Now, I know Senator McCain used to buck his party on immigration by fighting for comprehensive reform, and I admired him for it. But when he was running for his party's nomination, he abandoned his courageous stance, and said that he wouldn't even support his own legislation if it came up for a vote. Well, for eight long years, we've had a President who made all kinds of promises to Latinos on the campaign trail, but failed to live up to them in the White House, and we can't afford that anymore. We need a President who isn't going to walk away from something as important as comprehensive reform when it becomes politically unpopular.I'm really not sure why there are any Latinos voting Republican, it should be just like African Americans, with almost all voting Democratic. Seriously, why vote for a party that tries to demonize you for votes and tries to punish you for doing what any American would do if the situation was reversed?
