The Republican party in Texas is drawing Hispanic voters disillusioned by the Democratic party’s extreme values, two female Hispanic Republican leaders with Democratic backgrounds told the Daily Caller News Foundation. South Texas saw both a liberal decline and a conservative surge during the 2020 election, the New York Times reported, a surge that has emboldened Republicans hoping to win in Latino communities throughout the United States. Hispanic female Republicans are stepping up to the plate, the publication reported. “I am starting to see this need to connect with the Hispanic community and let them know nationwide that it’s the Republican

Seems to me that Hispanic culture fits better with conservatives that with the family destructive liberal leftists in charge now.

I also believe that some of this shift has to do with the Democrats' support for BLM and reparations for blacks. In California illegal aliens have move in and taken over many historically black communities, and there is no love lost between blacks and Latinos in many cases. It would be the ultimate irony and proof that God has a wicked sense of humor if the Democrats' strategy of flooding the US with illegals would end up shifting all those currently blue enclaves into red.

Dems are more than a bit slow on the uptake.
We've watched this trend over the decades.
It isn't just recent.
Dems are slitting their future throats to win small victories now.

Hispanics are not a bloc, rather a number of small blocs, and the Americans of Mexican descent have never been supporters of illegal immigration. They are people who have worked hard, struggled, and made something. They are there when we have wars proudly serving. In short, they are proud Americans. Their communities are at risk, as are their values. They understand things are flowing against their idea of social justice, i.e. work hard for your family and succeed. Republicans have some missionary work ahead of them, but it appears the flow is headed their way. Biden/Harris can only accelerate that flow. Now, will it spread to urban areas? If it does...

Quite simple really. The Texas US citizen Hispanics whose families have spent generations building successful businesses and communities are sick of progressives. They are sick of being told they are one in a bunch of those caravans, including the criminals. They can see the hypocrisy in technicolor.

Well, historically HIspanics who have avoided the criminal gang life have been Catholics who believe in strong family values. It has never seemed reasonable that people with this cultural heritage would support abortion, and all the other insane, anti-family, anti-religious policies of the Dems.
Perhaps it is finally becoming clear that the Dems do not have families', and Christians' best interests at heart, and are in fact, totally opposed to those values.
Welcome to all new conservative voters.

It has crossed my mind that those struggling to get here any way they can are actually illegally entering what is slowly becoming a socialist country. Things will be worse here, in time, than they are in their native countries. They are probably better off, for now, staying where they were born. We'll eventually get this socialist/communist mess fixed but it's going to be a rough few years. And yes, I believe the ones that do come won't necessarily vote democrat.

Much like the Cuban's in Florida who vote Republican because they know what socialism looks like, many Hispanics will too. The Hispanics are generally Catholic, view family as a priority, do not believe in abortion, and are hard workers. This is everything the demoslut party is against. While the media and the demosluts may view these illegals as new demoslut voters, chances are that may not be what happens.

I don't think most Americans realize just how much the values of Texans of Anglo and Latino heritage are alike. Over the years I have had a lot of work and other daily interaction with Hispanic culture in Texas and in Florida. Never had single problem or major dispute. Even regarding the border problems, they overwhelmingly believe in legal immigration, not the illegal invasion we are experiencing.
I may be wrong, but I believe the current progressive/socialist race hustling is going to blow up in the left's face and they do not have sense enough to see it coming.
