MCALLEN, Texas – A prominent Republican businessman from Texas says he has warned GOP leaders that Hispanics will turn away from the party in the mid-term elections due to the federal government’s overreaching immigration enforcement.
Massey Villarreal, president and CEO of Precision Task Group, Inc., spoke at a meeting co-hosted by the Rio Grande Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Texas Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Coalition. The event, held at PNC Bank in McAllen, attracted Hispanic Chamber of Commerce leaders from across the state.
He told the chamber leaders about an op-ed he had just co-written with businessman Sam Sanchez for the Wall Street Journal titled: “Why Trump Is Quickly Losing Hispanic Support.” He asked the chamber leaders to distribute the column far and wide.
