Texas is now officially a majority-minority state with Hispanics becoming the key demographic there thanks to efforts by President Biden and the left to inundate the Lonestar State with illegal immigrants.

The Hill reported, “Hispanics are the largest demographic group in Texas, outnumbering non-Hispanic white people for the first time since the mid-19th century, according to U.S. Census data. In 2022, the state’s Hispanic population reached 12 million, surpassing the non-Hispanic white population and turning Texas into a majority-minority state. Some 40.2 percent of Texans are Hispanic, and 39.8 percent are non-Hispanic white.”

“The demographic milestone means that Hispanics are the largest demographic group in the two largest states in the union, California and Texas,” the media outlet noted.

The Census also stated that Texas and California are the only two states with more than 30 million inhabitants.

“Numbers alone do not tell the whole story,” remarked Roberto Tellez, who is the state director for the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the country’s oldest Hispanic civil rights organization, which was founded in Texas.

Hispanics surpass whites as Texas’ majority, as Texas increasingly turns blue. Coincidence or demographic destiny?

“While it is inevitable that Hispanics would become the numeric majority in Texas, until we have fair and equal access to the reins of power through the ballot box, we cannot achieve our full potential. LULAC continues to strive for that day which will and must come,” he declared.

According to statistics, the population of Texas has been evenly split between Hispanics and whites for years. The 2020 Census showed the state’s Hispanic population trailing the non-Hispanic white population by a razor-thin margin of 200,000 people.

But the Hispanic population has been growing at a faster pace over the last few years as leftists have thrown open the border and illegal immigrants have flooded in by the millions. Over the last ten years, the Hispanic population in Texas has jumped 27.5 percent.

“It just drives home the fact that Latinos every year become a bigger factor in every election,” Chuck Rocha, who is a Democratic political consultant that engineered Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-VT) successful Latino vote strategy in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, stated.

“But it also shows you the importance of having elections that are easier to access. But I think it means that there’s a reckoning coming in Texas. I think Latinos are going to demand more representation and more voice in their government,” he asserted, pointing out that Texas has no Hispanic statewide elected officials.

The only wrench in the Democratic machine is the fact that many Hispanics are Christians and aren’t keen on the pro-abortion, amoral approach of the party. There is a good chance that the saying “demographics is destiny” won’t play out exactly as the Left had hoped.

“As we’ve always said, demographics are not destiny, they’re just an opportunity,” Rocha acknowledged. “And it’s an opportunity for both parties to go make your case to an electorate that is way more persuadable than people used to think it is. Especially in a place like Texas.”

Despite that issue, Democrats are still pushing for full voting rights for illegal aliens and amnesty in their push to turn Texas blue.

According to The Hill, “Though a majority of Texas Hispanics consistently vote for Democrats, a larger percentage of them vote for Republicans compared to Hispanics in California. For instance, in 2022 Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) won reelection with 40 percent of the Latino vote, according to a CBS News exit poll. But it’s also more difficult for Latinos in Texas to vote due to the state’s more stringent voting rules, which opponents label voter suppression.”

Democrats label the fact that you need ID in order to vote as “voter suppression.”

“According to the ACLU, Texas suppresses voting by not offering online registration, limiting vote by mail, fostering long lines at polling stations, offering fewer resources for non-English speakers and threatening criminal penalties for voting errors,” The Hill speciously reported.

“Latinos have been an economic powerhouse in Texas for many generations. We make up a large majority of public sector jobs, as well as in construction and in our healthcare systems not only in Texas but across America,” Eric Holguin, who is the Texas state advocacy director for UnidosUS, commented.

“But with so much negative noise surrounding Latinos, our economic strength and abilities can go unnoticed — especially by political leaders and policymakers,” he asserted.
