Far from chasing away Hispanic voters, Republicans believe their focus on stiffer border security will win over more of the coveted voting demographic, building on inroads the GOP has made in recent years.
Republicans also rejected accusations that wanting a less chaotic border makes them “anti-immigrant.”
Fox News’ election voter poll showed Republican House candidates won 39% of Hispanic support nationwide in last year’s congressional elections, up from 32% in the 2018 midterm elections. Now, with Republicans having control of the House, advocates say the GOP has the burden to go beyond carping at the president and to produce solutions.Texas Rep. Chip Roy’s proposal to allow a shutdown of the border until Homeland Security can guarantee it can detail or deport all illegal border crossers has run into trouble with some fellow Republicans.
Mr. Roy says his bill would still allow asylum claims but would prevent those migrants from being released into the U.S. unless they win their cases. One hearing, in the Judiciary Committee, featured an Arizona sheriff describing the chaos that has spread during the Biden administration. The other, in the Oversight and Accountability Committee, featured two senior Border Patrol officials who described how the violent smuggling cartels have grown more emboldened in the last couple of years.
