Illinois Senator and Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama arrive yesterday to Southern California to get the Latino vote in Los Angeles. Obama was received by approximatley 300 people at Garfield High School located in East Los Angeles where the heart of the latino community is present. He talked about various topics that are part of his campaign agaenda but his main points or concerns where on education and immigration. He critisized Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, who on Oct. 10 vetoed the SB 1, “The California Dream Act”, whcich would allow students of an illegal immigrant status to receive scholarships for their college studies.
"That was wrong," Obama said, "Instead of driving thousands of children who were on the right path into the shadows, we need to give those who play by the rules the opportunity to succeed."
Another topic Obama was defensive about was immigration. He supports a constructive plan or program to help legalize the millions of immigrants in the U.S. as well as a secured border. As well as working with Mexico to create jobs in Mexico and to stop U.S. companies from hiring illegal immigrants, which would stop the flow from Mexico to U.S.

"When people say, 'Oh, send 'em all back' -- we're not sending them all back," he said. "People aren't telling the truth. We would have to use all our law enforcement resources. We couldn't go after gang bangers, we couldn't go after auto theft. We'd have to use every single law enforcement officer to go around and round up folks who are working at restaurants."
