and statewide offices in places like Houston and South Texas are making major investments in bilingual outreach to convince these voters to cast their ballots for them.The Houston Chronicle interviewed 20 bilingual and Spanish-speaking voters in Houston and in border communities including Edinburg, Brownsville and Laredo. Republicans and Democrats from 19 to 78 shared their take on the border, immigration, guns, crime and healthcare — issues they said mattered to them in the upcoming election.
Rodolfo Guajardo Jr., 62, a lifelong Laredo voter who leans Republican, regularly grabs breakfast with his dad, a Mexican immigrant, and brother at Los Jacales restaurant, which serves up classics like huevos rancheros, migas and black coffee for a local crowd. It’s the kind of place where people still shake each other’s hands and strike up conversation, in Spanish, English – and more often than not: Spanglish.
Also eating breakfast at Los Jacales was 42-year-old Gabriel Orozco. In Spanish, he explained his frustration with the government’s failure to limit the number of people who cross the border into the United States. Border voters’ sentiments that they lived in safe communities differed sharply from Harris County voters who participated in the survey. Nearly all of the voters – both Democrats and Republicans – interviewed in Harris County said they didn’t feel safe and they were worried about crime.
