HOW THE WEST WAS WON FROM REPUBLICANS BY DEMOCRATS DUE TO ANTI IMMIGRANT ATTITUDE PLAYED BY THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT AND ITS BASE OF OLD HISTORY OF HANGING ON TO POLICIES TARGETING LATINO IMMIGRANTS INSTEAD OF PROVIDING A COMMON FAIR SOLUTION - AS THE YOUNG HISPANICS WILL NOT FORGET THE IMMIGRATION FIASCO PLAYING NOW

When the Mirage Hotel and Casino opened in 1989, it kicked off one of the most significant construction booms in recent history.
Four new mega-casinos opened in quick succession on the Las Vegas Strip, bringing in tens of thousands of new residents to work as card dealers, cocktail servers, security guards and maids.
Among the new arrivals was a family of undocumented Mexican immigrants who found a house in the impoverished bedroom community of North Las Vegas, where their son found a local team to play soccer with.

After winning citizenship, that son became the first formerly undocumented immigrant to claim a seat in Nevada’s state legislature.Today, Rep. Ruben Kihuen’s (D-Nev.)  family still lives in North Las Vegas, and his mother still cleans hotel rooms.
“My story’s a very common story,” Kihuen said at a cafe recently, just a block from the field on which his soccer team played.
It’s a deeply personal tale that points to a growing problem for Republicans: Demographic change is slowly, but inevitably, moving Western states to the left.

The political power of Las Vegas is a hint of the GOP’s worst-case scenario: A mega-metropolitan area so dominant, and so Democratic, that it swamps the Republican advantage in increasingly conservative rural areas.
