Republicans generally understand that if Texas ever turned blue, the GOP would have an extremely difficult time winning a national presidential election.

While the Lone Star State is still happily conservative, Democrats and progressives are hoping that the state’s booming Hispanic/Latino population coupled with the diminishing young white population will help make the state a toss up in the future.

As Business Insider’s Joe Weisenthal points out, a demographics chart based on U.S. Census data shows that the Latino population among younger generations — future voters — is growing rapidly. However, whites are still the majority among people aged 45 and older.

Nonetheless, Republicans will likely have to find a way to appeal to Latino and Hispanic voters in order to keep Texas a Republican state over the long term. In 2012, Hispanic voters voted for President Barack Obama over Mitt Romney 71% to 27%.

We just found out through the exit polls that the Mexican vote went to Zero overwhelmingly because they want more govt' programs and hand outs. I guess we will have to offer them a free lunch too and stick the bill with the producers in this country.

When the republicans pass amnesty they will return to the days the old GOP loved, the happy minority, picking up the crumbs.

When the republicans pass amnesty....

Any attempt to pass amnesty will garner virtually 100% support from Democrats while 80%-90% of Republicans will vote against it.
