Of course the piece calling discussion of Latinx a “distraction” also urges Biden to move left on immigration and treats immigration policy as the key driver of Hispanic public opinion.

As the parties have polarized on immigration, Hispanic voters have swung toward the GOP, and in an especially pronounced way in south Texas. The problem is “the groups” are opposed to immigration enforcement and must perpetuate the idea that Hispanic voters share their agenda.
Why are Hispanic voters souring on Biden? Well, mostly for the reasons his numbers are falling with the whole population— the economy is the top issue for almost every demo— and there’s also poll evidence that Dem stances on crime/police especially hurt with Hispanic voters.
For two decades, Democrats have been talked into focusing their messaging “for Hispanic voters” on government policy toward people who are not US citizens and therefore are not in the electorate. Of course that doesn’t work.
