Hispanic population surges - will political clout follow?

I'd love to see similar numbers for Taylor County. I think I know where to get them but it's boing to have to wait until the school year is over.

Dallas Morning News | News for Dallas, Texas | Latest News: "Reading statistics on the growth of Dallas' Hispanic population is one thing. Seeing half a million people marching down Ross Avenue is another.

It is at moments such as the immigration rally this month that demographic trends are transformed into political power – a power that could be tested again as some rally organizers plan local participation in a national boycott Monday.

Hispanics have become the largest ethnic group in Dallas. But their economic and political clout traditionally has lagged behind the population statistics. Even many rally organizers expressed surprise when the Dallas rally proved to be one of the largest in the nation."
