Why do the Texas border counties almost all vote Democratic?

Southern Texas voted hardcore red this time around.
You are wrong. The border region, and around the major cities, were mostly either Harris, or close to tied. That is the way it has been for years now.

NOT A CURRENT MAP.
It is the most current results for the 2024 Election.

trump did slightly better in the border area than he did before, and even barely won counties he had lost before, but he still does much worse in the border areas, and around the cities, than he does in the rest of Texas.

We can debate as to why that is, but not that it happened.
 
Indeed.

Walter was wrong…again.

Walter-“You are wrong. The border region, and around the major cities, were mostly either Harris, or close to tied. That is the way it has been for years now.”

Wrong…poor Walter.

Trump won the border area and the Catholic vote.

“The Catholic vote on Tuesday broke for former President Donald Trump by a large margin nationwide and within swing states in the 2024 presidential election, according to exit polls published by the Washington Post, the Associated Press, and NBC News.

According to the Washington Post’s exit poll, Trump won the national Catholic vote by a 15-point margin: 56% to 41%. This shows a much larger victory for Trump among Catholic voters than the Post’s 2020 exit polls, which showed Trump with only a five-point lead above President Joe Biden, 52% to 47%.

The shift represents a 10-point swing in favor of Trump from 2020 to 2024.”
