Default Putit this way.

We heard how Wendy Davis was going to be elected Gov. over Gov Abbott. 48th Gov. of Texas. The Mayor of Houston trying to a fast in trying to Police Sermons from Local Pastors. I think Texans know better.

I visited Dallas and even thoughts very Metropolitan, Bass Pro was still busier than Macy;s.

Blue maybe not! Even Dem. Past Gov were considered more Central than Liberal.

Migrating to Texas, has it's benefits. Thus, I wasn't born here, but I got here as fast as I could.
You would be surprised after a year or two here.

People are not moving here, from out of control liberal states, because Texas is Progressive.

Just tell the new immigrants that the rich white man is bad. You do that , and they will vote democrat. Republicans need to let the mexican immigrants know that democrats stand and support
1. Gay marriage
2. Abortion
3. Religion is not important
Mexican that are coming from Mexico find these things as an abomination. Republicans need to let them know democrats love these things. But I don't see it happening. The republicans will look like the rich white racist and the Mexicans will eat it hook line and sinker and vote for whoever can give them welfare stuff.

Hispanics in Texas understand this and voted for voter ID for a reason.

"Immigrants"? Immigrants can't vote only citizens can lawfully. I think with Hispanic-Americans "immigration" still trumps the other social issues for them. The majority of them favor amnesty for their illegal amigos and that is their bottom line. Note I didn't say "all" of them. It is mostly those who originated from Mexico or other points south of our border. The Democrats fit the bill for them on this one.

Excellent post! Part of the problem is that the media doesn't want that story to be told. Some churches and communities are getting the word out, but it is a tough task. Of course, immigrants won't be able to vote unless they are citizens. So, we need to make sure that our laws are being enforced. Why do you think the dems want to open up our voting regulations?

Possibly?? many Mexican-Americans consider themselves real Americans, and rightfully so. It is up to the local politicians to uphold compassion conservatism.
