    Today's Huffington Post front page reflects what I have been saying for some time - the road to the White House goes through Latino neighborhoods. Nobody can deny the power of the Latino vote and the immigration issue in what happened yesterday. More here: http://bit.ly/ReadyToWork

    In state after state and in the nation as a whole, Latino voters made the difference for President Obama and for Democrats. It was an act of faith that Latino voters pulled the lever in overwhelming numbers for President Obama who has deported more than a million immigrants. Now, the President must work with Congress to live up to that faith. I am ready to work with the President and anyone else who is serious about solutions for the American people and for immigrants. -LVG

    Jose M. Quintero, the first DREAMer in Illinois to receive his work permit, spoke with OurTiempo.com Los Angeles and offered some advice to fellow immigrant youth: "go out there and fill out your D.A.C.A. application NOW – there is no need to be scared. If ever in the future anyone tries to take our work permits away and deport us there will be uproar."

    Since 1848 US Latinos have had to fight for the right to vote. Across the nation Latino voters faced - and continue to face - intimidation at the polls; but this November 6th we will not be intimidated, we will exercise our hard-won right and VOTE! All signs point to record turnout among Latinos voters in 2012. -LVG

    Chicago Sun-Times Editorial:

    “The more people know about the reality of immigration, the more open they are to immigration reform and finding ways to include immigrants in a path forward,” said Rachel Bronson, vice president of studies at the council. “It seems like something is easing now, and there may be room for improving a broken immigration system.”
