I am getting some very interesting sub-harmonics in my reader e-mail about

the immigration thing. People are angry all over; but I am getting a fair

amount of e-mail from people who are NOT angry, don’t see what all the fuss

is about, and are fine with massive illegal immigration from Mexico. A

disproportionate number of these what’s-the-fuss people write from Texas.

Is Texas “special” in this regard? As compared to, say, California? One

reader suggests that Texans have a much better-rooted sense of who they are

than Californians do (heck, Texas was briefly a nation, wasn’t it?), and so

are comparatively insouciant about sharing their land with their neighbors.

Is this right? If so, it throws an interesting light on GWB’s attitudes.
