2010 Census Results Could Affect 2012 Presidential Elections

With the Presidential Campaign season quickly descending upon us, candidates may find that a true discussion on immigration reform will be not only advantageous to their election; but required. Results from the 2010 Census are slowly trickling in, and some of the most astonishing numbers indicate a substantial growth in the Latina population. The 2010 Census has revealed that over the past decade the adult Latino population has almost doubled in Nevada, Virginia and North Carolina; but one of the most riveting statistics is the 60 percent or more increase in Indiana and Ohio, historically known as battleground states.

What does this mean for political hopefuls? That it truly is time to focus on Comprehensive Immigration Reform. It means that Conservatives cannot simply ignore the growing problem and that liberals need to truly focus on reform instead of mentioning it in a sound-bite and then glossing over the matter after a successful campaign and election.
