8. Force Hispanics out of Texas? Can't be done

Texas is too demographically diverse and was even when these guys were little babies soiling their diapers. From the photos, that was almost a lifetime ago.

Euro-Americans (people of primarily European descent, both emigrants and native-born) are no longer a majority. Moreover, I believe they’re outnumbered by Hispanics alone, not just from immigration, but also from natural increase. (These reactionaries’ allies’ war on Planned Parenthood and family planning helped this trend along).

Moreover, Texas Hispanics have long since moved beyond just being cooks, maids, ranch hands, and other lower-class niches and if they’re not a majority in Texas’ wealthiest 10 percent, they’re definitely in the middle classes. It’s been that way for years

Not that they aren’t a threat. Texas Hispanics can and ought to have more places at the political and economic tables, despite certain reactionaries’ dreams of restoring a state. Of affairs that passed decades ago.
