Abstract
Cada año, en promedio, durante su primer mandato, Barack Obama deportó a cuatrocientas mil personas. De hecho, la administración de Obama ha deportado el número de deportaciones más alto, cada año, en la historia de los EEUU. A pesar de esa política, Obama ganó el 67% del voto latino el 2008, y el 2012, gano el 71%. Este proyecto examina cómo Obama ganó el apoyo de tantos votantes latinos en la reelección, especialmente cuando se considera las deportaciones durante su primer mandato.
Barack Obama deported four hundred thousand people each year, on average, during his first term in office. In fact, the Obama administration is responsible for a record number of deportations per year. Even so, while Obama garnered 67% of the Latino vote in 2008, in 2012, he won 71%. This project examines how Obama won over so many Latino voters his second time around, especially considering the mass deportations during his first four years as president.
