how is the latino population-latino voters in arizona -- how are they dealing with that? are there problems? is there going to be a battle over trying to tight 'the voter i.d. requirements? is it a photo i.d. requirement? >> really quickly. arizona's voter i.d. law was put -- voted on by the citizens of arizona back in 2004 with proposition 200. it was challenged in federal court. and it was shot down at the district level and it was going to be put on appeal but the marion county indiana case rendered that moot. the decision in which indiana has a tougher i.d. voter law than arizona so challenge to arizona's voter i.d. law were dropped. basically requirements you have to have a picture i.d. not a state driver's license, for instance, and the important thing is that your address you're registered to vote at has to match the address on the identification. so this hits populations that are more mobile than others, younger than others, and that's latino voters. >> is there a sense that this was targeted towards latino vote or a sense it will be used to try to tamp down on la

so is there a difference between latino leaders and latino supporters? does this look for to the fact that the republican part is maybe getting ahead of the game and will do better in the future? or are we look at the fact where republicans have made us in roads and are still unable to attract the latino vote. and the congress for democrats. are democrats in a position to go comfortable that what they have done is secure a strong basis of latino voters and they can count on a? or should democrats be worried with some of these voters? i think these are things you hear different perspectives. now that i've made time for some of you to arrive, let me turn it over to the real post here, and before i do that, let me acknowledge those of you who came in after me. good to see all of you. tamar jacoby, president of immigrationworks. >> thank you for coming and thank you for being on time. i'm tamar jacoby, president of immigrationworks u.s.a. a national federation of employees, mostly small business owners were to provide immigration law. we are on the advocacy

you're not latino. you come here and all of this a sudden you are latino. what does that mean that we're seeing a change. at the about 47 of latina's today are foreign-born generally. most are the children of immigrants. with the electorate we are seeing that. we're still having multi generational latinos from the southwest. we are starting to see those are being more conservative appeared on abortion believe abortion should be legal. marriage is shifting. it has shifted in the past five years. there is still a good chunk of that in a -- electric. the question is with social issues. it is not if you're going to scare voters away. we believe those that vote is close of the for those issues are religious people that are going to vote for the candidates. nobody is not going to go against the candidates because of their position of latin marriage. >> it is a place where we are not looking to the future. we're counting on the older ones. >> you will be surprised with the children of foreign-born latinos. they are still much more conservative than the rest of the

and non-latinos." and the fact that norton invests in a project like this and puts it, as skip says, in the high scols and coegesis crucial, but it is crucial also to go beyond that realm and say, "look, american literature is far more than hemmingway and mark twain." american literature is made of a number of different chambers, a number of different paths, and we can approach it from different perspectives. literature in the end is a mirror of how society has been seeing itself across time, and when you enter skip's anthology or when you enter the latino anthology, you're able to navigate through time and see the complexity of... of many moments that are coming together. >> hinojosa: all right, so let's start with... because there's a lot of history here and we want to cover a lot of things, but so what... what is an important moment in time for the both of you that where latino and african american literature kind of intersect? and before we get to the present, so an important moment in history? >>

barack obama won 79% of the latino vote. more than enough to give him almost every swing state and the popular vote. and with the latino population growing faster than any other, the future looks bleak for the g.o.p. either the republicans begin to attract more hispanics or latinos or they're headed the way of the do-do; so some republicans in the senate have proposed what they call the achieve act. the watered-down version of the dream act. and in the house of representatives, on friday, runs actually passed what they call the stem act, which increases the number of certain visas. will those moves make a difference among latinos? will it bring them back to the gaap? fasten your seatbelts as i ask republican congressman raul of idaho, and lower at any rate sanchez of california. >> both welcome. i'm delighted to have you on the program. congresswoman sanchez, do you think this will make a difference in terms of the allegiance of voters for the republican party? >> listen. latino families and all american families should unde

i mean, i think there isn't a -- you can't say latinos and speak for all latinos. there are evangelical latinos who are naturally conservative republicans, and, but also care very deeply about immigration. and i think the republicans are beginning to realize in states like texas and colorado, that they, if they do the right thing on immigration, they actually may be able to survive. but if they don't do the right thing on immigration, they're going to lose even people who might be their natural constituency. >> yeah, they don't need to win a majority of latinos to win the white house. i mean, in colorado, they lost 70-30. if it would have been 60-40, they would have won the state. >> or florida. a huge electoral state. >> marco rubio now is sort of trying to woo the republican right from the latino perspective. >> right. latinos are also, i mean, it's not an electorate that's, you know, stupid. this is an electorate that can see through what are sometimes these fake bills that offer something but not a whole lot. >> all right. fascinating discussion. thank you so m

the republicans lost latinos because of immigration, for example, or the youth for a variety of reasons. those are all true, but focusing on that too narrowly denies that there is a problem with the republicans economic message. here's my small criticism of you, christine. >> make sure it's narrow. >> i think it's a larger macro view over elections. look, republicans have lost five of the last six popular votes for president. i think the republican economic message is having trouble resonating with the middle class. the middle class seeing how it makes their life better, when pitted against an opponent who says i can do things like address your student loan debt, i can address your health care issues by giving you specific programs. >> you're talking about the whole gifts controversy. >> i think that gives credence to the gifts controversy that shows one party can give you specifics that says this is how i'm going to help your life. the other party is trying to present a broad economic message that's somewhat abstract. >> how do republicans change that message, because we're in the midd

