You are hard working people, devoted to your families, church and to your communities. Hispanics have fought, bled and died by the thousands in every war in our history. You are builders of small businesses. Studies indicate that Hispanic businesses remain the fastest growing segment of the small business community. Newly arrived Americans don't believe in big government.
Immigrants come to America to escape oppressive government.
I am proud of that. Their support honors me. I want their help to build a better country. In order for Republicans to enjoy the support of a majority of Latinos, we have to listen closely and carefully to your concerns, understand your goals and establish a presence in your community. This new relationship we are trying to forge needs to be nurtured.
