From the San Francisco Chronicle:
A record 10 million Latinos voted in 2008 - two-thirds of them for Obama - out of
more than 23 million registered Latino voters. Immigration reform topped the policy
wish list of Latino voters in an April survey by impreMedia-Latino Decisions. Obama's
speech Tuesday in El Paso, Texas, was light on specifics but he attempted to reframe
the immigration issue "as being about legalization" rather than the need to secure
the U.S.-Mexico border, said Louis DeSipio, a professor of politics at UC Irvine and
an expert on the Latino electorate.
