Leaders of immigrant rights and Latino groups told reporters in a conference call on Wednesday that Obama owes his second term to Latino voters, and should repay them by passing comprehensive immigration reform. Obama promised to pass a law legalizing many of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country while he campaigned four years ago, and he’s been chastised by Latino leaders for breaking his promise.
“Obama is going to return to the White House more energized to take these issues seriously,” said Ben Monterroso, the director of Mi Familia Vota, a national organization that encourages Latinos to vote.
