6. GOP is losing the Hispanic vote with their draconian immigration
bills. This will mobilize a new wave of immigrants to become much more politically active. Generally, hispanics have a low voting turn out, but this will change. Now, if only the dems can recognize this & take advantage of it.

Here in Georgia, Hispanics had a general strike last Friday. A number didn't go to work, shop, or go to school. A number marched in Atlanta by the capital building. They flew white flags from their cars in a show of solidarity.
