That's too bad for Texas.

So, hypothetically, what do you think would happen since 1 in every 20 Texans is now an illegal alien, and Texas stepped up to the plate and held their own election to stop this lunacy? And if they did, what do you think would happen in the state George Bush is from? I think the results would be predictable, as even Bush Senior came came out, and spoke out against our election here in California. I remember it clearly and can even find a quote if you like.

My point is California with all it's politically problems, at least stepped up to the plate several years ago and voted to stop this government sponsored, forced support of illegal aliens, and the government stepped in after we won and told the vast majority of Californians to F off.

All the other states out there that are being inundated with illegal aliens haven't done anything to help themselves as this ever escalating crisis continues.

So even with comment such as these

Additionally, white liberals are a relatively rare species in Texas, without the vast strongholds of leftism found in the S.F. Bay Area and Los Angeles County. The Texas rich are, by and large, moderate to conservative; their California counterparts are not. Highland Park, a wealthy, old money, in-town suburb of Dallas, was President Bush's and VP Cheney's home; Marin County, north of San Francisco, was John Walker Lindh's.

Texas, in other words, will be no pushover for a Hispanic takeover, in either slow motion or double time.

The fact remains, the huge overall majority of Californians held a free election, (prop 187) and voted to end this illegal immigration lunacy. We won, and won big, but the government had other ideas...... So even if some of your statements are true, the fact remains, California spoke loud and clear with 187 only to be bound and gagged by the government.

Neither the Texas nor the California political establishments would countenance any restrictive measures on government services given to illegal aliens being passed by the Legislature. Unlike the Califormia Constitution, the Texas Constitution provdes no way for the citizenry to trump the legislature through referendum.

Texas' saving grace is that the state government provides fewer and less costly services than does California. Also, the Lone Star State lacks an income tax. Its beauracracy and regulations are far less restrictive than in California. Perhaps Texans lack the ability to override the Legislature, but at least our state government is less oppressive than that of the Golden State.

I am sorry for what has happened to California, nor do I assume that Texas will escape the former state's fate. However, there are certain factors at play in California, specifically, the large volume of white liberals, who facilitated the leftist takeover of that state and possibly the future establishment of Atzlan there, which are not the case with regard to the Lone Star State.
