All we can do is be ourselves. The TexMex population here in Dallas is like any other. They go where their best interests are. We have to show to EVERYBODY (Mexican, black, white, whatever) that the dem viewpoint is much more adventageous than the rep one.

I have a good friend here in Dallas who was the first judge of Mexican decent to be on the bench in Dallas. He says that, "We Mexicans are taking over Texas one baby at a time."

And it's true. The popuolation here is exploding with first, second, and third generation Mexican groups assimilating even faster than the Irish, Germans, or Italians of the last century (19th not 20th).

It's kind of fun to watch as the sons and daughters of these emmigrants become civic leaders. The lawyers I work with. The business owners. My new neighbors. The city councilmen or county commissioners that are on the news.

The times, they are a changing. And I think it is for the good. The white-bread good old boy network is now suddenly challenged. Good!
