Una de las mayores organizaciones de hispanos republicanos de Estados Unidos, Somos Republicans, otorgó este lunes su respaldo al expresidente de la Cámara de Representantes, Newt Gingrich, que compite para la nominación de su partido, rumbo a las elecciones presidenciales.
“Creemos que Newt Gingrich conoce la importancia de la comunidad latina”, señaló el grupo en un comunicado, en el que subrayó que los hispanos se han convertido en un “factor clave” en el futuro del país.
“Mientras los otros candidatos parecen obviar este hecho, Newt Gingrich ha estado trabajando duro durante muchos años para incluir a los hispanos estadounidenses en la conversación general para lograr un Estados Unidos mejor”, añadió.
Gingrich intensificó a finales de 2011 el debate republicano sobre la inmigración con su propuesta de legalizar la presencia de millones de personas que llevan décadas en el país.

“We are urging residents to please go home and stay in until it is all over,” government spokeswoman Beverle Lottimore said.
Those who did venture outside were met with howling winds, and gusts of hurricane force were reported by midday. Flooding was reported in low-lying areas. Streets in downtown Hamilton, the capital, were covered in several inches of water and littered with tree branches and other debris.
Igor’s eye was expected to pass over or very close to Bermuda late Sunday, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. But with hurricane-force winds extending up to 90 miles from the storm’s eye, even a near-miss could cause substantial damage. go to web site category 1 hurricane
The storm was expected to veer northeast – away from the United States – after passing Bermuda. But forecasters said it would continue causing high surf and strong rip currents along the U.S. eastern seaboard.
In Mexico on Sunday, officials raised to 12 the death toll from Hurricane Karl, which made landfall on Mexico’s Gulf Coast on Friday.
