With the US immigration system still lacking the necessary amends, it poses the biggest challenge for the Obama administration and the Congress. The issue also has a significant role to play in the coming mid – term elections. This is according to a recent study conducted on the Latino voting patterns.

The report published by America’s voice projects a positive response to the new policies for immigration. According to it, the revised policies are the key aspect for the Latino voters. The slack in revamping these laws would greatly impact as far as forty congressional races, especially in those localities which have a good number of Latinos. These also involve Senate reelection bids for the Harry Reid who is the Majority Leader and others.

Reforms in immigration could be considered as being a form of test or exam specifically in the communities of the Latin. This is as per the president of the Service Employees International Union – Eliseo Medina, regarding the study in a conference call. According to Medina, this is both a policy as well as an issue about getting respect.

The report mentions that there has been a growth of fifty four percent in the number of registered Latino voters between the years 2000 and 2008. This increase has been seen post the presidential campaign in 2008 by Obama and the Democrats which promised revamped laws of immigration. Additionally, seventy five percent of votes were received from the Latinos in 2008.

However, the reforms are yet to come about must to the frustration of the Latinos. There have been protests for not taking appropriate measures and the slack in pushing for reforms and passing an effective bill on immigration.

All in all, there has been a notion with the Republicans are promoting an anti – immigration policy, much to the dismay of the immigrants.
