It is a fundamental demographic fact - Latinos comprise better than 40% of the Texas population.
That steadily growing number should translate into formidable power at the polls, but unlike most midterms, a significant number of Hispanic voters in the Lone Star State have swung their support to conservative candidates."It's real. That split is there," said Sergio Lira, President of LULAC Houston.
Lira believes much of the Latino drift can be traced to South Texas and the turmoil on the border - a trend identified by polling for the Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation which found 52% of likely Latino voters support sending the National Guard to the Rio Grande, and a slight majority of Hispanics support construction of a border wall.
Macarena Martinez is rallying Latino votes for the Republican National Committee and says the collapse of public safety is also attracting Hispanic support for the GOP. "Especially down in South Texas. It's the border. It's border issues. It's something that's permeated Texas and almost nationwide. Even here in
and other major cities where its crime that's being propelled by Democrat run cities and Democrat policies that are causing our crime to skyrocket," said Martinez.
