The Plan to Keep Texas Blue

One thing Erick Erickson said in an email today was alarming and rings true. He said incoming Texas governor Gina Hinojosa said she will continue to allow data center projects. However, they’ll have to use union labor. She will import them from California, since Texas is a right-to-work state.

If anyone wants a data center built, you will have to import labor from California. That’s where the largest segment of unionized construction workers for data centers is.

So the Texas Democrats are already putting that in place to keep Texas permanently blue. They are giving the Democrats a lock on the Electoral College.

Importing left-wing union labor ends Texas’s electoral votes. The Republican Party is not viable for any presidency without Texas.

Latino voters reportedly went big for Talerico and Hinojosa. They only went Republican long enough to stop the onslaught on the border. They were probably always going to vote blue again. Reportedly, they were upset with the way the deportations were handled. They and everyone else should be upset with the people trained by the ACLU and other far-left organizations to attack ICE, putting themselves in harm’s way.

It was more than Latino voters affecting the race.

According to the NY Post, census figures show 77,161 people relocated from California to Texas in 2024 alone, making it the single busiest state-to-state move in the nation. That same year, roughly 556,156 Americans settled in Texas from other states while 483,476 left, for a net gain of 72,680.

Texas grew 15.8% between 2015 and 2025 (about 4.3 million), more than double the 6.2% national rate.

The state now counts about 31.7 million residents. A Realtor.com analysis prepared for The California Post earlier this year pegged the California-to-Texas pipeline at roughly 1 million people between 2015 and 2025.

Most of those coming from California are leftists. They were lured in for money.

Even if the union vote doesn’t come in, things are looking grim for the GOP.

Sen. Ted Cruz said he can get Texas back. Let’s hope that’s true.
