This is why the Democrats push things like DREAM whether they have the votes or not. This is why they push immigration reform even when it isn't popular with the overall public.
The left is then using our votes against these measures to poison our standing amongst Hispanics - and the MSM is gleefully helping them.
If we don't begin making major inroads in the Latino vote, we are in serious trouble. There simply are not enough white people moving to the Republican party fast enough to offset this rapidly growing Hispanic population that increasingly votes Democrat.
Perhaps Rubio will be ready for a VP slot in 2012. Something that may help reverse this overall negative trend we are facing amongst this voting demographic.
Eventually the white liberal democrats will be replaced by the Hispanic liberal democrats. Then the white liberal democrat will regret all those “votes for effect”. I doubt I’ll live to see it and for that I’m grateful.
