In an
article published on CNN’s website, Tom Cohen summarizes Mitt Romeny’s appearances
on televised forums appealing to the Latino community. Both candidates know that the Latino
community is the fastest growing ethnic group in America and I believe that if
not in this election, then in future ones, they will be a big voter bloc both
parties will have to try and win over.
Obama has already given the Latino community reason to back him. This summer he implemented deferred action
for young illegal immigrants which allow them to apply for a valid work permit
for up to two years. This I believe gave
him a great standing with Hispanic voters and put Romney in a bit of a tricky
situation. When asked if he would deport
those young immigrants that would benefit from Obama’s plan he just said that
he would implement a “permanent solution to the problem”. That does not answer the question! Romney
needs to stop tip-toeing around the issue.
He needs to let the public know what his “permanent” solution would
be. He needs to let the public know
what he would with Obama’s already existing program. Since he already stated that he is against
the Dream Act, why would Hispanic Americans choose to back him in this election?
Anyone interested
in this upcoming election I think would be interested in this article. It hits many concerns Latinos have, and shows
how Romney is not really answering the questions he is presented with regarding
these concerns.
