The Monthly posited that many Texas Hispanics “actively reject being cast as immigrants......“Last year, in Starr County, where 96 percent of respondents were Hispanic, almost 99 percent identified as white. (In Fallbrook CA where I lived for a number of years, Hispanics feel much the same and families have been living there for many generations.)
According to a report in the Texas Monthly, Democrats who have been hoping to turn the state of Texas blue are facing the stark realization that the Hispanic vote they seemingly take for granted is far more conservative than they are willing to admit.
The Texas Monthly notes:
Last year, McAllen experienced the biggest shift in party vote share, toward Donald Trump, of any large city in the country save for Laredo, 150 miles to the northwest. In both border towns, Trump improved on his 2016 results by more than 23 points. … no area fled further into the GOP camp than South Texas, where 18 percent of the state’s Hispanic population lives.
