For a while, I was concerned that the growing Hispanic population in Texas would turn the state purple and eventually blue.

However, Hispanics in Texas are considerably more conservative then they are here in CA. I believe Gov.-elect Abbott won about 45% of the Hispanic vote in TX.
Here in CA, the GOP is usually gets about 20-25% in statewide contests.

As Abortion Barbie found out, A large percentage of Hispanics hold to Catholic beliefs.

Cecilia Abbott, being the granddaughter of immigrants from Mexico didn’t hurt either.

I think anyone who considers a place a home for themselves and their kids is axiomatically conservative; their ethnic origin is irrelevant. If they consider the place to be more than just a host to parasite from, it’s in their rational interest to protect and preserve it, and make it prosper.

Hispanics in TX own their own businesses. They have no desire for the food stamp party.
