Will Arizona's Immigration Law Encourage Democratic Hispanic Voters?

In Newsweek's article, Will Arizona's Tough Immigration Law Fuel Hispanic Turnout for Democrats?, Arian Campo-Flores responds to those that think Arizona's new law will mean a rise in Hispanic, democratic, voters. He says that, although Hispanic voters are angry at this new law, they are feeling discouraged from voting for democrats. According to a poll, while only 3% of Hispanic voters outright blamed the Democrats for the new immigration law, over 70% felt like the Democrats didn't do enough to block it. This has lead to disenchantment with the government among Hispanic voters.
This article is significant because it shows that voter apathy is a very real issue in our society and can be brought on very easily, as soon as an ethnic group feels that they are not being well represented, or that everyone is working against them.
We feel that, if the Democrats want to win the Hispanic vote, they must do more to show that they have their best interests at heart, and do more to block bills that are unfavorable among Hispanic voters.
