The Battle for Latino Evangelicals

Going back to Ronald Reagan, the Rev. Wilfredo De JesÃºsâ€”the senior pastor of a 4,500-member Hispanic evangelical church in Chicagoâ€”has pulled the lever for Republicans in presidential elections. "I always voted on the issue of abortion and the sanctity of marriage," he says. This time, though, Sen. Barack Obama's message of faith and social justice, combined with strident GOP rhetoric on illegal immigration, has persuaded him to endorse the Democrat. That switch illustrates the extent to which the Latino evangelical vote is in playâ€”a development that could prove decisive on Nov. 4. Though polls show Obama beating Sen.

It should be pointed out, as a matter of fairness, McCain immigration policy as far as I can tell is no different President Bush's.
