The net effect of this bill is to deliver the Latino vote to the democrats. The democrats LOVE this bill. It’s the rallying issue they need for November.
A LOT of Latinos are more sympathetic to Republican ideas than otherwise. They have small businesses, hate the high taxes and government harassment, and oppose abortion and gay rights.
George Bush was making inroads into the Latino vote—maybe up to 40% in Texas went Republican.
Just 10% of the Latino vote going Republican might take some states for the Republican party.
But, with this issue (which the dems intend to capitalize on,
and portray all Latinos as righteously indignant at the Republicans), the Repubs. might just lose enough support to lose important seats and states in November.
Which means, the Congress will be democratic forever and Obama will be re-elected.
