HUH??? Democrats have ruled in Texas forever! It's ONLY in the last 12 years or so that Republicans became the Majority. So, your premise is all wrong. IF any "disenfrashising" has gone on in Texas, it's been the Democrats doing it!!!!

Support it everywhere on principle, not in selected states because of anticipated partisan gain.

So, where were YOU when the Democrats ruled Texas for decades and decades??? Didn't care so much then.....right??? |
JPS you are answering in a subtle way why Texas is now so overtaken by Mexicans. In the last twelve years Mexicans have came to outnumber the whites and blacks combined in most Texas' major cities. I lived in Fort Worth for the last fourteen years and just recently moved to Arkansas. Republicans welcome the Mexicans because they will work the cheapest for a less part of the money the republicans save giving themselves cheaper tax rates. And for the last seven years then the Mexican invasion has gone nationwide because we are in a nationwide republican rule. Republicans want to try to save 99 cents of every dollar that they make, even if it mean cheap illegal labor.
