But he doesn't represent the present" - Bush and Gingrich support comprehensive immigration reform, but the GOP does not, including Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a fan of Arizona-style immigration legislation. <br /><br /><br />The Republican Hispanic Conference in Miami, Florida, starts this Thursday Evening, January 13, 2011<br /><br />NPR - National Public Radio<br />Jeb Bush Guides Republican Outreach To Latinos<br />by The Associated Press<br />MIAMI January 13, 2011<br /><br />http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=132888548<br /><br /><br /><br />Some excerpts :<br /><br />"Jeb Bush represents the future of the Republican Party. But he doesn't represent the present," Rosenberg said.<br /><br />Bush and Gingrich support comprehensive immigration reform, but GOP leadership must still satisfy those who want to focus solely on border security, including Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a fan of Arizona-style immigration legislation. That state passed a law last year that requires immigrants to carry papers proving they are in the country legally and requires police officers to check the immigration status of any person they reasonably believe might be in the country illegally. A judge has placed those provisions on hold pending hearings on their constitutionality.<br /><br />Scott will be among the keynote speakers Thursday night at the conference in the Miami suburb of Coral Gables. Others include the co-chair, former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, as well as Puerto Rican Gov. Luis Fortuno, former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe and Texas Sen. John Cornyn.<br /><br />Coleman said he's proud of the diverse perspectives the conference will offer and hopes it leads to serious debate.<br /><br />"So much of immigration is about tone," he said. Coleman added that newly elected Florida Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez talk about immigration and border security "but in a tone that is helpful and respectful."<br /><br />But neither Rubio nor Martinez will be at the conference, nor will newly elected Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval. Coleman said both Sandoval and Martinez come from faraway states and have just begun their jobs. Rubio spokesman Alex Burgos said the senator would be working on official business outside of South Florida but declined to release a public schedule for the day.<br />.Defensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21674624.post-66132784448890567042011-01-12T11:34:53.998-05:002011-01-12T11:34:53.998-05:00Congrats on the book.
