Most analysts support amnesty for illegal immigrants, so their analysis and commentary is biased towards the arguments that Republicans should not pursue tougher enforcement policies, least they anger the growing "Hispanic vote". This includes supposedly conservative Fox News.
The truth is that while the Hispanic vote is certainly growing, for the foreseeable future the Hispanic vote is a negligible when compared to the anti-illegal immigration vote.
There are Americans of Hispanic ancestry that are also moderates and conservatives and oppose Illegal aliens also.
Even though at times it's assumed that they're united in support of the Illegal Alien agenda they have also seen the negatives of unchecked illegal immigration and had to experience deteriorating neighborhoods and infrastructure associated with it.
As for Illegals they can't vote anyway. The LAST thing they want is the General Public to vote on this issue as they would lose.
That's why they're hoping for a political deal, sympathy ploy or an executive order. As they realize they're lost without it.
That's something that should definitely be looked into and those involved should be arrested then deported.
Now that Osama has been killed it will be interesting to see what Obama tries to take on next.
Hopefully this great news buries the pro -Illegal agenda for quite awhile.
Why do I have a feeling that agenda will not die...I have a feeling this man is going to try and use his new found "glory" to try and gain support to put his Dream Act into place as well as other things...

You maybe right, but it WILL reverse any gains he has made by the recent death of Osama and will be the end of his Presidency.

No matter how you spin it, there are more than 50 million legal spanish descendant people in usa, and possibly 20 million undocumented people of spanish and non spanish descent, that's a big force, but what's the implicarion? that if you are spanish you are pro undocumented?? who told you that?????

I've been saying that for two years on Internet boards. The Hispanic vote is over hyped. As long as the GOP frames this issue as a jobs issue they will be ok.

Um no. There are 50 million Hispanics of whom 11 to 20 million are illegals. there are probably another 5 to 10 million legal Hispanics who are not citizens.
Then you have the fact that even among citizen Hispanics they have considerably lower turnout than Blacks & Whites. So during the last presidential election around 7% of the electorate was Hispanic, little more than half of the Black percentage.
These phenomenon played out starkly in Arizona during the last gubernatorial race. Jan Brewer won by 20 points in a state that is 1/3 Hispanic. She was heading towards defeat before she signed AB 1070. It's ironic that signing the most stringent immigration law in the nation led her to victory in one of the most Hispanic states in the country.
