Numbering 10 million and growing, the Hispanic Evangelical voting bloc has become a crucial constituency to court in U.S. politics. In an effort to ensure their voice is heard in the 2012 election, the National Latino Evangelical Coalition has launched "Nuestro Futuro," a voter registration drive aimed at young Latinos and Latinas. "For any candidate to ignore Hispanic Evangelicals in any presidential election, they do so at their peril," says The Rev. Gabriel Salguero, president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition.

It's needed and good to point out that we need to listen to the Hispanic community more often. They have a voice and deserve to be heard!
This will be a big challenge for the GOP who have spent so much time bashing immigrants. As recently as the SC primary they were on this issue with a lot of hateful invective. Too bad these committed "Christians" don't bother to follow the words of Scripture about "welcoming the stranger."
