12. Fact: Latinos are a plurality in Texas

Fact: Latinos are a plurality in Texas. I believe that the last census indicated that they were closing in on 40 per cent if they haven’t surpassed it already.

Moreover, there are more Latinos in Texas than there are Euro-Americans. Latinos can (or ought to) be upset about government goons demanding papers or detaining them for the “crime” of being brown.

Despite Texas Latinos’ earlier apathy, Trump-Miller era immigration bullying can have dire consequences for the Texas Republican Party. Enough kicking and even the most apathetic might finally lose their tempers and take it out on Republican politicians who either fell over themselves to support Donald John or chose to remain silent.
