They are from Texas.
That's okay, in the immortal words of Ron White "While everyone else is putting up road blocks to the death penalty, Texas is putting an express lane. If you kill someone, we will will kill you back."
Yeah. Unfortunately that's right. More money down a rathole.
That was true in the 80's and early 90's. There has been a shift as more liberal democrats have gained control in Texas. Texas is turning blue make no mistake about it.
Actually, a person must hold a green card for 5 years before they are allowed to be a US citizen. During that time they are not allowed to vote in national elections. So the 5 year thing already exists. I'm on board with delaying the whole process to 10 years though, that is how long green cards are good for anyway. (Status doesn't expire, it is permanent, the document does though. You have to keep the picture up to date.)
Why do you think the founding fathers originally determined that you had to be a land owning male over 21 to vote? Maybe they knew, even way back then, that those who have no skin in the game and nothing invested, aren't likey to have a perspective benefitting the society as a whole.

It happens here too, all the time...it's just that when the right people are getting rocked nobody cares.
There are actually large portions of Cali that are very conservative, the central valley and the mountainous region north of Sacramento being the two largest. Too bad the big cities run the whole damn state into the ground.
Look into the specifics before picking which state to move to. Wyoming and South Dakota have far better tax conditions, especially for retirees, and is less likely to go blue in any election and elect the likes of Montana's Sen Testor or Gov. Bullock. The election here that matters is the Repub. primary, after that it's more a formality.
