I wish they would stay away from Texas
They will vote democrat and transform Texas into a California with ranches.
Repeated thousands of times. Liberals SCREW UP some locale and then everyone flees to the nearest conservative outpost. Then that outpost is INFECTED by liberals who take over and begin destroying that area.
I feel bad for Texas. Such a great state that will face the double whammy of illegal immigration and leftist coming in to take over. I heard reports that Texas will go from a Red state to a purple state by 2014 and turn blue by 2020.
Very sad.
They have to make room for illegal aliens to move into the blue states. Then King Baraq will extend the right to vote to them.
This is especially interesting because the U-Haul Index probably understates things.
Upper-middle class and rich people aren’t likely to move themselves, so U-Haul is primarily middle class and working class.
Wealthy and productive people are probably moving out of CA in even higher proportion.
Indeed California is the flow chart of how to do everything wrong.
God be merciful to Texas, please. We already have hundreds of thousands of Mexican squatters milking the state for free stuff. We don’t need their CA enablers screwing up our elections.
The Detroitification of an entire state as beautiful as California is painful to watch.
There are some twists and turns to this, as was seen starting about 20+ years ago in Utah. Wealthy Californians fed up with California went there, built enormous McMansions, loved the scenery, and within a few weeks were bored to tears.
They sorely missed those things that made California such a cesspit, such as adult and liquor stores, lots of adult oriented entertainment, expensive and effete dining, and all sorts of expensive and gaudy stuff that appeals to the noveau riche but is laughable to everyone else.
The amusing part was when they tried to persuade the locals to bring all that gunk to rural Utah. Serious, very conservative Mormons with strict family values. “Import Babylon? Uh, no.”
So the bottom line is that there are now a bunch of empty McMansions in rural Utah, mostly paid for, but abandoned white elephants.
Thus the question becomes “How will Californians adopt to the Texas lifestyle?”
Most likely, in the currently liberal big cities, they will fit right in, while sneering at everything Texan. Elsewhere? Well, in most of Texas they do things differently than in California, and are probably quite happy to keep doing things the Texas way. And if the Californians find that intolerable, well, tough.
That’s because the RAT strategy is to flood red states with refugees who are likely to bring their misguided voting habits along with them.
Proof of non-RAT voting registration should be required of all new residents. < /sarc >
“The exodus from Blue to Red States will grow and get faster.”
Moving from California to Texas is like jumping from the fire into the frying pan.
Texas is red today, but will be blue tomorrow. The state is doomed by demographics that cannot be reversed.
Something like 70% of the babies born in Texas hospitals are to Hispanic mothers, legal and illegal. But even if the mothers are illegal and can’t vote, every newborn that comes out of them is an American citizen, who at age 18 will become a voter. And we know who they’re going to vote for when they’re old enough to do so.
It will take 20-25 years, but I expect to see Texas first become a “battleground” state, with shrinking Republican totals vs. rising democratic totals. Finally it will “tip to the blue”, first with narrow victories for the ‘rats (just as we are seeing now in states like VA, CO, and NM), and then, solidly blue.
Of the Hispanic newcomers, we’ll get _some_ of their votes, maybe 25%. But that leaves three out of four for the other side. How long can this cohort of the population continue to increase, before “Texas” topples over into “Tejas” ??
