A LETTER TO SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN

You demonstrated it by co-sponsoring the Immigration Reform law in 2006 with Senator Ted Kennedy.

As a Hispanic, I respect and honor your contributions to this country. My own father fought in the Pacific in World War II. He was a veteran who went through hell. He spoke to me about it often. So I believe I understand what you went through.

There are many Americans who don’t understand the deep connection that unites the people of the Americas, for instance, the deep bond between the people of Mexico and the United States.

My Hispanic heritage through my mother is not Mexican. But as a result of this heritage, I’ve learned that we have to fight to unify the Americas. We’re one continent. We depend on each other.

John McCain, I still have a profound respect for you. Please reconsider your position.
