Blue Texas

Seton Motley is a writer, he writes for the Red State blog. He is also the president of Less Government a non profit organization for reducing the power of the government and protecting the First Amendment. He is also a policy advisor to The Heartland Institute, their mission is to "discover, develop, and promote free market solutions to social and economic problems. Motley has credibility with the public in many different areas. I believe the intended audience for this editorial are Republicans, since the blog is mainly for Red State conservatives.

Motley writes about Texas becoming increasingly Democratic. He argues that Texas, once was a red Republic state, has become blue because of the immigrants pouring in from Mexico. That the immigrants are voting for the Democratic Party because of the benefits that they could acquire. I strongly disagree with this statement, I feel that Texas specifically Austin is a diverse community and we are blue because we want to help others by sharing. I can see his view because of the percentages of Hispanic votes go towards the Democratic Party. I feel that this data is insubstantial because we don't know the reason why they voted for the Democratic Party, we cannot accuse them for voting blue because they only want benefits. Motley makes a point that Hispanics are conservatives but does not show it by the past presidential elections in their country. In the past election 75% of  Hispanics voted for Obama, the Democratic Party. This claim makes sense since Obama didn't want to build a wall. Hispanics may have conservative values, but why would they vote for someone who wants to build a wall separating Texas and Mexico?
