Axios links immigration-enforcement concerns to Democratic gains in Hispanic areas

Axios’s reporting adds a wrinkle to the border-security argument. It says Hidalgo County voters were motivated by a sluggish economy and the historic immigration crackdown. In Harris County, voters cited immigration, corruption and GOP leaders’ policies; 72% of voters in its Hispanic precincts backed Hinojosa. Axios says voters wanted a secure border and undocumented criminals removed, but did not sign up for enforcement in their own neighborhoods. Wanting border security, in this account, did not mean welcoming enforcement on the block.
