Hey Joe, we all know how Sanchez got elected. More votes than there were voters. Si Se Puede!

Hey Great One, how come you don’t say anything about all my Silvio Rodriguez posts? Don’t you hate him because he’s a commie? Or are you proud of him because he’s cubano como ti?

It did pass, but was unconstitutional.
Illegals, btw, don’t use much of the services, due to fear of deportation.
The hospitals in particular got hit hard because of uninsured Americans. Yet another reason for universal healthcare…

Nothing is permanent, but…
After Pete Wilson’s anti-immigrant campaign, Latino US citizens indeed registered to vote in large numbers, and the first thing was, they threw out B1-Bob Dornan and elected Loretta Sanchez.
While, because of their Catholic faith, the first generation of Latino immigrants tend to vote against things like gay marriage, they still vote against anti-immigrants. Granted, McCain has a pro-immigration record (he was co-sponsor of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill that unfortunately failed in the House), but the Republican Party platform was clearly anti-immigrant, and as long as that’s the case, immigrants, Latino or other ethnicities, are more likely to vote for the Dems.

Art,

“Permanent” – really?

Protestant Latinos the “most conservative” ?? I doubt that.

Aren’t most conservative Latinos of the Catholic faith?
