George Soros strikes again.
The progressive billionaire — who spent his fortune electing prosecutors who have destroyed criminal justice systems across the United States — is turning his attention to Texas, Fox News reports.
The first Mexican-born woman to serve in the US House of Representatives has a warning about why Soros would do this.
And with President Joe Biden's open borders policy disastrously failing to win over Hispanic voters — a failure reflected in Biden's poll numbers — Soros is putting new millions into a state Democrats are trying to control.
“They see Hispanics shifting toward the Republican Party because they realize that we are the party of prosperity, that we want to build a strong economy, that we want to secure the border, that we want to put the people first.” “This is our country and we don’t prioritize people from outside this country,” former Rep. Mayra Flores told Fox.
“I believe that our policies are what win people over, and that the struggle is real.
“George Soros and the Democratic Party see people like me who resonate with the Hispanic community,” Flores said. “They resonate with me. I resonate with them. We have similar stories. I am bilingual. I speak English and Spanish. We have similar stories, and we share this bond.”
This is a bond that Democrats cannot afford to build. A leftist billionaire like Soros can do something about it.
According to Fox, Soros has pumped $3 million into the Lone Star State over the past year, with the money going to at least five liberal groups.
Time and place are crucial.
Texas, saddled with bearing the brunt of Biden's illegal immigration debacle, has emerged as a symbol of the Republican Party. resistance – if this word has not been so distorted by the machinations of the left during the Trump presidency – to destroy the United States as a sovereign nation.
Under the leadership of Gov. Greg Abbott and the Republican-controlled Legislature, Texas has challenged Biden's border policies. And while it lost a big round at the Supreme Court on Monday, when Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the court's liberal justices in a lawsuit over whether the Border Patrol can cut razor wire installed in Texas to protect its border from illegal crossings, legitimacy, and the state pledged to continue the struggle.
This puts Texas in the crosshairs of liberal activists and state media more than usual for a Republican stronghold.
It makes the state – which has 40 electoral college votes – a target for wealthy and influential leftists like Soros.
According to 2020 Census numbers, the Hispanic population in Texas was essentially equal to the white population (11,441,717 Hispanics to 11,584,997 whites) and may now be larger.
This makes for a powerful voting bloc. It is a voting bloc that Democrats, with their support of blatant disregard for the country's laws, acquiesce to to receive millions upon millions of unknown aliens who have not been screened to enter the country illegally.
But Biden's pathetic poll numbers overall — and among Hispanics who are actually American citizens and voting members of the public in particular — show how ineffective this pandering is.
And now George Soros, a man who has bankrolled prosecutors who will not prosecute criminals, is coming to support leftists in Texas against Hispanics who refuse to toe the party's left line.
Flores made history — and made Democrats uncomfortable — when she won her seat as a Republican in a traditionally Democratic district in a June 2022 special election.
She lost the seat in November, when the district's politics reasserted themselves (amid generally disappointing midterm elections for Republicans).
Now she's warning that Soros and his millions are trying to make a different kind of history in Texas, targeting money to left-wing groups in the state to prevent growing Hispanic disgust with Biden's border policies from having a long-term impact.
Democrats have exploited the knee-jerk loyalty of black voters to maintain their power for decades. They're trying to embed the same kind of slavery psychology among Hispanics as well, and use it to turn the nation's second most populous state into the same kind of lawless leftist territory they've already created in the nation's first most populous states. state.
Soros is putting his money where his mouth is, in Texas.
