Texas always has bent over to illegal aliens. That is mostly the Neocons who want the cheap labor but the Democrats get their votes. Back the 2000s, 9/11 provided a reason for both parties to purge out the moderates to have have nothing left by party loyalists. What ended up happening is a populist fringe happened in the Republican party and Trump took advantage. Trump and Hillary were actually very bad choices for President because neither takes orders. Especially Hillary. Getting back to the shithole state I grew up in, if I were you I would move as far out as you can get away with from the cities. Texas probably has well over 20 million illegal aliens already. When I left Houston in 2002, Harris County was already 55% hispanic. Dallas was no better and is far worse now.
