The 2010 U.S. Census when finalized will reveal the northern states will loose members of the House of Representatives and the southwest will gain members. The Electoral College that elects the President of the United States is determined by the number of congressmen (435) and senators (100) in each state plus 3 electors from Washington DC totaling 538 electors. In 2008, Obama received 365 electoral votes to win over McCain who received 173 votes. The 2010 U.S. Census gain will primarily be a result of ever increasing Hispanics in the USA. This translates into more Hispanic voters primarily in the southwest. In 2008, Hispanic voters delivered California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Florida — and were the tipping point in delivering arguably North Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania. For 2012, there will be significant more Hispanic voters and unless Immigration Reform as promised is delivered by the Obama Administration, maybe we should sit out the 2012 presidential election to send a message, Immigration Reform is our priority and it is urgent Immigration Reform be approved in 2010. The Senators Charles E. Schumer and Lindsey O. Graham Blueprint is a sham. Luis Gutierrez's bill criminalizes the undocumented.   We should not accept any plan unless it includes all items that are important to us.   We have great influence with our Hispanic votes. It is now time we achieve Immigration Reform without punitive measures.

Only Way to Stop AZ SB 1070 and Spreading across USA: Immigration Reform

Frustrated by Obama and Congress not Enacting Immigration Reform under Big Democratic Majorities, Hispanic News makes High Stakes Stand

In the past two election cycles, Democrats have gained seats in key states where the Hispanic vote is exploding ― including three seats in Arizona, two seats in New Mexico, and seats in such states as Florida, New York, and Texas. Tellingly, Democrats now control all nine districts that border Mexico.

But Republican candidates facing competitive primaries often steer to the right to try to score support from the most-ardent conservative activists. In Nevada, where Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid faces a difficult re-election test, all six of his potential Republican rivals voiced support for the Arizona law during a candidate forum just after the governor signed it.

If Hispanics reject Republicans, Reid will benefit perhaps more than most; Hispanics make up nearly 25 percent of the Silver State's population, and they were about 15 percent of the electorate in 2008, according to exit polls. A boost from Hispanic voters might be all Reid needs to inch across the finish line. And that is a trend Republicans are already seeing far too often across the country.

And it is an open question whether the Hispanic support for Immigration Reform will translate to high voter turnout on Election Day 2010 and 2012.

The Republican Party got badly burned when Congress last considered Immigration Reform in 2006. Some Republican legislators, including Sen. John McCain, championed a bipartisan bill that would have provided a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants. But this proposition outraged the conservative base, who decried it as an "amnesty" for law-breakers. The right-wingers won the day ― their attacks torpedoed the legislation.

But this victory came at a cost

George W. Bush worked hard to woo Hispanic voters, hoping to bring them into the Republican fold. In the 2008 presidential election; however, Hispanics flocked to vote for Obama. Such fights "underscored their divisions ― between their rural and conservative blue-collar supporters and their more business-oriented and pro-trade segments of the party," says Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg. And the party has yet to recover from the fallout. "Republicans ought to be embracing them instead of chasing them away," says Davis, referring to Hispanic immigrants. "It hasn't. It’s gone from bad to worse in some ways."

The emergence of the Tea Party has only widened this rift within the conservative movement. Perhaps the person who best illustrates the division is former House majority leader Dick Armey, a vigorous proponent of Immigration Reform. Armey, however, is also the head of FreedomWorks, which has played a key role in organizing the Tea Partiers ― whose activists can regularly be seen bearing signs with nativist slogans at their rallies. In fact, a group called "Tea Partiers Against Amnesty" is organizing protests across the country this week.

Recently, these two factions have started to clash out in the open. Last month, Armey called anti-immigrant crusader and former Republican representative Tom Tancredo a "destructive" force in the Republican Party, adding "the Republican Party is the most naturally talented party at losing its natural constituents in the history of the world." His comments prompted a vehement backlash from conservatives like Michelle Malkin, who slammed Armey as an "amnesty stooge." Similar rifts can be seen in Arizona's Republican Senate primary race, where the Tea Party-backed candidate J.D. Hayworth has assailed McCain for his role in crafting the 2006 immigration bill. Though McCain has lurched right on the issue ― going so far as to call for the National Guard to be dispatched to the Arizona border ― he remains cagey about whether he'd support the kind comprehensive reform bill that he once championed.

