Having made significant inroads among Hispanic voters in 2000 and 2004, thanks to Bush’s support for immigration reform, Republicans now can barely count on 20% of that total – mainly among Cuban-Americans – thanks to their strident anti-immigration stance. Thus, if the Democrats demonstrate a minimum of compassion, sensitivity, and realism, they can count on a 7% advantage in the popular vote.
由于布什支持移民改革，共和党在2000年和2004年在拉美选民中取得重大进步。由于共和党人强硬的反移民立场，他们现在只能指望这一总数的20%，主要是在古巴美国人中。这样，如果民主党表现出最低程度的同情、敏感以及现实主义，那么他们就可以在全民投票中得到7%的优势。
