No candidate can become president without the Latino vote.

The Latino vote has to be earned just like any other.

Latinos have enough voting power now to decide elections, and every smart politician knows this.We can't afford to give our vote to those who alienate us, but neither to those who take us for granted.

The GOP can't even envision winning the White House if we lose a significant percentage of the Hispanic vote.

U.S. politicians are increasingly recognizing the relevance of the Hispanic vote in U.S. politics.

Republicans cannot continue to oppose every Hispanic issue.

I am not interested in splitting the white vote.

There is no more an enthusiastic advocate of legal immigration in the U.S. Senate than I am, and that is a message that resonates powerfully in the Hispanic community.

The vast majority of a significant portion of Americans of Hispanic descent will vote - happen to be working class people who are desperate to not only achieve the American dream but leave their kids better off than themselves.

Unfortunately, President Obama's failed policies of new regulations, higher taxes, and Obamacare and his anti-business rhetoric have hit Hispanics especially hard. Big government really hurts those who are trying to make it.