Of course, tackling Immigration Reform presents political pitfalls for Democrats, too ― labor unions would surely protest any move to expand the guest-worker program, especially with unemployment numbers still high. And Reid himself seems to have cooled on the idea, saying this week he wouldn't raise immigration during the current work period, which ends by Memorial Day. But Davis, the former NRCC chair, offers some strategic advice. If he were a Democrat, Immigration Reform "would have been been one of my first orders of business. If you were to pass it...it would bring eight to 10 million new voters" to the Democratic Party, Davis says. "Game, set, match. I'm surprised they've waited this long."

It is all about racism rearing its ugly head toward Hispanics

Former President stating Republican Congressman Wilson's shout "You lie," was directed to racism.

Former President Carter is right about racism but Republican Congressman Wilson's shout of "You lie" was not directed to President Obama being black but to Hispanics.

When Republican Congressman Wilson shouted "You lie," the shout was directed to America's undocumented Hispanics being included in any health care reform proposal being readied for "mark up" by House and Senate committees now drafting health care reform legislation.

Undocumented Hispanics are not included but the very thought undocumented Hispanics would be included infuriated Republican Congressman Wilson to the point of raging racism causing the blatant attack on President Obama calling the President of the United States a "liar."

Republican Congressman Joe Wilson's hatred for Hispanics is shared by many Republicans and this venomous attack on undocumented Hispanics is not only aimed at the undocumented but is directed to all American Hispanics.

To have this hatred rise its ugly head in a joint session of the Untied States Congress clearly substantiates a Republican fear of the growth of the Hispanic community across America.

Fear of growth of Hispanic population in America

Singling out Hispanics because of fear of the growth of the Hispanic community in America is a caldron of hate being cooked by Republicans toward Hispanics because with American Hispanics now turning to support the Democrats and most importantly, because of the substantial growth of American Hispanics now at 17% of America's population and growing by 1% per year.

Nowhere was the impact of this Hispanic growth felt as much as the 2008 presidential election when Hispanics turned away from Republicans and supported the election of a Democrat enabling a black named Barack Obama to become President of the United States.

American Hispanics carried California, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Florida. In the 2010 congressional elections, American Hispanics will add Arizona and Texas (if we get an Immigration Reform bill approved this yeas as proposed by Hispanic News and not the Schumer proposal) giving American Hispanics one third of the electoral votes in electing the next President of the United States.

Thereafter, with each succeeding presidential election, American Hispanics will add additional states. It will be forever more American Hispanics who will decide who becomes President of the United States.

This trend is known by all and is greatly feared by Republicans because Republicans know American Hispanics will never again support a Republican to become President of the United States. In addition, Republicans are fully aware American Hispanics will never vote for Republican candidates in local, state or congressional elections.

The hatred of Hispanics is the root cause in such states as Arizona

The hatred of Hispanics in Arizona is the root cause of Arizona SB 1070. Arizona leads the pack of states where hatred of Hispanics is the root cause of such states cutting back essential services and programs. Arizona is where conservative white Arizona legislators are adamant about not raising taxes to pay for essential services required by not only by Arizona residents but specifically, Arizona's undocumented Hispanics.

In conversation with a Republican state legislator from Fountain Hills, Arizona, the woman legislator believes Arizona has no responsibility to educate the children of the undocumented and for the good of Arizona, undocumented Hispanics and their children should go back to Mexico.

Across the United States, this sentiment of Hispanics should go back to Mexico has an adverse impact on assimilation of American Hispanics not only in Arizona but throughout America.

Arizona Republican legislators are cutting back on essential services and programs such as education but even more immediately devastating is the lack of health care for Arizona residents and the downward spiral each day of decreasing the Arizona's heath care services that have an impact on all low and middle income Arizonans which includes Arizona American Hispanics.

The best thing for the future of Arizona is too now work to replace existing conservative Republicans in the Arizona State Legislature with those with families and those who support the inclusion of Arizona's Hispanics.
