For example, in Iowa you stated that you would immediately veto the Dream Act. Mr. Gingrich proposes to push an essential part of the Dream Act which offers citizenship to those young men and women who serve in military. Last Tuesday in Florida, you openly agreed with Newt on a partial acceptance of the Dream Act, reversing your original stance on the matter. It appears you find it “dishonest” to consider yourself Mexican-American, even though your father was born in Mexico. Under that same pretense, would those of us born in the United States, but have parental ancestry from Mexico, Venezuela, Columbia, Cuba, and other Latin American countries, be dishonest in claiming ourselves as Americans It is clear to us that you have not provided a real solution on behalf of the 12+ million immigrants who live in the shadows of the American communities. You fail to dignify the economic refugees who reside, work, pay taxes, and are otherwise productive citizens in this country. In stark contrast, Mr. Gingrich has a true history of supporting our community. He says we he means, and means what he says. As examples: As Speaker, he pushed through the Cuban LIBERTAD Act, which codified the embargo on Cuba, authorized aid to dissidents, and set the framework for principled engagement to support a genuine transition to democracy Newt Gingrich pushed humane immigration laws, including the NACARA act (authored by former Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart) to ensure that we kept our pledge to those who fled the Sandinistas in the 1970’s. Newt Gingrich is the only candidate that has offered a humane approach to our immigration problem. He understands how inhumane and unrealistic it is to deport 12 million undocumented immigrants. He proposes to secure the border, deport criminals, and recognize the remainder through temporary work permits, and through establishing legal status for those with American sponsorship and deep ties to their communities. Newt Gingrich proposes to push an essential part of the Dream Act which offers citizenship to those young men and women who serve in the military. Newt Gingrich supports a referendum for the people of Puerto Rico to decide between independence, statehood and continued commonwealth status. Newt Gingrich has for years shown active support by reaching out to us, our organizations and our community to better understand the real concerns of American Hispanics. His interest in us did not begin last Tuesday in a Florida debate.

Wow, although I still back Newt all the way this is the best news I've seen for Romney in a long time. Works against Newt for Romney.

Having said that, Mitt Milquetoast is a phony so his stated positions mean nothing. He could get elected and do a 180 on every single position he has taken in the primaries, nobody would be surprised.

“We’ve come to our decision based on our belief that your support of the Hispanic community is not a clear representation of what we need.”

i.e., we need amnesty.

More evidence that time doesn’t favor Romney. With each passing day, the natural flow of information will enlighten the public about his policy and character flaws.

Racists. They base their decisions on the color of their skin. Imagine if whites did that.

Not exactly a great endorsement of Gingrich, a letter from pro-illegal, open-border hustlers praising his weakness on immigration.

The title you created :

"OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNOR ROMNEY FROM HISPANIC LEADERS: 'We are unable to support you.' "

did not match the publisher's title at the source you linked and had to be changed.

To prevent duplication and pulled threads, please do not make up your own title for a published article and please do not edit any published titles. Just copy and paste the published title found directly above the article.

Thanks.
