Changes

Latinos are diverse: 60% are native-born and 40% foreign-born; 64% are of Mexican heritage, and the other 36% are from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Central America and beyond. They split their vote in 2004, when President Bush appealed for their votes, but voted 2-1 against McCain in 2008 when he made little appeal to them.  Despite their diversity they were united in celebrating the nomination to the Supreme Court of Judge [[Sonia Sotomayor]] in May 2009. She was born to a poor family of migrants from Puerto Rico, and after attending Princeton and Yale Law School made it to the top through very hard work.  Her nomination marked the national recognition and acceptance of all Latinos.
