Republicans won California in every presidential election of the '50s, '60s, '70s, and '80s, except for the '64 Goldwater loss. Now California has a third-world economy with one-party dominance.
The pro-amnesty Republicans should think clearly about what happened to the Golden State.
Today, California's GOP has withered to a small fraction of the state's registered voters. Since the state began tracking party affiliation in 1922, Republicans have never had such a low share. Republicans are now 29 percent of voters; Democrats are 44 percent.
But California did not go quietly. In 1994, California voters, and governor Pete Wilson, tried to eliminate the incentives for illegal immigration with Proposition 187. Prop 187 sought to prevent people from receiving social services or public education until they were verified as U.S. citizens. Law enforcement agencies were to report illegals to state and federal authorities.
The proposition passed by a stunning 59%-to-41% margin in 1994. However, by 1999, Prop 187 was invalidated by court rulings pushed by liberal organizations. California is now known as Mexifornia.
How could the state that passed Prop 187 and had been a stalwart for Republican presidents have fallen so far?
As the graphs below show, demography was electoral destiny for California. The top chart shows California's demographic changes (from 1960 to 2010), compared to the state's Electoral College votes. The state's Electoral College votes went blue in tandem with the rising Hispanic population.

Faggots, tree huggers, commies?
Nice diversion, but the article and my comments in #19 are in regards to endless fed and state government sponsored country killing immigration...
It will eventually destroy the entire country...
A government that refuses to protect it’s own legitimate borders and sovereignty, will itself become illegitimate.
In fact, for those not paying attention, decades of endless legal and illegal immigration have completely undermined and compromised our very electoral process...
No thank you. We don't need kalifornia's help for that. We've got ghetto trash in the white house, liberals in the RNC, and commies in the DNC. I'd say our destruction is pretty well sealed without kalifornia's help.
During the 1920s and 1930s Los Angeles was a bastion of Anglo Protestantism, reflecting the values of Midwestern parishioners who had been carried to the Southland on the Southern Pacific Railroad. Well into the 1970s, Protestant denominational leaders enjoyed comfortable, influential ties with the city is still-strong “downtown business
establishment,” which itself was largely Protestant.
The Immigration Act of 1965, however, created the condition for a radically different religious future for the City of Angels-a future that would anoint Roman Catholicism as the area’s dominant religious group. Today Roman Catholicism is the single largest faith tradition in Los Angeles County, with 294 parishes and 3,631,368 adherents.
Among Christians, 71% are Catholics. Between 1980 and 1997, Roman Catholicism experienced a 36% growth.
Color is wrong. California turned Communist RED.
The whites who left California are a big part as well as the Hispanics who took over California.
Texas and California have a lot of hispanics but only half of whites in California vote Republican. Like 80% of whites in Texas vote Republican.
For now the Democrats dont have enough Hispanic children and Hispanic illegals to turn up to vote in Texas.
They are. And they're licking their chops.
