Immigration Reform Debate

Xavier Rivas, a Republican activist working on John McCain's Nevada Leadership Team, shows a card featuring a photo of Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, walking past an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Friday, Sept. 26, 2008, in Henderson, Nev. The man who once risked his career on an immigration reform bill that was embraced by Hispanics is now struggling to win these same voters, and falling perilously below the level of support that helped lift President Bush to the White House. The candidate who won nearly 70 percent of Hispanic voters in his last bid for Senate in border-state Arizona is watching a first-term Illinois senator run away with those voters.
