3 Hispanics Rising: Executive Summary At 15% of the US population today, Hispanics are now America s largest minority group. Over time this fast-growing population will grow to almost 30 percent of the total US population, and will be the central driver of turning America into a majority-minority nation by This very rapid and profound population change is changing political alignments in the US. Early in this decade George W. Bush s remarkable success with this electorate was critical to both of his Presidential victories. In 2005, however, the national Republican Party repudiated successful Hispanic strategy championed by the Bush family, and adopted a much more anti-immigrant, anti-hispanic strategy that was instrumental in fueling the 2006 immigration rallies, and swinging Hispanics significantly to the Democrats. The 2008 cycle saw a continuation of this GOP narrative, and a Democratic Party embracing, tentatively, the new demographic realities of the 21st century and one of its most visible battlegrounds immigration reform. The Hispanic electorate stayed with Democrats: In six battleground states critical to the Electoral College - CO, FL, IN, NM, NV and VA increases in Hispanic turnout helped tip these states for Democrat. This significant swing of Latinos votes, was instrumental in electing Barack Obama to the White House. Data from this election cycle shows that the Hispanic community is still with Democrats and still wary of the GOP, but their intention to vote trails far below the national average. This is a change, a sign perhaps of their disappointment in Washington s continued inability to resolve the issue so close to their communities and their families immigration reform. How the two political parties manage this issue this year and in the years particularly given the fuel a new law in Arizona has added to the fire - will be critical to shaping the Hispanic population s future political path, and given their numbers, perhaps the nation itself.

More than one of every two people added to the nation s population between July 1, 2007, and July 1, 2008, was Hispanic. There were 1.5 million Hispanics added to the population during the period. According to the US Census Bureau, of all those living in the United States, 15% are Hispanic and approximately 12% speak some Spanish at home.

16 Section 3: General Elections: GOP Recognizes the Power of the Hispanic Electorate

17 President Bush Pioneered a Modern Hispanic Strategy for the GOP Remarks by Matthew Dowd, chief pollster to President Bush: Republicans have to increase their percentage among blacks and certainly among Hispanics. Washington Post, 7/8/01 We can't survive as a party without getting more of the Hispanic vote. ChicagoTribune, 1/27/08 You can t start to campaign in September for the general election among Hispanics. They are very frustrated with Bush and the Republicans, so McCain has a bigger hurdle to overcome. New York Times 10/22/08 "...the fact (is) that the Latino vote in this country is the fastest-growing demographic of the electorate -- it's grown 400 percent in the last 20 years. Wall Street Journal, 4/3/06

18 President Bush s Team Invested Heavily in Hispanic Media In 2000 Governor George Bush s campaign outspent Vice President Al Gore on Spanish-language media $2,274,000 to $960,000. From its inception, the Bush campaign promised an unprecedented Hispanic outreach program and an intention to run historic amounts of Spanish language television ads in key Hispanic states. In a decision that ultimately may have won Bush the presidency, his campaign and the RNC heavily targeted the Spanish-language television stations in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, and Tampa as part of an aggressive strategy to win the state of Florida. The entire team of top-level Hispanic media advisers to the Gore campaign and the DNC believed that the Gore campaign had not put a high enough priority on the Hispanic Campaign, according to interviews with staff members and consultants. It was the key losing factor, We think that if we had been stronger in Miami we would have won Florida. We could have picked up those thousand votes very easily. -Pablo Izquierdo, Account Supervisor EMM Creative, the media firm responsible for Gore s Spanish language media Advertisements The Hispanic Voter Project: The Hispanic Priority: The Spanish Language Television Battle for the Hispanic Vote in the 2000 Election (2003)

23 Section 4: The GOP Makes a Strategic Blunder

24 GOP Rejects President Bush Hispanic Strategy Adopts Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric The Sensenbrenner bill passed by the House in 2005 calls for making all undocumented immigrants felons. In 2006, this bill led to huge marches, the largest civic demonstrations in the United States in this generation GOP House leader John Boehner refused to take up the McCain-Kennedy bill that passed a Republican controlled Senate with 62 votes including 22 Republicans In more than a dozen states, the GOP ran ads comparing Mexican immigrants to Islamic terrorists.

30 Anti-Immigrant Strategy Prevails In GOP Post 2006 Elections GOP Continue to Alienate Hispanics Republicans defeated the 2007 Senate immigration bill. The Department of Homeland Security No match program, has significant, negative impact on Hispanic families. Under scrutiny from his own party U.S. Senator Mel Martinez resigned as RNC Chair less than a year after assuming the position. In the 2008 Primary Tom Tancredo, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee ran ads attacking Hispanic immigrants. Senator John McCain withdrew support of comprehensive immigration reform.

