Are Latinos Taking Over America?

We are an important voting block

The impact of the Latino block was felt in a big way when we helped Barack Obama win key western states and you can count on it being crucial again in 2012’s presidential election. But this year, we flexed our muscle without casting a vote, when, after months of intense protests and pressure from immigrants and activists, President Obama suspended deportations for 300,000 people in order to review each case and make sure that only criminal offenders are being sent back. That’s power.
