In “WIll the Democratic Party become dominant again inTexas?” the writer Gustavo Rubio proposes the argument that despite the
increase of minorities in Texas and the desire for immigration reform Texas
will never be a Democrat state even thought they support these ideas. He
presents his argument in an organize way with him initially stating his
argument “Is the neglect of immigration reform going to push Texas to start
leaning left? Just like Texas Democratic Gilberto Hinjosa claimed? . No” and the stating evidence “Some of this
population of Latinos in Texas might not even be able to vote because they
didn’t register, aren’t citizens or are undocumented”. Additionally he follows
it up with “Mexican Americans that have been in Texas for generations sometimes
get accustomed to the Texas traditions and align themselves conservative
viewpoints”. I completely agree with his statement on a personal level because that’s
what happened to me I couldn’t register on time therefore I couldn’t vote I felt
disappointed because every ones vote counts and makes a difference. There are
many people who wish they could vote or had the rights I do but I didn’t take
advantage of them it could of made a difference. Minorities in my opinion could
be a significant part of Texas politics if they put effort into it but the fact
that they don’t there not letting their voices be heard so until they get
involved Texas will stay Republican. Furthermore I highly agree with Rubio’s
argument that Texas will remain a republican state until minorities finally
step up.