36 Section 6: 2008 General Election: Democrats Seize the Hispanic Vote

37 Caution from Prominent Republicans I am worried. You cannot ignore the aspirations of the fastest-growing minority in America. Karl Rove, Deputy Chief of Staff and senior advisor to President George W. Bush, aboard Air Force One 8/13/07 At least five swing states that Bush carried in 2004 are rich in Hispanic voters -Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado and Florida. Bush won Nevada by just over 20,000 votes. A substantial shift of Hispanic voters toward the Democrats in these states could make the national political map unwinnable for Republicans... Some in the party seem pleased. They should be terrified.michael Gerson, President George W. Bush's former chief speechwriter and senior policy advisor, Washington Post 9/19/2007

38 During the GOP Primary John McCain Abandoned Latinos [During the 2007 primary season], when McCain was taking a pounding from his party's right wing for supporting immigration reform, he virtually disappeared as Senate Democrats and Republicans tried to hash out a compromise immigration bill. Citing a saying in Spanish, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), co Between that which you say and that which you do, there is a biggulf. Washington Post, 2/20/07

39 McCain Turned his Back on Immigration Reform What McCain is saying has changed. Whereas once he firmly said that no immigration legislation could work unless it twinned tougher border enforcement with a guestworker program and a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, he now maintains that sealing the border must come first In a closed-door meeting with House Republicans last week, he again assured conservatives he had gotten the message. He had been beaten up badly on the immigration issue, participants said he told them... When they went to him and said he had to back a [no same-sex] marriage amendment, he said no. When they said campaign finance reform, he said no. When they said torture, he said no," "On this one, he didn't wait. He said yes. Everybody gets this." said Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.) who worked with McCain on immigration legislation. The Washington Post, 2/20/2008

Hispanics made up 9%of the national electorate. NDN Research (Total Registered) EMR Exit Poll (2008 and 2004)

42 Obama Takes Advantage of the Republican Stumble Makes Huge Gains with Hispanics In 2004 President Bush won 40% of the Hispanic vote the highest share won by any Republican. Since 2004, Democrats have invested much more time and money in pursuing the Hispanic vote by targeting the regions in which they live. Nevada was chosen as the second caucus state in the nation. The Democratic Convention was in Denver. The Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee budgeted $20 million on a grassroots organizing and advertising effort aimed at shoring up the support of Hispanics.

53 Section 7: : Continued Progress Challenges Remain

54 The Triumph of Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor Soaring Hispanic Population will Have a Political Impact The largest and fastest-growing minority group finds itself in an anomalous position this year. In some respects, its stature has never been higher, with the Supreme Court appointment of Sonia Sotomayor signaling that one more historic barrier has fallen to the talent and ambition of the Spanishspeaking community. David Broder, Washington Post, 4/1/2010

55 Record Number of Hispanic Appointments The number of Hispanics nominated to senate confirmed positions exceeds that of any administration in history. The President has Latino advisors at every level in the White House including: Environmental Justice and stewardship-ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior Economic and labor market reform: Hilda Solis, Secretary of Labor Director of the White House Office of Urban Affairs: Adolfo Carrión White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs:Cecilia Muñoz Education: Thelma Melendez, Assistant Secretary for Elementary & Secondary Education Civil rights:tom Perez, Assistant Attorney General at DOJ; John Trasviña, Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing, HUD

56 Meeting the Needs of the Hispanic Community: Legislative Accomplishments Extended unemployment (and modified eligibility in a way that dramatically benefits Latinos) for families in need. Provided support to states -saving thousands of jobs for teachers, firefighters, police officers and first responders. Developed housing initiatives to help families stay in their homes. Invested heavily in education from cradle to career so that everyone can have access to the American Dream. (Latino students make up nearly one in five public school students, but also have the highest drop out rate.)

57 Health Care: Incredibly Important to the Hispanic Community The health insurance reform law overwhelmingly benefits the Latino community perhaps more than any other: Latinos have the highest rate of uninsured and as many as 9 million Latinos without health insurance today will be eligible for coverage under the new health reform measures. Will help close health care disparities in part by lowering costs, expanding access, increasing quality of care, and making it easier for people to get preventive care -vital for a community that sees disproportionately greater numbers in terms of conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

58 The Department of Homeland Security Has Ramped Up Enforcement Straining Its Relationship with the Hispanic Community Report Faults Training of Local Officers in Immigration Enforcement Program: State and local police officers who enforce federal immigration laws are not adequately screened, trained or supervised, and the civil rights of the immigrants they deal with are not consistently protected, according to a report released Friday by the Department of Homeland Security inspector general. New York Times 4/2/2010 Latinos increasingly critical of Obama's record on immigration:. the Obama administration is finding its relationship with this largely Latino community complicated by its mixed and misunderstood record on immigration enforcement..deportations have increased by 5 percent, reaching 387,790 removals in fiscal year The increase in removals is due to a 19 percent rise in deportation of criminal immigrants, but two-thirds of those removed were still non-criminals, and the total reached a record high. Washington Post 3/20/2010 Immigration Activists Denounce Quota Memo: A coalition of immigrant rights groups Tuesday demanded the ouster of the nation's top immigration official, charging that underlings at Immigration and Customs Enforcement were thwarting Obama administration policy by setting a quota on deportations. "The reality is that ICE has gone rogue and needs to be reined in with dramatic action," said Deepak Bhargava, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Community Change. "The agency charged with enforcing the nation's immigration laws is systematically deceiving the president and the American public. Los Angeles Times 3/31/2010

67 The Growth In the Hispanic Population is Having an Immediate Impact on the Electoral Map Hispanics Represent 51% of the population growth in the United States as a whole since This explosive population growth will have an immediate effect on congressional apportionment. In 2 of the states that will gain more than one seat, Texas and Arizona, Hispanics made up 59% of the overall population growth since Hispanics will make up a combined 77% of population growth in the 11 states projected to lose house seats.
