While in English language debates, Obama will not mention the word immigration, his campaign has no problem dropping the word in Spanish language ads (apparently English speaking Latinos don’t care or aren’t interested in immigration?).

The following Spanish-language ad starts to air today in Colorado.

One of Latino’s biggest concerns in this presidential race besides the economy, is immigration. I applaud Obama for at least trying to communicate with the Latino community in there own language. As for those of us who know English, it is well known that like many democratic politicians he’s is for, comprehensive immigration reform. John McCain like most of the other Republican Politicians want to deport almost all of the estimated 12 million immigrants. John McCain is just like Russel Pierce, Andrew Thomas, Joe Arpaio, and Jon Kyle; Racist conservatives from AZ. I live in AZ, but that doesn’t mean that I like John McCain. I have seen first hand the terror and anxiety that these politicians have brought to the Latino community, families are fearful for there future. These are hard working families that have come to this great nation not to commit crime but to provide their children a better opportunity than they otherwise would have had in their own country. I plan to vote this November and I like many other young Latinos will vote for Obama. He is someone who brings change, promise and hope to many of us.

We already know that Obama has, and will continue trying to make change that benefit Black communities and Blacks in general. If he trys the play racial politics from the Oval Office he will be in for a rude awakening when people from every part of this nation voice their disapproval. He knows that such an attempt as pandering to any special interest groups, based on race, will not be good for his political career and he will avoid it.

The biggest concern for Latino Community and non Latino Community is not pandering them instead give them a fair share of the American Pie. All should have equal rights regarless ethnicity, gender, with a concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural and Humane law, fairness and equity.
I know that Anti Immigrants, Nativist, conservatives play a big role on the misstreatment, missrepresentation, scapegoating Undocumented as a criminals, the worst fugitives, The Unwanted people and creating fear against HIS PANIC not only Citizens, Legals and Undocumented Immigrants. But I do not seem Obama either try to make a change the mind of conservative Democrats and as well as Conservative and extremist Republicans. There is too much corruption, faillure programs without proactive measures, There has been promises, hopes and changes that never happen before with democrats and Republicans. How do you think Obama will change their mind set? We need someone to speak the True for the American voters not for personal or political gains. To make it happen he needs to make sure Legislators, congressman’s think on people first rather on their personal and political interests. Or do you think they base they arguments and reforms for the meaning of the constitution?.

We the people and Govern for the people?

” We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”.
