters in blue districts in Texas to verify they are all eligible? And what would actually be your ability to verify any documents presented to you?

You may be willing to blindly trust that all will be ok, and insult those who are concerned, but not me, not after we saw the results of all those supposed recounts LAST election.

"Texas is now lost."

So leftist wishful thinking is now what passes for news? Good grief.

Leveraging the anti trump and anti Cruz hate that had their base motivated and a lot of outside money they got close in an off year election...

While individual districts will swing TX isn’t blue yet... however if they don’t get their voting percentages up the Dems will get a statewide win sooner or later. Lot of complacency down there.

Yep, people try to blame it solely on Californians....but that lets off illegals and generations of natives that have been brainwashed by schools and the media.

Never trumpers heading for the hills.

A better generation of true conservatives is rising.

Well, maybe it’s time for Texans...and other conservatives....to put a call in to the Texas GOP and ask what the game plan is, to keep Texas red....especially with these five retirements, and the previously solid red counties going Dem, in 2018.

The rest are Bush League Republicans hell bent on turning the USA in to North Mexico, good riddance.

I think you've nailed it. The RINOs are retiring and that is something good and necessary, particularly if they are being replaced with Trump-style non-globalist Republicans.

It’s only a matter of time. The GOP is dead as a major political party.

Yes, Texas is in trouble (and by extension, the entire country). There are a lot of conservatives and (R)'s in general out there that need to wake up to this reality.

Some facts to consider, in no particular order:

1. FY 2019 (* as of 03/05/2019) | FY 2018 | FY 2017

Texas apprehensions FY 2019 - 181,079
Texas apprehensions FY 2018 - 250,342
Texas apprehensions FY 2017 - 207,693

California apprehensions FY 2018 - 39,115
California apprehensions FY 2018 - 67,821
California apprehensions FY 2017 - 44,719

2. A big reason why the numbers are so much higher in Texas and not in California? Most of CA's border with Mexico has some sort of barrier along the way. Texas? Virtually the entire border with Mexico is wide open.
https://www.usatoday.com/border-wall/us-mexico-interactive-border-map/

3. Regarding historical political party strength, Texas has elected more Democrats at both the state and national level, than California has. Texas could go back to being blue.

4. CA and NY actualy had a net decrease on foreign nationals here illegally from 2010 to 2015.
The hot new places for illegal aliens to invade is Texas, Florida and Virginia!

5. Hispanics overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

“Are you personally willing to go and volunteer to confront voters in blue districts in Texas to verify they are all eligible? And what would actually be your ability to verify any documents presented to you?”

I live in SC. If I lived in Texas then the answer is YES!!
Texas has a procedure in place and if I am checking the ID and if I have suspicion I would make it known to whomever is in charge and assume that voter would need to satisfy him/her or else vote with a provisional ballot.

If we become afraid to call out vote thieves then what the hell is the point of having elections?

Voter ID are NOT like gun laws. You can’t go to a “vote” show and “buy” a vote and you can’t meet a guy named Luigi or Santana behind a garage and “buy” a vote.

People do cheat and the way to stop it is to catch them and have a very public trial and hand down maximum penalties. People are far less likely to commit any crime at all when they know people are specifically looking for that crime.

No one is losing Texas in 2020. We will likely pick up congressional seats and the State stay deep Red.
