A widely panned Central American diplomatic tour by Vice President Kamala Harris on the heels of a pivot toward Republicans by Hispanic voters in Texas elections may spell larger problems ahead for Democrats with a constituency central to the party's identity-based rainbow coalition politics.

Harris traveled to Guatemala and Mexico this week to meet with leaders in what was billed as an attempt to confront the root causes of the wave of migrants currently crashing across the U.S. southern border.

The vice president met with a tepid reception in both nations, took political fire for the trip from both left and right domestically, and returned home to a report that the White House was "perplexed" by her rocky debut on the international stage.

This past weekend, Texans elected three Republican mayors in heavily Latino cities, deepening recent GOP inroads among historically Democratic Hispanic voters.

Republican Javier Villalobos was elected in McAllen, Texas, a border city comprised of roughly 85% Latino residents. The significantly Hispanic cities of Fort Worth and Arlington, Texas also elected Republicans, upsetting the narrative that the Lone Star state is inexorably turning blue.

The Rio Grande Valley, where McAllen is located, is densely populated by Hispanics. The former Democratic stronghold has been trending Republican for several elections

Legal immigrants hate illegals

They are mixed. If there are extended family relatives or in-laws or friends, that may mitigate their "hate".

trump gained hispanic and black votes in 2020 which is why Democrats/uniparty had to rig the count.

The strategy should be to get these two clowns front and center as often as possible. Especially Harris, she’s a real dandy.

Latinos who made it here are realizing that the Rats want to make the US to be like the S-hole they came from.

I cannot find the words that accurately describe the depravity and earned dishonor of the Rat party. . . utterly despicable!!!

If Deep State still had a grip on Hispanic voters, it wouldn’t have had to steal the last election.

Not just legal immigrants. The Southwest has an indigenous population of Hispanic Americans whose families have lived here for generations.

That would include me. When I was growing up, illegal immigrants were looked down upon as job stealers and those who refused to assimilate. The younger generation of American Hispanics has been and continues to be brainwashed by the schools into Leftist thinking. Just like the rest of our American kids, I guess.

There are true Spanish people who can trace their family roots back to Spain still living in Texas.

"Texas Historical Press specializes in the history of East Texas – the beginning of Texas. Thousands of the descendants of these original Spanish families still live in the area of Nacogdoches, East Texas and around Spanish Lake, Zowlle, Robeline and Natchitoches, western Louisiana – formally Spanish East Texas.

The same in New Mexico and California where I was born and raised.. Probably here in Arizona too where I live now, but I’m not as informed about that.

The White House knows KH is only fit for sexual favors up to and including BJs.

They’re just acting flummoxed.
