With less than a month until Election Day, Republican Senate nominee Carly Fiorina has been reaching out to California's Latino community in an effort to close in on incumbent Barbara Boxer, whose lead has been growing consistently.
Fiorina is currently trailing Boxer by 38-points for support from Latino voters according to the latest LA Times/USC poll.
Fiorina met with Latino business owners in San Diego on Wednesday to outline her plans to cut taxes. She received applause when proposing to “repeal the death tax once and for all.”
Fiorina said that she wants Latinos to “understand who I am.”
In June, Fiorina launched a website in Spanish as part of her “Amigos de Carly” campaign. A blue bus with “Vota Tus Valores,” or vote your values, has been traveling through the state with members of the National Organization for Marriage, many who are conservative Hispanic voters.The National Organization for Marriage will also be launching television ads for Fiorina in Spanish.
Fiorina might have made an impact with conservative Hispanic voters who typically lean to the right based on social issues such as gay marriage and abortion, but her stances on immigration policy will make it difficult for her to garner more support from Latinos.
Fiorina has confirmed her support for Arizona's immigration law, and priorities border control and comprehensive immigration reform are two of her top priorities.
She supports a temporary worker program for immigrants, criticizing Boxer for striking down a proposed program in 2007. The program would have allowed immigrants to seek jobs in the U.S. for three 2-year periods as long as they returned to their home countries in between.
Fiorina has repeatedly said that Boxer is “no friend of the Latino community,” but her own stances on immigration can be contradictory to efforts to build support.
Latino voters will be an important group in the midterm elections, making up 20 percent of the voting population in California.

Nancy Pelosi's, Barabara Boxer culture of corruption
Majority Speaker Nancy Pelosi is most probably the worst offender, when it comes to hiring illegal aliens. Are they picking grapes on her plantations in the Napa Valley, California? As a hypocrite she beats even Senator Harry Reid, in his resolve to force through another Amnesty, on behalf of the estimated 12 to 20 million foreign illegal aliens. Then Pelosi resistance in any attempt to enhance border security, in building the--REAL--double fencing and plot with others to table the E-Verify offering. If mandated nationwide E-Verify would have been a inimitable prevention of businesses hiring people who have entered this sovereign nation illegally. Pelosi voted against the Secure Fence Act of 2006 in building a fence along the American-Mexican border, against requiring ID cards for illegal aliens, against electronic data storage of illegal aliens, and for driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.
She is just one of the wealthy landowners who have taken advantage of a steady flow of cheap foreign laborers and a strict defender of offering a path to citizenship; considered Amnesty by a more moderate press. Madam Pelosi along with her husband own several vineyards assessed around $25 million dollars. Her grapes are not considered table grapes, but very expensive inventory of high end wines. Pelosi should join the rest of hypocrites in the long line of Democrats, including Sen. Reid, Sen. Barbara Boxer who if shown a careless positions in introducing laws to contain this propagating issue. Many low income Americans would have jobs, be able to pay taxes and help stabilize this recessive economy. GOOGLE---Pelosi's shameful record on spending taxpayer’s money is well deserved. The information can be found under the (FOIA) Freedom of Information Act at the "Judicial Watch" website regarding corruption in Washington and in State Capitols.
One of the biggest complaints was Speaker Pelosi’s military travel cost using jets of the United States Air Force in the amount of $2,100,744.59 over a two-year period — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including in food banquettes and alcohol. Then we have ultra liberal Barbara Boxer who has used the race card and has the same Motif-Operandi as Sen. Reid. Voting--YES--on funding Sanctuary Cities; Yes on Comprehensive Immigration Reform--Amnesty; Voted--NO--In declaring English official language of government; Voted--YES--on another Guest Worker program, that like the 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act was offered Amnesty and in addition voted--YES--on illegal aliens participating in our Social Security, providing Social Services to non citizens. In my view as a Tea Party advocate--ALL these incumbents should be shown the road out of town.
