EliseoMedina of the Service Employees International Union says Latinos are so fired up about Republicans' advocacy of fiercer immigration laws, and the police harassment they fear will come with them, that they will turn out to vote for Democrats.
Gaining legal status "would make it much easier for these workers to join together and improve their working conditions by joining a union, " said EliseoMedina, secretary-treasurer of the SEIU, who labeled passage of immigration legislation as the union's top priority this year.
