Turn Texas blue and it will be all over for the Repugnicans nationally. Sniff sniff
Hispanics in Texas have ZERO in common with white northern liberals. A lot of them also support their families by working in the energy sector, which Democrats want to destroy.
That doesn't answer the question at all. The person I quoted said "it's disturbing news." You posted a link to a Snopes article about undocumented women being responsible for 70% of births at a single hospital over a 3 month period 14 years ago. The same link said most women were there birthing their second child and most were mixed status (i.e. one or more person in the household was in the country legally). The link said that women rushing across the border to give birth was a relatively rare occurrence.
Either way 1) you were not the person I quoted and 2) it still doesn't answer the question of why it's disturbing news.

The huge number of illegal alien mother's giving birth in Texas IS the disturbing news because that is how they are gaining majority in that state. Is that too hard for you to understand? Do you actually think that because that article is from 14 years ago that things have changed? They may not all be rushing across the border to give birth at 9 months but they are making sure that they are giving birth on our soil afterwards to gain citizenship for their kids. Don't play dumb here. Even if they are in a mixed status relationship they are still giving birth on our soil and increasing the Hispanic numbers in Texas.
Of course there are Hispanics who are citizens of this country (not counting anchor babies). I never said they were all illegals but it is illegal immigration that is putting their numbers over the top. Nothing bigoted about the truth! How is the truth creating division in our country? Are we supposed to lie about the facts? Why are you pulling the race and KKK card on this? Can't handle the truth?
over the top of what? i assume you are afraid of people of color for some reason - the truth is the numbers show they have more kids than whites and that yes they may out number whites - again so what - why are you afraid?

being in the minority?
Oh geez, here we go with the skin color/race card again. How many times do I have to repeat that neither of those things bother me. Of course I'd like us to be mix of white people also. Is that a bad thing? My objection is to illegal immigration that is transforming the demographics and culture of our country along with "their" high birthrates. Got it now or do I have to explain to you once again?
