Thanks to txrangerette and others who speak the truth.
My husband is an American Hispanic Texan who’s ancestry I have traced back to the Spanish Setters.
Many people apparently don’t understand that Texas used to be Mexico before we won our independence.
Many Texas Hispanics ancestors fought for Texas Independence
Remember the Alamo!
For those who don’t know or understand the demographics of Texas...here’s some facts...
There are 9,151,000 Hispanics in Texas.
That is roughly 40% of all Texans.
Of that 40% or 9,151,000:
Native Born Hispanics = roughly 70% of that 9,151,000.
Foreign Born Hispanics = roughly 30% of the 9,151,000.
American Texan Hispanics don’t like illegals coming over from Mexico anymore than anyone else.
Please don’t lump all Hispanics as being illegals or non American.
And don’t even get me started on this subject because I am Native American Indian.
I believe the author of the original post was speaking of American Hispanics not illegals. It would be no different than saying Perry is Good for Blacks or Perry is Good for Women..etc...
I don’t like illegals coming into our country.
But you cannot blame Texas, Arizona, New Mexico or California. And you cannot blame Perry.
If you want to put the blame for illegal immigration squarely at the feet of where it belongs - blame the United States Federal Government of who it is one of the few constitutional responsibilities that it has and refuses to do it’s job.
I believe the author of the original post was speaking of American Hispanics not illegals.

The author of the article also introduced a bill this past March for a “guest worker” program. The author was a democrat until a few months ago, the author is supported by major amnesty groups, the author supports perry.
What does that tell you?
