So whites are no longer a majority in Texas, but they are STILL the super plurality. And, folks, white people are still in control of almost all major governmental offices and machinery.
Besides, aren't WHITE trash neighbors just as bad as Hispanic trash neighbors? Trash is trash, regardless of the background. What's worse? The drunken conjunto party or the freaked-out rock and roll meth lab in the bathroom?
When I lived in South Texas, populated by MORE than a few real-life Mexicans (pronounced MEZZ-i-kans), they separated themselves by WHERE they originated from. The ones from the urbans areas acted quite differently (and more civilized) than the rural Mexicans (which were called Indios because they were of Indian or Aztec descent). Those people were far more rough in attitude and deed, drinking excessively and showing a greater tendency toward criminal activity.
The two groups only shared a mutual country - and that was it.
The disclosure of the changing face of Texas will disturb some, but they have been disturbed for a long time. They feel the same about Vietnamese, African-Americans, Jewish-Americans and any other "furr-iners" they could name (well, the French don't count, do they?).
To quote David Crosby: "It's been a long time comin'; got to be a long time gone."
Actually we can solve the immigration problem in a non-militaristic manner:
Simply line up all the soldiers and civilians you want, arm to arm and lock hands, and yell "Red Rover! Red Rover! Let's (fill in the name Juan or Juanita) cover over!"
Then a candidate for immigration runs across the Rio Grande and into the American guard line. If he/she breaks through, they stay. If not, they go back and star in their own Right Guard deodorant commercial.
Alas, American ingenuity at work! Earn your way across!
Makes the same funny sense as Kinky Friedman's five Mexican generals proposal, which is logical in its owne twisted way. If this sounds stupid, compare it with current policy or proposed legislation.
You'll think twice.