it goes to latinos. it goes to the latino electorate which really flex eed its political mussel.because of the growth of the population and the record turn out, but because of where they are. latinos are strategically placed in red states. and they're pushing these into light red, into purple. and eventually, it's going to the take a little bit. texas is going to turn blue in four years or eight years, but it's going to turn these traditionally red southern states into other states. >> is julio castro one to watch? >> julio? he is. he is. i give him some time. he's in a tight position because he would not make it statewide in texas. he doesn't have a jumping off point and he's term-limited as mayor. but he's going to have to bide his time and come back. i give him ten years. >> although, if you have to say, if you did have a democrat from texas, who could win texas statewide, what an incredible force they would be on the national level. if you could, in the future -- >> it's going to be george p. if we're going to see a latino in texas, it's going to be george p. bush. >> as some

is it because the latino community seemingly striking at them and other immigrants? >> it was a very important moment for the latino community because, for the first time, on a major issue, the latino community could see that the fact that it came out, that it turned out in the presidential election made a huge difference. it could make a huge difference in terms of the policy direction of this country, specifically on immigration reform. and it's night and day. i mean, you play their clips before the election and after the election. and, as folks say, elections have consequences. and one of the consequences is, and the republican party recognizes, is that they need to support comprehensive immigration reform. now, hopefully, they can work that out. >> one of the things that i think you brought home during the democratic convention is the personal investment that many latino scitizens have and those that want to be in trying to attain the american dream. this is not something anti-american. this is pro-american by people that are citizens here. and want to see their

that's up from 9.7 million latino voters in 2008. the voter turnout effort is all part of a joint campaign between grassroots organizations like mifamilia vota or now is the time in english. from the meet the press style discussions to one station that even, apparently, coordinated rides to polling sites, clearly none of it was done in vain. jointing me now ben my family votes for those of who you are nonspanish speaking out there. ben, good to see you, again. >> it's a pleasure. thank you for having me. >> do news stations risk being seen as partisan through these get out the vote efforts given that the majority of hispanics vote democrat? >> not necessarily. i mean, quite frankly, i mean, we should not be looking at the latinos as democratic voters. i mean, quite frankly, latinos register like any other citizens. and it seems to me like at this particular time it looks like the democratic fighters are doing a much better work than the republican side because the republican side has dedicated the last two decades, in my opinion, to

by doing it piecemeal they continue dividing the latino community.hat's not in their interest. >> in the exit polling, a large percentage support comprehensive immigration reform. that wedge we've seen tried before between african-americans and latinos doesn't exist. so point being the momentum seems to be there for comprehensive reform and yet what you have the republicans put forward just a few weeks ago was not comprehensive reform. >> that's exactly right. not only is it not comprehensive, they're not even listening to their constituency within their own party. the ivivaevangelical movement h said we need some sort of comprehensive immigration reform. you're not talking about stapling visas to doctoral students but the valedictorians and dream act kids. that's the importance with the republican party is you're seeing their base shifting, but the lawmakers, they, themselves, refuse to. >> let's hope we keep the pressure on the president and get this done. thank you maria teresa kumar. don't have the hops for hoops with your buddies? lost your appe

that every single african-american, latino-american is poor, is on public welfare?on't think so. and to categorize us and to make generalized statement like that, it just needs to stop. and i guess he did not learn anything from his loss. we are growing in numbers. we are recognizing our power and we are utilizing our power and we will continue to do so. i don't -- you know, i just don't what is the problem with gifts? i was a person who received gifts. first of all, they didn't feel like gifts to me. going to school on a lunch card was very hard. standing in line to receive a block of cheese was very hard. wearing hand-me-downs to school was very hard. yes, my aunt was on welfare. but am i? no i benefited from the program when carter was president. don't ask me how old i am. >> i remember the seater program. >> and i benefited from it and i worked hard for it and it was a program that offered employment for young people that were disadvantaged. and i bust my butt for that. and i started that at the age of 12 and i never stopped working. >> just like many americans

you can't just say hispanics or latinos in the united states. it's not one gigantic, monolithic group. it's made up of a variety of different people who come from different countries. mexican-americans are by a mile the large of that group. the largest of that group. and so there's one issue, the demographic issue based on country of origin. then you have to take a look at his positions on immigration, and that's so important to mexican-americans, to guatemalan-americans, to salvadore ran-americans, to cuban-americans. and marco rubio has talked about changing the tone on immigration for republicans, but he's also taken some positions in the past that could potentially be liabilities for him. he said that he would be in favor of the arizona law that's derided by some as the papers, please, law. and he's against the original dream act. and so those are positions that he will be pressed about as his national profile rises and that he'll have to reconcile if he wants to scoop up a whole lot of hispanic votes and bring them to the republican party.
