Why Are Latino Voters Shifting to the Right?

            Leftists do not want to admit it, but Latino voters are shifting to the right according to polls. According to Mike Gonzalez at The Heritage Foundation, a recent survey explain that the large population of Mexican Americans in Texas loves the United States. 

… The results of a survey of 608 “Hispanic adults” living in the state of Texas, conducted in February by ethe Texas Public Policy Foundation, is the best evidence. When asked if they agree with the statement that “America is a land of freedom and opportunity,” 83% answered yes, while 15% said no.

Respondents also feel extremely proud to be Texans. In fact, 84% respond affirmatively and 69% state they feel “very proud.” And they feel even more proud to be Americans. To the question “Are you proud or not proud to be an American?” the results were even better, with 87% to 89% affirmative responses.

Trust in government increases with proximity. A total of 58% say they trust the federal government, 62% trust the state government of Texas, and 70% say they trust their local government.

They see Republicans s the educational rights party, and that’s great news for them. And this conviction is supported by more than three-quarters, 78%, who said they supported the type of school choice where the money follows the child, even if the parent puts him or her in a private school.

… 73% recognize that there is a border crisis. In fact, in the list of issues that they found important for the Texas Legislature to address, border security was tied t No. 1 with immigration reform, and both were just 1 percentage point ahead of education.

            According to Gonzalez, the Mexican Americans do not consider themselves to be victims of discrimination or racial hatred. In fact, they feel like “they were masters of their destiny” and “responsible for their own failures.” Gonzalez added that the “Mexican Americans are deeply proud of their cultural heritage.” “People who are proud of their heritage tend to want to preserve it, not transform it, and people who want to preserve it, not destroy it, are naturally conservative.
