George W. Bush:
Will Bush Change the Way Latinos Vote in 2004?
The Republican party has for years wanted the Latino vote and has done many things that would make average American think the majority of Latinos would lean to the right. From the "celebrating of Cinco de Mayo" (Salinas, 2002) to talks of a mass amnesty granting to illegal Mexicans in the United States, the Republicans have tried pretty hard to get the Latino vote. But studies show that many (47%) Latinos consider themselves "moderates" and are known to vote based on "candidate's position on the issues" (Hernandez, 2001). Though there may be many questions, I hope that this paper will answer all of them.
George W. Bush has done it all. His weekly address is in Spanish and he speaks of the Latin blood that runs through his family. He has done whatever possible to get the Latino vote and attention. Something he is doing must be working because he received 35% of the Latino vote, which is 10% higher than the average for republicans from 1986 to 1996 (Hernandez, 2001).
With so many Latinos to impress these questions need to be asked: First, will granting amnesty to all illegal immigrants from Mexico in the United Sates really help anything? Second, Is there something that can be done besides amnesty? Third, What does the average Latino look for in a presidential candidate?
Well I will start with the touchiest subject for most Americans...Amnesty. On July 17th of 2001 Bush proposed an amnesty deal and it didn't go very well locally. I never really paid much attention to the immigration situation in our country until I heard the affect it had on people.
