    You might make the case that they're more socially conservative. But politically and economically most of them are big government socialists that will vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    Yea, I guess I don't get it.

    Most hard working decent people I've run into from south of the border are way more conservative than lib.
    My Feedback
    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

    Well, you've filtered your results.

    There's also a generational influence that changes. Cuban immigrants are a great example. They came here with nothing, worked their assess off, and are very conservative. Go back and look at the presidential election results in and around Miami from 1980s-1990s. Look at it now. It's flipped. First gen Cuban-Americans are very supportive of collectivism.

    Here's a decent article with some history.

    https://www.wired.com/story/texas-tu...-intersection/

    The answer to the question is that every interstate in Texas has frontage roads for every mile of interstate, which makes the Texas Turnaround possible.

    Yeah, the frontage roads are great. They allow through traffic and allow local access. If there's a problem shutting down the highway, route traffic onto the frontage road and then back onto the highway at the next on-ramp. It's extremely flexible.

    Then again, Texas A&M actually monitors and recommends changes to improve traffic conditions.

    This state can't even coordinate traffic signals to keep traffic moving on major roadways.

    If people who are no longer first generation residents of their country are a problem (and I'm not saying I disagree) then I've got some upsetting news for everyone.
