Texas isn't the same, a bit different set of priorities but usually falls in the anti camp, followed by the smaller GOP bases in the smaller states like Utah/Nev/Colo.<br /><br />No place that was partially Mexicanized in the last century supports huddled-mass importation from the same direction -- even white liberals in San Diego don't want a return to the status quo of the early 80s. But the modern GOP is more influenced by Acela types; it has always been a Midwestern party but they now view the Sun Belt as an albatross. Look at the two Senators from Ariz., you have a think-tank libertoid and an insane coot marching around in a Napoleon costume.meanwhile back in realitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-45697871370238596122014-01-26T17:08:33.408-08:002014-01-26T17:08:33.408-08:00Most Americans don't have a problem with lots ...<i>Most Americans don't have a problem with lots of Mexicans in the country.

If there were only a few doing this, they would be screwed out of their cash but get enough doing this, and they may have enough coverage of a region of a town to exclude the bad neighbors.<br /><br />It may also be a different ballgame for them.

Are the post-pre-K geniuses supposed to leave the U.S., like for a sabbatical, and then re-naturalize at a later date?
