1. Rmoney saying he would veto the DREAM act

and Obama giving the DREAMERS the relief from deportation he's giving them - and all Republicans who voted against the DREAM act - to me that shows clearly where the parties are. Even Republicans and Lou Dobson should be in favor of the DREAM act. Those are people brought in illegally as kids. So they have no fault in the case. Wanting them deported too proves to me a racist underpinning - they can't even be kind to the young ones, and they're going to grow up to be "those people."

So it would make sense that Latinos should be very motivated to vote and against Republicans. The voters are citizens, and could be conservative in other ways, but they've got to see the disdain of foreigners as per their race that motivates Republicans. Voting against or vetoing this relief for children is just mean.
