Once upon a time, Mitt Romney had a chance with minorities; the very same chance that President Obama had. Actually, he had a better chance. Latinos, Asians and other minorities closely following immigration issues had grown disappointed with the president. You see, Obama promised comprehensive immigration reform during his first campaign and instead he delivered [...]

Over the weekend, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez made a devastating comparison. He said his opponent, Henrique Capriles, is like Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and that U.S. president Barack Obama is a ‘good guy’, hinting his preference and implying a damaging relationship between a virtual dictator and the incumbent U.S. leader.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney only showed up at one large Hispanic conference this summer: NALEO (National Association of Latino Elected Officials). There, he proceeded to unveil his Immigration Reform. Sorry, his legal-only-screw-the-undocumented Immigration Reform.

After five years, counting the campaign of hope, the needle on the promises that once took him to the White House has moved in reverse, leaving millions in a situation than has worsened since President Bush –and nobody thought that [...]

While the Obama camp launched its first ad in Spanish, Latino Republican members of Congress spoke of the many ways this administration has not delivered on promises made during the epic campaign of 2008 (and 2009, 2010, 2011 and, of course, 2012) and has in many ways hurt further a community that massively contributed to [...]
