Since Donald Trump was elected in 2016, much talk has been made about demographics.

The 2018 elections, which saw races in Texas end up closer than usual, has given these discussions an extra boost. Now there’s strong speculation that Texas could soon flip blue within the next decade as the state’s demographics start shifting.

Even elections in 2019, especially in Virginia, do show some signs of a demographic shift, which Goldberg also illustrated.

Talk about demographics is no coincidence when considering the prominence of the immigration issue in the Trump era.

Since the passage of the 1965 Immigration Act, the U.S. has witnessed a large wave of mass migration that is fundamentally altering the political and demographic makeup of the country.

Unlike previous migration waves, most immigrants coming to the United State hail from Third World countries.

Certain estimates from Breitbart point to 1 out of 10 eligible voters originating from foreign countries. This raises tough questions for the U.S. Immigration has historically come in waves, but has been met with subsequent pauses or reductions.
