The Latinos are becoming potent force in American elections and as more and more get citizenship and voting right they will vote against the Republicans. The anti-immigration hysteria of the last year 2007 was seen as anti-Latino and many talk shows across the country was slamming on Mexicans by name.
Now they will vote for Obama and it may be a Dunkirk for the old savvy McCain!

More than 90% of immigrants from Latin America vote Democratic, immigrant advocacy groups boast.
Just days after the 2006 elections, immigration advocates held press conferences to celebrate claims that immigrant voters decided elections in several states. They boasted that the immigrant vote was the deciding factor in defeating Sen. GeorgeAllen (R-Va.), a strong supporter of border control. They claimed 9,000 Hispanic votes for Democrat JimWebb, who won by only a handful of votes.
The trend began in 1996, when President Bill Clinton demanded that naturalization be speeded up. In fiscal 1995, which ended in October in time for the November voting, there were 488,000 naturalizations. In 1996, the number more than doubled to 1,045,000—a 114% increase. After the election, the number dropped back to 598,000 in 1997 and 463,000 in 1998.
An audit of the 1996 naturalization campaign found that 250,000 applicants were naturalized by short-circuiting background checks. Of those, 75,000 had arrest records and another 60,000 were naturalized with no fingerprint checks at all. It is a matter of mathematical certainty that some terrorists became citizens.
