RECORD NUMBERS DEPORTED IN 2008 – LEADERS CONCEDE IMMIGRATION REFORM NEEDS TO BE REVISITED

According to an article on the Associated Press:  “Pressure to revisit immigration reform will build quickly from Latino supporters, immigration groups and some business interests. Larger Democratic majorities could help to move a bill through Congress, but those majorities will be built, in part, with Democrats from conservative districts who are wary of going too far. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has said Democrats may have to give up some of their priorities in immigration reform to get an agreement, such as giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.”

The President-elect’s own aunt is an “illegal” – talk about the issue hitting close to home!  If that is not enough to motivate Mr. Obama to revisit the issue of immigration reform then the future Latino vote should be.
