Those who would see themselves as "anglo white" exclusively would more often than not embrace the term hispanic or more often no label at all.

Texas demographics as to how people categorize themselves:

White: 70%
Non Hispanic White: 45%

That's 25% that are Hispanic that identify as White.
From 2010 census.

Illegals are here because there is "money" to be made by white employers who like to keep their labor costs down.
This ^^.

Illegals are needed, plain and simple.

Say your goodbyes to the GOP as we know it.

Demographic trends will be too great in 2016 for them to overcome.

They'll either stick with their Nixon strategy of dividing Americans along racial/cultural lines and the numbers won't add up, or they'll give that up to some extent and become unable to scare whites into voting against their own self interest.

Either way they lose.
All I can say is "Thank God for that".

Maybe if this poor excuse for a political party was to disappear then a real conservative alternative could rise up. True conservativism has many very good ideas about many different things. This GOP is not conservative in any way or form. ore than anything else they resemble corporate fascists. They are the complete opposite of anything democratic or fair. What they propose over and over again is a kind of corporate socialism where more and more is given to those who already have it all. On the other hand they promote social Darwinism on the vast majority of the remainder of the people. Survival of the fittest.

Didn't we see that happen these past 4 years under a Dem administration ?
