Dems Not Letting Immigration Reform Rest in Peace

16:50 H | Topics: Immigration - Politics

Call it a ploy to make sure they keep (get) the Latino vote, but Howard Dean, scream queen and President of the Democratic Party, is saying that just because the senate said immigration reform is dead doesn't mean it really is. Instead Dean wants Latino voters to put their hopes on Dems being able to pass smaller bills like the DREAM Act and the AgJobs program (aka the new Braceros). Dean is sitting on the laurels of the 2006 election and how the famous Latino swing vote helped to change the congress (not enough to pass immigration reform though). In the Q&A Dean touts the Dem's use of Spanish language radio ads (I only listen to public radio so I missed them) and other outreach efforts.

So do you buy what Howard Dean is selling? Read the entire Q&A here (in Spanish) and weigh in.

Do I even need to say how I feel?
