Well, Ron, you seem to be right about the demographics of those three states, but in a way, it's kind of a chicken-or-the-egg kind of a question. If all of the many illegals had not been allowed into the country after the 1986 amnesty bill was passed--in other words, if the laws had been upheld at the time--great numbers of the people who live in those three states today would have been born in Latin American countries, and would not be voting here.
                      If you do the math, you will see that a person born in 1986 would just be reaching voting age in 2004--the Kerry election. So if nothing is done, the demographics will be different again in 2012, and radically different by 2016.
                      Many Hispanics think this is a really good thing; some of us do not.
                      All of that having been said, it's a problem now that the new president will have to deal with. It's important for the American public to get behind him now. The problems he faces are just too huge for him to have to put up with all of this endless bickering.
                     The election is over!
