First, many Hispanics liked the legalization of the 800,000 dreamers.
Second, Hispanics are deeply apathetic about the election:
"Compared to 2008, enthusiasm about the November election is now much
lower among Hispanics than among any other major voting bloc.
At the same time, the number of Hispanic voters who said they were more enthusiastic about this election than the last one dropped by seven percentage points in just a month." (via Hot Air)
Why are Hispanics so apathetic?
It starts with the bad economy and the fact that it is disproportionally hurting Hispanics, i.e. 11% in Hispanic communities vs 8.2% unemployment nationwide.
No concern in the Dem party, or frankly much of the Spanish speaking media, for the quality of public schools. Unfortunately, too many Dem leaders send their kids to private schools and expect Hispanics to attend the failing inner city public schools.
Too much talk about immigration reform. When are Dems & the Spanish media going to get the reality that most Hispanics are here legally and are not impacted by The Dream Act?
Yes, Hispanics will stay home in November. They may not vote for Romney but they'll let their absenteeism vote against Obama's policies.
