RUBEN NAVARRETTE: McCain and the Latino community
RUBEN NAVARRETTE JR. THE UNION-TRIBUNE
McCain and the Latino community
October 26, 2008
Recently, I was on a Latino-themed radio show defending John McCain. The defendant was accused of abandoning comprehensive immigration reform, turning his back on Latino supporters and associating with a bad crowd (read: Republicans). I didn't give an inch. I was the only person in the discussion who actually knew McCain – from my stint 10 years ago as a reporter at a newspaper in Arizona – and I could attest to the fact that the senator had always gone to bat for Latinos. At one point, another guest scolded me in frustration: “Look, it's not about John McCain. It's about the Republican Party!â€NO AMNESTY
Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

There is another reason why his standing is so low which is that the minority of Latinos who oppose amnesty is larger than the per cent that back McCain. However they recognize that with McCain so strong for an amnesty where they stand on amnesty is a wash and they might as well vote for Obama, vote for a third party candidate or claim to be undecided.
I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

"Latino-themed, latino community, etc." Why is it that everything associated with these people has to be prefaced with the word "latino." Talk about creating divisiveness....

Still, McCain's following among Latinos is evaporating. A poll by Zogby International found that 21 percent of Latinos support McCain, compared with 70 percent for Democrat Barack Obama; the Pew Hispanic Center ranked it 23 percent McCain and 66 percent Obama.
I asked McCain what in the world is going on. He blamed part of it on “heavy negative advertisingâ€Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Divisiveness is rampant, not only by ethnicity and race, but also by gender and religion and perhaps these days there is even a division between those that believe in weather forecasts being accurate and those not.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Two points. First Navarrette's been masquerading as a journalist for years. Too bad he hasn't learned a thing and has no more experience than he had the day he began. He quit the Dallas Morning News and moved to San Diego to be closer to HIS people. In this short article, he uses the term "Latino" seventeen times. But from reading much of his drivel, I'd opine he doesn't yet know the difference between Latino, Hispanic, immigrant and illegal alien. With so much ignorance, he might not know what Mexican means.
