Hispanic group to grill McCain, Obama

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice | July 7, 2008 

WASHINGTON — A leading Hispanic organization is demanding assurances from the two major presidential candidates that they’ll push for comprehensive immigration revisions and dramatically increase Hispanic representation in the federal government. John McCain and Barack Obama are scheduled to appear Tuesday before the 79th annual convention of the League of United Latin American Citizens as part of their continuing offensive to bolster their support among Hispanics, the nation’s fastest-growing minority. More than 9 million Latinos are expected to vote in the November general election. Leaders of LULAC said Monday that they planned to press McCain, the presumed Republican nominee, and Obama, the victor of a grueling Democratic primary race, for their positions on several issues that are important to Hispanics.
