Latino Activists to Support Texas Sen. John Cornyn for Re-Election, Say His Immigration Reform Plan Is 'OK

Leaders in Texas said in a recent debate that politicians will need to compromise on immigration reform to be successful.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn has been in office for the last 12 years, during which he has resisted granting citizenship to the estimated 11 million undocumented people in the United States, many of which reside in his constituency. However, with Election Day for his Senate seat rapidly approaching, Cornyn seemed to be open to working with Latino leaders on this issue in a debate Friday.

Democratic opposition David Alameel had similar sentiments during the forum.

"I have never voted for [Cornyn], but this time I'm going to, because we have no choice," Rene Martinez, a district director for the League of United Latin American Citizens and staunch supporter of progressive immigration reform, said. "Alameel doesn't have a chance, so I'd rather be standing right behind [Cornyn], and have him turn to people like us for advice."

I swear DC is like Invasion of the Body Snatchers: elect a conservative and in a few years later some liberal, RINO pod-person returns home (only at election time, of course).

Well, never-mind.
