This letter to the editor (Atlanta Journal and Constitution) seems to suggest that recent Immigration reform may not be applauded throughout the Latino community. No pleasing (or buying) some people.

His actions, as usual, were not meant to pander to voters, especially targetting a group like Latinos, but to address a specific issue and deal with it as he sees best.

Period.

Most latinos will vote democrat, just like they always have. Bush only got 30% of the vote. Letting illegals vote just gives another 70% of 10 million new votes to the democrats.

Look at the way the letter is constructed. I promise you that this is a fax from the DNC with someone's name on the bottom. Normal folk don't call the Education Bill the "No Child Left Behind" Act. Opinion hustlers in Washington do that.

In short, a mass e-mailing designed to convince gullible editors that Latinos must stay with the Democrats. There are probably copies of this same letter with minor variations being sent out by Democratic activist women all over the country.

But it won't matter; Bush will win enough of the Latino vote to crush Dean in the Electoral College.

Be Seeing You,

"Like white American voters, I want my children to feel secure and be proud of their country, but I also want a fair share of that American pie filled with hope and dignity, a decent-paying job, quality health care, a good education and clean air to breathe and water to drink."

From that statement, by Mrs. Tucker (a latina married to an anglo maybe?) I got the impression she's now got what she wanted [the 'American dream'] and doesn't feel like sharing it. Just my opinion.

Does this have Karl Rove written all over it? Silly question maybe, but do we think California might actually be in play in November? I'm thinking the strategy on this was to swallow hard and hope for a net vote gain when everything is said and done... and in all probability that is what we'll get. Mighty risky though, definite pander. Personally I'm holding out for more details. I don't think it is fair to call this amnesty though in the traditional sense.

Clearly this writer is more concerned with putting Latino children on the affirmative action gravy train than with real immigration reform.

It sounds like she is saying "sure, Bush wants to remove a big weight from millions of my people so they can make a life for themselves legally, but where's my guarantee of a handout?"

For the life of me, I don't see how this proposal by Bush
does anything for legal immigrants in this country: the ones that can vote.

Like white American voters, I want my children to feel secure and be proud of their country, but I also want a fair share of that American pie filled with hope and dignity, a decent-paying job, quality health care, a good education and clean air to breathe and water to drink.

Like white American voters, I want my daughters to have unlimited sexual relations secure in the knowledge that my prospective grandchildren can be ripped from their bodies upon demand.

Like white American voters, I want my sons to be able to marry other people's sons without guilt.

Who says foreigners can't assimilate, this lady has the RAT American dream down pat.
