Voters in Texas could be in a position to determine who becomes the Democratic presidential candidate in a tight race between Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on 4 March. The unlikely position of Texan voters has propelled their issues to the forefront of the national debate over immigration, and few are more important to Texan voters than the proposed construction of a wall between the US and Mexico.
Apart from the hundreds of families such a barrier would prejudice, there are some 2.5 million registered Latino voters in Texas. For them, the symbolism of a wall is just as important as the actual barrier between the US and Latin America”*
