McCain courts Hispanic voters

Postby Balam99 on Mon, May 05 2008, 10:29 PM

(CNN) -- Sen. John McCain said Monday the tenor of the immigration debate has hurt the way Hispanic voters view the Republican Party.


Sen. John McCain lauched a Spanish-language Web site on Monday.

"I believe the majority of Hispanics share our view that the border must be secured, and the border must be secured first," McCain said in Phoenix, Arizona.

"But they also want us to have an attitude which I think most Americans do, that these are God's children and they must be taken care of."

The senator from Arizona used Cinco de Mayo as a launching pad for a new Spanish-language Web site on Monday, and he emphasized his stance on immigration and border security as he tried to court the Hispanic vote.

Republican strategists have said McCain has to do well with Hispanic voters to win in November. When President Bush was re-elected in 2004, he received 44 percent of the Hispanic vote, but that was before the divisive political debate erupted over illegal immigration.
