(AP Photo/Jack Dempsey)Denver (AP) - Hispanics should not have to live in fear of raids by immigration agents, Michelle Obama told a Hispanic caucus to the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.

Her husband, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, wants to reform immigration policies and provide illegal immigrants a path to citizenship, she said.

"We would have an immigration policy that brings 12 million people out of the shadows," she told cheering caucus members who shouted "Yes we can" in Spanish.

Hispanics are often the first to suffer in an economic downturn and the last to benefit during a recovery, she said.

She told the caucus that blacks and Hispanics share an interest in providing access to affordable health care, education and economic opportunities for all Americans, not just a select few.

"We all know our country's journey toward equality isn't finished yet. We have more work to do," she said.

Hispanics could play a key role in the November election, especially in the West where the Obama campaign has been courting them.

Researchers say that although Hispanics make up about 15 percent of the U.S. population, about 9 percent of eligible Hispanic voters are registered to vote and only 6.5 percent do vote, a statistic Republicans and Democrats are trying to change.

Raymond Pedraza, a member of the Nevada Democratic Party's executive committee, said Hispanics are flocking to Obama because they feel they share a similar heritage of economic and civil rights struggles.

"He's our story. He has walked in our shoes and he has walked our mile," Pedraza said.

Horse crap. They'll vote for the llama because he'll reward them for their illegal entry here with citizenship and benefits. The real problem is McCain isn't much better on this issue.

I'm so fricken happy the Messiah is all for helping Pedro "come out of the shadows".

Meanwhile, his OWN BROTHER lives on $12/year in a luxurious mud hut on the outskirts of Nairobi.

CHANGE?? HOPE??

Yep, probably see voter registration forms on the back of government aid checks handed out right at the border.....so much for any type of security.
