Actress and Voto Latino co-founder Rosario Dawson spoke about the role immigration will play in the upcoming presidential election in an interview with The Daily Caller.
Dawson brought up Romney’s tie to the Latino community — his father was born in Mexico.
“Having his heritage be something that’s going to be really exciting for a lot of people to talk about and be really important for him to be speaking about — what that’s meant to him as an immigrant — as part of an immigrant family and story,” Dawson said.
Dawson contrasted Romney’s roots with the Obama administration’s record setting deportation of illegal immigrants.
“I think he’ll draw a lot of people in, but I think the Republican party has really sort of pushed away the Latino vote and the Latino conversation in such a negative way that I think it’s going to be very difficult for him to kind of get them on board. So that’ll be something that he can really use to make it very personal and that will be really important for him,” Dawson commented.
