Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit the campaign trail in Texas over the weekend. The following is a key portion of her speech at San Antonio:
Texas turning blue is inevitable. It will happen, the only question is when, Texas. The only question is: When?
Texas is currently the most populous Republican-controlled state.
Ocasio-Cortez speaking in San Antonio (YouTube screen grab).
Texas has 38 Electoral College votes and 36 representatives in the U.S. House.
The Texas House is controlled by the Republicans and consists of 82 Republicans and 67 Democrats. The Texas Senate is also controlled by Republicans and constitutes 18 Republicans and 13 Democrats.
The governor of Texas is Republican.
In 2020, President Trump carried the state, winning 52.1% to Biden's 46.5%. In 2016, President Trump carried the state, winning 52.1% to Hillary's 43.5%.
Trump received 1.2 million more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016, while Biden received 1.4 million votes more than Hillary.
What caused Biden's votes to grow? Perhaps he is more likable than Hillary? Perhaps independents voted for him? Perhaps there has been a demographic shift?
A 2020 Census shows that Texas has become more suburban and far more "diverse" — which is a code word for the Democrat base.
Also, urban constituencies in Texas are flipping Democrat, especially in areas like Austin, where the young are migrating from other states.
So what does one make of AOC's remarks?
Fostering a demographic shift across the U.S. has been a long-term Democrat project. The goal is to flood the Republican precincts with migrants and relax the voting laws to permit voting irrespective of citizenship or proof of identity, which will result in drowning the impact of Republican votes.

Border is wide open, but not to worry, Abbot is on it....
Communists will do whatever it takes to destroy America.
The article avoids admitting the fraud and illegal voting has increased.
It is more about that than shifting legal demographics
With AOC campaigning Texas will wind up being redder than a glass of Merlot.
Jeb Bush said we needed to support comprehensive immigration reform, because of this.
The more notice that is given to Rep. Cortez, the more powerful she becomes. But, it’s irresistible to the media because she attracts eyeballs. She is the shiny object. One day we will regret giving her such power.
Do they cover how Hispanics are shifting to the GOP along the border areas? Do they cover how vote fraud legislation was passed? IF NO, then ignore it.

Texas: Make it easy for them to migrate to blue states that give away freebies.
AOC is more right than wrong.
Unrestricted immigration + voter fraud + government dependency =
a socialist paradise run by Democrats.
Somebody should alert the GOP about this. On second thought, don’t bother. Those guys are worried about lobbyist money and country club dues than anything else.
(Sorry for the pessimism. But all is not lost. You never know when another Reagan or Trump might appear on the scene. That person will have one hell of an uphill fight. But I suppose it still can be done.)
That’s the plan....every illegal crossing the border gets a welfare check and voter registration card, then a midnight flight to a swing district
Thats OK most white people are anesthetized to what is happening and in fact have become deracinated to the point of willingly allowing for its destruction. Almost a Borg like thing. It’s inevitable unless whites regain consciousness.
Bush League Republicans have kept that border open for 30 years to import a permanent Democrat majority.
GOP House members just introduced another amnesty bill.
I thought her antics of fence grabbing were meant to highlight the traumas of human trafficking? Now she’s celebrating their consequence. Typical psychopath. No joke
Lucky for most, Hispanics do not vote in a giant block like blacks. We actually think for ourselves.
We gonna take OBER! Screams Los Mejicanos
And you better believe that’s the plan, helped along by the Kooban Uberclass in Me-Ami
It’s not the illegals coming in that will affect the voting demographics in the short term - it’s all the blue state communists moving here in droves week after week so they can take advantage of the strong economy here and escape the restrictive CCP mandates. Eventually, Texas will become permanently blue because Marxists are like locusts and they march right in and destroy everything in their path. Texas will look like the craphole state they left. My prediction last year in another thread here on FR was Texas will be purple in 2028 and full-on blue by 2032. Unless something drastic occurs, Texas is on a death watch.
