A new report by Latino Decisions about the growing Hispanic vote in Texas outlines opportunities and challenges for both the Democratic Party and the GOP. Although Hispanics represent a large swath of the electorate, weak turnout levels have undercut their power at the ballot box. At the same time, their numbers are growing and these voters are closely connected to the immigration debate.
Both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have much to gain or lose in Texas depending on how they handle the issue of immigration reform. CONT.
