The committee called "Together for Romney" work in areas such as Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Nevada and New Mexico, some key battleground states that will have an important weight in the election on November 6.Official estimates calculated a record participation of at least 12.2 million Hispanics suffrage in the winter, so this population group will be decisive in choosing the next U.S. president. Recent polls give 61 percent of the vote to Obama and 27 percent to Romney in the Hispanic community.

But the U.S. president as pursues the shadow of broken promises and achieve comprehensive immigration reform and improvements in key social indicators for the sector, which led to great advantage to get to the White House in 2008. During his three years, the Democratic administration broke the record for deportation of undocumented figures only in 2011 exceeded the 400 thousand people.

In this period, and in the absence of comprehensive immigration reform, states like Alabama and South Carolina seeking to formalize measures that criminalize immigrants and call for their expulsion, which racial profiling has been denounced by organizations defending civil rights.

And they will. Most of us know that the Democrats are using the term 'immigrants' instead of illegal aliens, and people have begun to complain about it.

In addition, Obama is trying hard to make this an issue about illegal aliens.. not jobs, jobs, jobs and I don't think they like that either. Republicans will get the Citizens.. the Democrats will get the illegal aliens.
