That's why it's so important for us to pass the DREAM ACT. We've got a lot of young people who graduated from HS here and can do great things. Should have a chance to work and go to college and not be deported. Deferred action is a small step in the right direction and made A LOT of young people and their extended families hopeful. I predict Latinos will turn out in big numbers for the President.

that said Latino support for Obama was 73% nationally. That is a historic high, and VERY bad news for Romney!
