I don’t think so!<\/p>\n — Liberty LadyBug (@LibertyLadyBug) November 8, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n In August, Murdoch had joined with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg<\/a> in a push to convince Mitt Romney to campaign on easing immigration rules for Latinos, who are “naturally Republicans,” he said. Murdoch repeated the call today.<\/p>\n\n\n Must have sweeping, generous immigration reform,make existing law- abiding Hispanics welcome. Most are hard working family people.<\/p>\n — Rupert Murdoch(@rupertmurdoch) November 8, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n Speaking of the fiscal cliff, inflation and unmanageable debt reminds us of the many hard-working family people here legally and looking for work.<\/p>\n\n\n @rupertmurdoch<\/a> @chriskkenny<\/a> Me thinks Murdoch’s new found concern for Hispanics might have something to do with the election result.<\/p>\n — Suren Senat (@suren_senat) November 8, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n And here we go.
