Over on BurntOrangeReport.com is an interview with Sergio Bendixen, one of Hillary Clinton’s pollsters, who made this (to me, interesting) observation in discussing the Hispanic vote:
Almost one-half of Hispanics in California are immigrants, compared to only 18% in Texas.
I wonder if that is a result of California’s more generous welfare benefits vs. Texas’ stricter (almost non-existent) policies. Or is it because of California’s need for migratory workers and farm hands? Anyone who knows, please comment.

Thus showing how Texas does not need a fricken’ wall like the ugly enviromental eyesore traversing between Tijuana and San Ysidro in California when we have a natural river as a barrier.
Yeah, right…that river has done a HECK of a job at stoppin’ them. Almost as effective as those 55 mph signs that control speeding on the tollway.
Wick, it’s because Texas already had an entrenched native-born population of 4 million Latinos before the recent population boom.
We’ve added 1.5 million. California had fewer to start with, and has added more.
