Look for some major court battles over the next several years over redistricting.

If social safety nets is what immigrants are looking for why are they moving north and not south towards more socialist countries? It would appear that they're doing the same as the people behind the iron curtain, moving towards freedom, free enterprise and self sufficiency and away from less freedoms, less free enterprise and total dependency on the state.

Where migration is occurring they're, again, moving away from the states that have the most burdening of systems with high taxes and regulations and more towards less intrusive states. There seems to be a trend that Emma Lazarus wrote about...

Which will be funny since so many conservatives won state District Attorney positions.

GOP now holds both chambers in Texas...I imagine they might be toughening up their illegal alien laws to try and keep all those coming from Mexico out of Texas.

I guess what you're saying is eventually Texas will be overrun with illegals?

Amnesty is the only way Democrats can take conservative states, it's funny that Democrats have no problem teaming up with a bunch of illegal immigrant criminals in order to try to push their agenda. All the criminal Democrats should feel at home.

Not quiet at all. But everyone knows it isn't due to top line growth, revenues are flat or down. But due to layoffs and cost savings.

I find a list of the population figures for each state, but have not been able to determine where each state stands in population order. Were there changes in population rankings?

Don't be silly. The recession has forced ambitious workers (conservatives by definition) to leave blue states for jobs in red states. Liberals will stay in blue states to collect unemployment and food stamps indefinitely.

There isn't another state in the South were the majority people will be non-White by 2020.

It's not wishful thinking and I'm not the only one that thinks that way.

Right, right. Every 6 months or so some democrat comes out and says the this is changing or that is changing and the republicans party will never again be able to get elected. Then the next election happens and the republicans win. I've been following politics since the Carter Administration. This has been true since at least that time.

Here's a prediction for ya: Dopey democrats and media types will continue to believe the death of the republican party is just around the corner because of (insert dumb arse reason here) and the Republican Party will continue to win elections.

Book it.


P.S. Being non-white doesn't mean a vote for a democrat. Only a racist would think that way.
