The Backstory with Harvey Kronberg 2: Hispanic Voters Identify as Conservative

In today’s episode, Frank and Harvey take a deep dive into the
mechanics of the Hispanic/Latino population. How do they vote?
What do they value? How can Democrats and Republicans do a better
job of making them feel heard?


Frank’s guest, Harvey Kronberg, is a first-generation immigrant
and a serial entrepreneur, owning Austin Flag and Flagpole with
his wife Michelle and publishing the Quorum Report.


There seems to be a shift happening in the majority of the
Hispanic population in America, and Harvey and Frank discuss
possible reasons as to why it is happening. The Democratic party
is often incensed at the Republican’s comments about illegal
immigration, thinking they’re stepping in for the Hispanic
community. 


However, polls show that most Hispanics in the U.S. are in favor
of border control. On the other hand, Republicans think they are
speaking to the heart of Hispanics regarding social issues when
the data shows many Hispanics care much more about their family's
safety and well being. 


Since many are also entrepreneurial, they also seek the same
freedom to provide for their families and communities in a way
that brings them fulfillment. This failure to truly understand
the hearts of the Hispanic community has caused many Hispanics to
be in a “freefall” of loyalty as to which side to cast their vote
on because they just don’t feel understood. 


The party that can most genuinely lay down its own stigmas and
biases to be open to the needs of this community, will likely see
massive amounts of support and dedication from the Hispanic
community in the upcoming elections.
