Texas primaries showing Hispanics trending toward GOP

 Fox News:

Texas early voting data suggests Hispanic vote shift to the GOP continues 

'It will be Hispanics who keep Texas red,' says Ivan Andarza, spokesman for Hispanic Republicans of Texas

 Hispanic political candidates and operatives in Texas told Fox News that the early data points to a larger trend of Hispanic voters, especially in the Rio Grande Valley, supporting Republican candidates in areas that have been predominantly controlled by Democrats for decades. 

"I’ve spent a lot of time in Cameron, Hidalgo, and Willacy and all the counties in the valley, and there has just been a very different vibe with Republican voters," Republican candidate for Texas Land Commissioner Ben Armenta told Fox News. "I meet with folks, and a high percentage of them are new, and they’re just engaged differently than they’ve been in the past."

Armenta added that there is a "new" and "different energy" with Republican voters in the predominantly Hispanic Rio Grande Valley, where he believes that the Republican message of family values, border security and cracking down on crime is resonating with voters. 

"It’s about the issues that are impacting their home," Armenta said. "The issues that are impacting their pocket book, their schools, the crime in their neighborhoods. When as a Republican candidate, I’m talking to them and I just ask them even in the last 13 months of the Biden administration, ‘Are things better for you?’ The answer is, ‘No.’"

Armenta explained that Hispanic voters in South Texas are very much concerned about illegal immigration in their neighborhoods and support Republican efforts to secure the southern border.

"Border security is all about crime," Armenta said. "These voters, the Latino voters, are legal citizens.

"These are people who, whether they are first generation or fifth or sixth generation Texans, came to the U.S. legally. I am a third generation Mexican-American. My grandparents came here legally, and there is a right way to go about doing this. This is an anti-crime stance that the homeowners, the property owners — they don't want illegal immigrants and aliens and criminals crossing their property. They don't want the destruction. They're not being reimbursed by the federal government when their crops are destroyed , their fields are trampled."

I grew up down there and am very familiar with the Hispanic community.  They are patriotic Americans and some of the first to volunteer for the military in times of war.  It is not surprising to me at all that they are upset by Biden's open borders policy.  Their values are also closer to the GOP these days.

A new Emerson poll shows you just how much Hispanics have moved toward the GOP:

...

Hispanic voters are most critical of Biden’s job performance: only 35% approve while 56% disapprove. White voters are more favorable of Biden’s job performance: 41% approve and 51% disapprove. Black voters are the most favorable of Biden’s job performance: 66% approve while 28% disapprove.
