McCain Talks American and Latin American Politics

Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain is drawing upon the Latin American community (in this case Cuban Americans in Miami) for voter support in the upcoming primaries. This article is illustrative of how the Latin American communities in the United States have become more and more powerful voting blocs, and how political campaigns are focusing more attention and resources to those communities.

In McCain's campaign, however, there is a suspicious underemphasis on the issue of immigration, and he quickly evades questions having to do with whether Cuban Americans can visit their families in Cuba more easily in the future.
