Immigration and Latinos voting

The article I read today was from cnn.com. This article was all about the immigration laws that are in Arizona and other states and the laws that the Republicans are trying to pass. The article states that because of the Arizona law and many other copycat laws against the Latino immigrants, the GOP is in reality ruining their own campaign. With these laws on the forefront, the Latino population is beginning to keep the immigration laws on their mind and by doing so they are more likely to vote Democrat. The DREAM act, which stands for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors, enables Latino immigrants to earn their citizenship by going to college or serving in the military. The GOP is against this act. By the GOP being against this act and being in support of the Arizona laws, the Latino population is beginning to turn their backs to the Republican Party and look more closely at the Democratic Party. Since Latinos are the single-largest ethnic minority in the United States, and that they are unhappy with the actions of the GOP, there is a large chance that there will be an increased turnout in support of Democrats. This could lessen the chance the Republicans have to gain the majority in the House and Senate. With this vote, the Republican Party could lose the Latino voters that they had to begin with and that could end up not only being a short term effect, but also being a long term effect.
