Two Big States’ Big Split on Immigration

In the current immigration debate, California and Texas look like very similar terrain. The two electoral behemoths are both “border states” familiar with the issue. And in both Hispanics make up the exact same percentage of the population according to the latest Census numbers: 38.2%.

And yet, as the debate continues, the issue is starting to play out very differently in them. [cont.]

    The unfortunate aspect of the media,opinion poll results always shows the average White Male 15%mid 30’s pocket poor republican,or confused independent on Immigration, in Denial of reminding himself his father had a 65 % chance of being an Immigrant himself on Ellis Island, and the same rights he denies someone because they look brown,or yellow or black Will be his undoing..Inflexibility to know and realize that those immigrants will be contributing in mass numbers to Social Security coffers over the span of his 45 years before HE actually draws a Social Security Check, talk about dense and not getting the math right. I am of European origin, Hungarian, served the USAF in the cold war and did my country right what exactly did this (suggested)average male do for this country?,Except spew fear and prejudice? Now going forward here..Why isn’t it a polled question?
    Does does the masses feel that a successful Immigration Bill will multiply Democratic Party registered voters finally tipping the balance against the same 15% undecided that hold us back as a country, isn’t that the Real Core and statical crux of this debate?
