The President has nailed down the Hispanic vote with todays speach giving waivers to illegal immagrants who have lived their whole lives here,stayed out of trouble and where educated here with our tax money.In spite of the moron heckler I think this is a great idea that even the right wing supported at one time and that will put them on the defensive trying to explain why they changed their minds.
We all know why the right changed their minds.It is politically popular to bash immagrants in hard times.During the great depression the marijuana tax act was passed to drive away Mexicans who loved to smoke pot.
If the President wins over Hispanics then it is going to be hard to beat him in several swing states like Colorado,Nevada,NM or even some far right wing states with big hispanic population.
I think this is a smart move that may force Romney to distance Himself from His political base and hurt Him this fall.
