SANTA FE, NM (By Jon Garrido, The Jon Garrido Network) January 28, 2012 ― National Republican Leaders/Candidates view the Hispanic community as being the Cuban Americans of Florida. At 4% of America's Hispanics ― they are not. Not even Puerto Ricans at 9% are America's Hispanic community. 87% of America's Hispanic/Latino community are from Mexico (63%) and from Central and South America (24%). Yet 87% of America's Hispanic/Latino community are the forgotten people in this 2012 campaign. It is as if 87% of America's Hispanics/Latinos did not exist. Thank God for the 2010 U.S. Census and the Brookings Institution who know how to count.  The United States is at a crossroads regarding the growth of the Hispanic community.

SANTA FE, NM (By Jon Garrido, The Jon Garrido Network) March 7, 2012 ― On December 12,  2011, the United States Supreme Court agreed to decide the constitutionality of Arizona’s S.B. 1070. Justice Elena Kagan, who served as Solicitor General when the Arizona law was challenged in the lower courts, will abstain from ruling. The loss of Kagan significantly increases the probability of an affirmative vote to uphold Arizona S.B. 1070 making Arizona S.B. 1070 the law of the land. With this forthcoming United States Supreme Court ruling, Immigration Reform becomes crucial to the welfare and future growth of the Hispanic community in America. We all know Obama is a gigantic failure to obtain Immigration Reform. We all know Obama has deported 1,200,000 Hispanics and lied when he said he had no choice. If Obama is re-elected, Immigration Reform will never be achieved and another 3,000,000 Hispanics will be deported.
