Longtime Texas Republicans and Democratic pollsters say predominately white new arrivals who moved to enjoy the state's economy are a primary factor behind the state potentially turning blue in 2020.

GOP politicians like former Governor Rick Perry have long bragged about the"Texas Miracle" which pointed to the state's economy growing while the rest of the country plummeted under the Great Recession. But the state's continuing energy and tech industry boom is bringing more liberals to Texas than its traditional Christian conservative base.

"There are some who are coming here for the jobs and they don't have the Republican or conservative mindset, if you will," said Republican activist Nancy Large."We realize we can't sit on our laurels. We have to get out there and fight." According to Internal Revenue Service statistics first obtained by the business wire service, about 40 percent of Texans were born somewhere else, with more than half of those people having moved in from other states. Three deeply Democratic states have seen their residents moving to Texas: California, New York and Illinois.
