Hispanic Activist Threatens GOP Over DREAM Act

Clarissa Martinez, director of immigration and national campaigns for the National Council of La Raza, said: “The most immediate repercussions are that, particularly those members in states where the Latino population has political influence, they’d better watch out.â€
