Over 40% of the Texas hispanic vote went to Republicans, but I guess they won’t talk about that
It's front burner issue.
Candidates are afraid to get burned.
But securing the border is the only way to address this.
April 7, 2015: Perry: Repeal of In-State Tuition Law is Up to Legislators
"COLUMBIA, S.C. — Former Gov. Rick Perry, whose support for Texas’ in-state tuition law has drawn conservative criticism and complicated his failed 2012 presidential campaign, offered a less than forceful defense of the measure Tuesday, largely deferring to state lawmakers who are considering a repeal.
"I'm not the governor anymore," Perry told reporters before a business roundtable at the Central Electric Power Cooperative. The Legislature, he added, "will make a call on whether this is right for Texas or not, but here’s what I’m not going to change on, here’s what I’m not going to back up from, and that is to continue to call for the federal government to do its constitutional duty and secure that border.”.........................
And Krispy Kreme got 20% of black vote!!!! and he’s a psycho thug!!!
If we can get even 3 to 5 percent of latino and black to switch (not as much hope for black) that puts us over the edge.
I haven’t read one word of Cruz pandering. Just making a great case for why Latinos/Hispanics (What’s the right word, I cant keep up) should vote republican.
He should tell blacks, how’s the fifty years of social welfare working out for ya.
I agree Texas latinos for several reasons vote GOP more than any other state
Why?
Old school America first Mexicans and they exist in a conservative sea
But Roves 49% for Bush president runs claim has been discredited over and over
Bush did better than national avg
Prolly 10 points better
Other GOP just do a little better...3-5% than national avg except Cornyn and Kay who both did well
I Cornyn did 37% and Kay gets first prize at 49%
but the trends there now with newer arrival latinos is well
Ominous
true...the GOP can forget the Latino vote in some areas but Texas and Florida will go R...may split enough votes in other states to make a nice dif.
A lot of the anti-Cruz, anti-Walker talk from ‘Latinos’ of Ms Sanchez’ persuasion is intentionally obfuscated with the generalization that melds legal immigration and illegal aliens. You read her article that is supposed to convey real substantive discomfort some ‘Latinos’ have for Cruz or Walker but it never really actually says ‘illegals’ are what they are concerned about.
Her cite for how many ‘Latinos’ have benefitted from ACA vaguely implies this be referencing Obama’s actions to deliver legality to undocumented immigrants (they’ll never say illegal aliens) hits at the underlying purpose of her article.
But in the end, it’s largely intentional confusion that muddies the water and brings to light what I think is a natural ethnic affinity that some have here to allow illegal aliens to stay here and make them legal - even when there is no value added.
