Muñoz made the comment during a conference call with reporters about Sen. John McCain’s new Spanish-language ad, which claims that Sen. Barack Obama got in the way of immigration reform last year. Muñoz said Hispanics watched the reform debate closely last year and will recall that it was the Republicans, and not the Democrats, who defeated the bill.
Both McCain and Obama have a record of supporting comprehensive immigration reform (meaning an overhaul that would include legalization for the undocumented). Frank Sharry of America’s Voice said today he’s become less optimistic that McCain would follow through with that position as president; that his “enforcement first” approach may ultimately mean “enforcement only.” After all, Sharry said, the current crackdown doesn’t seem to be selling hard-liners on the notion of legalization. Instead, hard liners are celebrating. He likened the strategy to “giving an alcoholic a drink and hoping they want to get sober tomorrow.”
