Poll: Most Latinos do not want local police to enforce immigration
Nearly one in ten Hispanic adults say that the police or other authorities have stopped them and asked them about their immigration status, according to a nationwide survey released Thursday by the Pew Hispanic Center.
The survey also found that 81 percent of Hispanic adults said that immigration enforcement should be left mainly to the federal authorities and not local police. In addition, 76 percent said they disapprove of workplace raids.

According to AP, U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled that the law at the time of McCain’s birth automatically granted citizenship to offspring of U.S. citizens.
