Latinos left the Democratic party in a mass exodus last week, costing Vice President Kamala Harris the presidency. The 13-point Latino shift towards President-elect Trump noticed along the Rio Grande indicates Ms. Harris’s campaign failed to make Latinos forget the peril caused by her and Joe Biden’s open border.
The Latino red wave surfaced in South Texas. Mr. Trump won 11 out of 13 Texas border counties. The Rio Grande Valley, with a 91% Hispanic population, flipped, creating a Republican majority for the first time in a century. The Latino base showed up for Mr. Trump, with Hispanic men ranked as the second largest demographic group to vote red, according to NBC exit polls.
America’s Latino voting bloc was previously unpredictable by political analysts until the chaos along the southern border became an issue that could no longer be ignored.
The Biden-Harris administration created an invasion along the Rio Grande, which burdened communities across the nation. The unsecure border drastically increased Latino susceptibility towards transnational human trafficking for commercial sex purposes, drug trafficking, and cheap labor exploitation.
Hispanics know these tragic matters affect their community, which explains why 74% of Hispanics polled earlier this year stated the Biden-Harris administration did a bad job dealing with the immigration crisis.
Instead of addressing this top concern among Latinos, Ms. Harris released a campaign promise titled “Opportunity agenda for Latino Men,” which avoided promising stricter border policies, an aspect Latino men searched for in a presidential candidate.
Kamala’s address to Latinos also failed to account for over 300,000 unaccompanied alien children lost by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered over half a million illegal alien minors, 98 percent of whom were of Latin American origin.
The Biden-Harris administration endangered Latino children from the start when DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas repeatedly stated that unaccompanied alien children who crossed the border illegally would not be turned away. » Read More
