Garcia: Clinton’s fire wall is curling smoke

Hillary Clinton brought her dented campaign into Texas last week and headed straight for the border. Appearances in El Paso, McAllen and San Antonio were on her schedule as she looked for that fire wall presumed to be hers in the heavily Latino areas of Texas.

The senator from New York needs a big win in Texas to pull out of a tail spin and Latinos are the key to that victory.

Clinton’s Texas ties go back to the 1970s, when she and Bill Clinton came down to organize for the George McGovern campaign. That’s when they connected with Texas Latinos like former state Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos of Austin and maintained the contact. Furthermore, the Clinton presidency played well with Texas Chicanos, so it is reasonable to think Latinos will prop up Clinton’s sagging presidential prospects. The Hispanic fire wall, people are calling it.

That fire wall is curling smoke.”*
