Mexican-Americans are a major part of the TX population. They are and they aren't stupid. They don't want to be over run by MS-13 gang members, murderers and drug lords. The labeling of ALL Mexicans as those less than ideals, is clearly a ruse. Nothing but an attempt at gaining power by the radical left at the expense of destroying the country you know and love. So get off the high horse,

This compares California and Texas. Our present ( 7 R reps out of 53, no statewide office-holders) is your future. I don't know when R's will start coming back here. Proposition 187 Turned California Blue By ALEX NOWRASTEH JULY 20, 2016 3:13PM California politics began to shift in the 1990s to such a degree that the state turned into a Democratic stronghold by the early 2000s. There are two main accounts of why that happened. The first is that Hispanics are naturally Democrats so as their numbers increased they naturally turned the state blue ( Gimpel 2010 makes this point for presidential election outcomes by county) while an increasingly liberal white electorate also helped. The other theory is that Republican support for anti-immigrant ballot initiatives and candidates ruined the GOP brand in the eyes of immigrants, their children, and whites who were turned off by the nativist appeals – driving all of them into the arms of the Democrats who were pro-immigration. More evidence supports the second theory than the first.... Proposition 187 and Pete Wilson Known as the “Save Our State” initiative, Proposition 187 would have denied all public services to illegal immigrants and forced all state employees to immediately report illegal immigrants to the Immigration and Naturalization Service for deportation. It appeared on the ballot in 1994 when California Republican governor Pete Wilson was running a very hard fought campaign for reelection. Wilson’s campaign embraced Proposition 187, the Republican Party threw its financial support behind it and used other nativist talking points in order to win the election.....
