Democrats alienating Hispanic voters
Roll Call:
As Democrats go hard left, Hispanics head to the center
This growing voter group will be in play for both parties next year
...
There have been plenty of autopsies done by partisans and academics, and plenty of interesting takeaways from the election, particularly on what happened with Hispanics and why. The answer is ideology. Today, Hispanic voters tend to be slightly center-right, ideologically, and closer to independents at a time when the Democratic Party is heading further and further left.

...
It's a long analysis but let me give you the short version: the party lives in San Francisco, and Hispanics live in Texas.
We saw this recently with the "heartbeat law." The Texas Democrat party does not endorse the law on the grounds that it takes away your "reproductive rights." On the other hand, most Hispanic women are probably saying, don't you hear a baby's heartbeat inside that "mami"?
We will see in 2022. I will go out and predict that Democrats have left the Hispanics behind on many issues, from abortion to border control.
Democrats also misjudge the Hispanic voters on the immigration issue. Hispanic Texans have been Texans for generations and were here and participated in the Texas revolution. They see the illegals as interlopers who are trampling their property. Most are unhappy with the Biden-Harris open borders policy as was demonstrated when Harris made a brief visit to El Paso. They do not like the fact that the Biden policy has also opened the borders to the drug cartels.
