Hispanics Will Be Important In The Upcoming Elections

Hispanics to play pivotal election role

Politicians on both sides might want to listen up. Using the immigration debate could end up being a big mistake, even if the whole immigration issue has left Hispanic voters with a bitter taste in their mouth for the GOP. As it's been said:

"If the political parties use immigration as a wedge issue, there might be a very big backlash," said Marcelo Gaete, senior director of programs for the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, or NALEO.

"We might become the soccer moms of this election, but we will not become the Willie Hortons," Gaete said.
