    No, thanks. I was simply wondering if Don meant some kind of election exit poll or something when he posted "When surveys were taken after the last election, more native Texans apparently voted for O'Rourke over Cruz; it was the new arrivals from California that elected Cruz."

    I have never been surveyed about how I voted and I probably wouldn't respond if I were.

    I belong to the yougov surveys, ever since Ken first told us about them, and I also belong to several other survey companies, so I have political surveys every day about what i think about Biden and other people running for office.
    I never get any that come by phone or text, just the ones that I signed up to take because I get points for surveys, and can cash in the points for Amazon gift cards.

    I saw this on twitter and wanted to share it.
    The liberals are not going to be happy if all of those illegals that are coming across the border and being given the right to vote, start voting for republican candidates.
    We might see the borders closed by Biden if that happens in the elections this fall. And it is looking like it could.
    The lady who just won in Texas is married to a border patrol agent, and apparently, most of the BP are Hispanic.

    I've had the descendants of such people tell me that a large issue is when immigrants landed on our shores, many of the jobs that received were union, so there's generational party gratitude by affiliation and passed-down family party custom.

    The most disgusting part of all this is the democrats jerk us around on a daily basis dependent on what they think is good for "party." They are not doing their jobs. This is a live and up-close reason why the Fed has limited enumerated powers that are formally granted by the states. One response I expect from the Dems is to modify the naturalization process so new citizens do not learn the facts about our form of government.

    I lived in the Rio Grande Valley for twenty years, a place where Spanish-speaking people made up about ninety percent of the year-round population, and I don't feel like I was discriminated against. Oh, they'd use my language deficiencies against me from time to time, but it was all in good fun, and I could turn it on them once I began picking up on more of the Spanish language and didn't let everyone know.

    Most of the people who were raised in the Valley were from families that have been there for generations, but even those who had recently come from Mexico weren't necessarily in favor of open borders. Open borders meant low wages and a harder living for them, even more so than for those of who didn't have Mexican heritage.
