We wouldn't even be where we are had it not been that 70% of Hispanics voted for President Obama, voted Democratic in the last election. That caused an epiphany in the Senate, that's for sure.

That we be bold in every enterprise:
Then since there is no way, but fight or die,
Be resolute, my lord, for victory.
