The Hispanic exodus from Democrat party

 Washington Examiner:

Just in time for National Hispanic Heritage Month, the Texas Tribune headed to heavily Hispanic South Texas to ask a question on many political minds this year. At a time when Democrats and the media are going to great lengths (even at the expense of their credibility) to convince the public that Republicans are an existential threat to the country, Hispanic voters are rapidly becoming Republicans.

Not only are the voters electing Republicans to local offices and participating in this year's Republican primaries in unprecedented numbers, but local Democratic officials are also changing parties or sending strong signals that they intend to change parties after the coming election.

Why is this happening? In South Texas, part of it has to do with the border. Recent polling indicates that 57% of Texas Hispanics and 60% of South Texas Hispanics want to see tougher border enforcement. That's because the small and medium-sized towns that line Texas's border with Mexico are currently in a crisis caused entirely by the neglect of the Biden administration. President Joe Biden threw away years of serious diplomacy and essentially put up a "Welcome, the Border is Open" sign when he abandoned his predecessor's "Remain in Mexico" policy for asylum-seekers. The consequences have been devastating.

With the South Texas region being overrun by illegal border crossers, Hispanic Americans living there have learned precisely the same lessons about the Democratic Party that so many other white working-class voters learned over the past 10 years — Democrats are extremely arrogant, blinded by ideology, lacking in substance, and unwilling to listen to anyone, least of all people and groups whose votes they have long taken for granted.

In recent weeks, the mayors of Washington, D.C., and New York City have complained bitterly about Texas and Arizona providing free rides for Biden's newly released migrants to their self-proclaimed "sanctuary cities." The lesson for everyone living in the genuinely strained areas near the border is that Democrats' stated desire to help immigrants is just about optics. They certainly care little or nothing for border-town Americans who are being made to suffer so that these narcissistic politicians can show off their kind-heartedness at others' expense.

Hispanics in South Texas are becoming Republicans because they see Vice President Kamala Harris go on television and claim that the Mexican border "is secure" when they know the opposite is true. Democrats have sent them the message that there is no lie they will not tell to save their skins this November.

...

There is more.

Woke Democrats have lost touch with Hispanics in the border states.  They are dealing with an invasion that Biden Democrats do not want to stop.
