Immigration nation... United States of Texas...

This is another creative take on dividing Texas into parts... because really Texas is amazingly diverse after all (link). Excerpt follows...
Both candidates have campaigned in the Valley on several occasions, but Immigration Nation citizens live and work in large numbers far beyond the Rio Grande. According to Patchwork Nation statistics, they exert a decisive influence, culturally and in some areas politically, in more than 70 of the state's 254 counties - not only throughout South Texas but also in West Texas, the Panhandle and elsewhere.
Very interesting way to conceptualize Texas... not just as geographic regions per se but as parts of the state that have things in common...

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
