Hispanic Voter Shift

Trump pleads with Hispanic voters as border policies strain support in Texas

Hispanic voters in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, have begun to sour on Donald Trump, blaming the president's immigration policies for financial problems. Jessica Cantu Vuittonet, a coffee shop owner in San Benito, Texas and a construction company owner, Ariel Salinas, cannot find laborers due to the president’s policies. Luis Cabrera, a pastor in Harlingen, Texas who once supported Republican candidates, is now trying to prevent Hispanic evangelicals from voting again. This shift from majority support for Republicans to majority support in modern history is seen as waning rapidly.
