It tells you that legal immigrants are not happy with Obam’s open borders.

Every poll shows that jobs, the economy, Obamacare are the top issues with Hispanics, Strong foreign policy with Hispanic males. The obsession with single issue immigration is totally out of proportion to realiBty.
Yes, many Hispanics are pro-illegal. But that doesn’t mean that it is how they vote. Yes, many Hispanics are pro-life. but that doesn’t mean that it is how they vote.

Hispanics are just like most other voters. They vote for who seems friendly and their friend. Most voters do not vote ideology. Those of us who do are freaks.

I would beg to differ with you that these are “legal immigrants” that voted.

They probably more resemble the other makeup of Texas being 5th or higher generation American Citizen.

I have spent my 50+ years around these people of South Texas and feel that Davis’s pro Abortion stance was one of the key issues that turned these people away from her to Abbott.

I see Abbott winning them over moe with time. I just hope that he does not turn pro illegal alien and he does turn more secure border. We will see.

Every poll shows that among Hispanics, the immigration issue is low priority..about #10. Obamacare, jobs, the economy, taxes, education, crime, foreign policy, abortion all rank higher than immigration.

The same is true of whites and Blacks. Give them multiple choice on immigration and they will choose one of the choices. But for only 1% pro and 1% con is it a deciding issue in the voting booth.

Those of us who feel strongly on immigration are a distinct minority.

Most others feel strongly about their insurance premium going up 20% while their deductible doubles and their choice of doctor goes down.
