First, Some of those voters have relatives from Mexico, and having people campaigning on keeping your relative out tends to "sour" the vote.
Second, Some of the anti-immigration legislation has victimized people who were already here as citizens -- however, the loose-wording of the law and the use of racial profiling has (again) hit voters
The point is that the voters dont exist here in a vacuum, and they see what is happening and what is being said and how they are being caught up in it as well...
