Exhibit A as to how the GOP's minority pandering strategy is going...
This is Vasant Bhatt, who was born in America, interned for Ted Cruz's campaign, organized conservative event, etc.
But that goes out the window when it's time to vote in the interests of his ethnic group
I just cast my ballot for James Talarico.
As a second-generation Indian American, I am thoroughly disgusted by the xenophobia, racial resentment, and increasingly brazen attacks on my identity. My family has contributed to the American story through hard work, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in the opportunities this nation promises. I am every bit as American as anyone else, and I will not tolerate being treated as a perpetual foreigner in the country I call home.
I implore every eligible Texan to get out and vote. This election is about the kind of state and country we are prepared to defend—and the principles we refuse to surrender.

"I'm voting purely based on my Indian identity. Also I'm exactly as American as someone whose family traces back to the Mayflower"

A really strong case for limited legal immigration.
Born in America, won’t shed loyalty to ethnicity.
