The latest Latino Decisions column by David R. Ayón published on the Univision news website this week examines how Latino voters, leaders, and organizations might respond to President Obama’s decision to put off executive action on immigration until after the November election. The decision to delay action undercuts Latino voter enthusiasm in significant fashion. Ayón proposes a constructive response from organizations and leaders would press the President and the Democratic Party to invest in Latino voter engagement to offset the negative effects of delayed action.
Urge contrarrestar los efectos del golpe desalentador de la postergación. Se deberían de canalizar mayores recursos a las campañas de candidatos latinos y de promoción del voto latino a través de la nación. El presidente es el campeón mundial en recaudación de fondos y además puede presionarle a su partido para que haga lo suyo.
