For Texas GOP, immigration politics show signs of fading potency
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Texas Republicans are experiencing a shift in their immigration stance as the urgency of the issue declines among voters. Initially united against the Biden administration's policies, the party now faces internal divisions, with some candidates advocating for immigration reform that offers temporary legal status to undocumented residents. Recent polls indicate that immigration is no longer the top priority for many Texans, with inflation and the economy taking precedence. Despite this, GOP leaders, including Governor Greg Abbott, continue to leverage immigration issues against Democrats. The upcoming midterms will test whether immigration remains a potent campaign issue for the party.
