Thats a pretty big chunk of hispanic support..why? Any texan here? Why would they vote Trump?
Why would anyone
Well, in South and Central Texas, a large chunk of Hispanic people are Tejanos, the Spanish-speaking people of Texas who have been here since it was a colony of Spain. They consider themselves culturally distinct from Mexican-Americans, so it's quite possible that they might not be as favorable of immigration as other Hispanics whose families migrated here in the past few generations. I'm truthfully not quite sure where Tejanos tend to fall politically, since most of them tend to live south of Austin. Anyone know of any polls/studies?
Also, lots of deep cultural conservatism. God, gays, abortion, all that jazz.
