No you missed his question.....He highlighted my words " 90% of texas population growth is from mainly hispanics".....he highlighted that.

Then asked me to provide evidence.....Nobody but a little voice in your head said anything about Democratic voters.....LOL

Hispanic immigrants or illegal aliens?

San Antonio has voted democratic for well over a decade, what's your point?

Every Tex-Mex will vote democratic? Don't think so

It's not a little voice, Mexicans/Latinos vote for Democrats just like Blacks do... it's no big secret nor is the reason behind it a secret either.

Wake up call. California has been carrying the rest of the country on it's back. Their budget would be cleaned up nicely if the pork projects for red states came back to them on a dollar for dollar basis. That and BS like Enron Texas being permitted to financially rape the state with a big ole Texas thumbs up. Really, you should all be ashamed of yourselves calling yourself 'real' Americans screwing your brother over like a dog lapping up it's own vomit. You wouldn't know your own constitution if it bit you in the arse.

In 2004 Bush won Dallas/Houston/San Antonio and Austin

In 2008 Obama won all of those same cites...so nice try.

And by all means please refer to hispanic voters in Texas as "illegal aliens".

It so important that they know the bigotry that faces them from the other side. Remind them of who you are.

Oh right I agree. I was just responding the post of a nitpicker that can't read in context.

The graph for exhibit 8......you'll notice hispanic growth is angled like a rocket trajectory and the white growth is flat like where you live....LOL

Demographics - Texas In Focus
Ah..future projections from that 2006 article. I guess you believe all modeling and predictions as "facts".

From your link..dated 2006 here are the facts:
"In 2006, 48.3 percent of Texans were White; 35.7 percent were Hispanic; 11.4 percent were Black; and 4.6 percent fell into the “other” category, which includes persons of American Indian, Asian and Hawaiian descent, among others."

Here's something a bit more current for you to read..2010

Why do you hate Texas so much ?
You don't live there and no one is forcing you to move..are they ?
Texas doesn't take any money from California and we haven't enacted an AZ type law against illegals.

What irks you so much about Texas ?

So whites are no longer the majority in Texas, as they are not the majority in California or Hawaii
