On March 8th, 2013 the Huffington Post posted a political blog entry that discussed a poll that was conducted through Latino voters. The poll asked if they supported or opposed allowing same-sex immigration couples the same rights as heterosexual couples. Right now same sex couples do not have the same immigration rights as hetero sexual couples and when the results of the polls came in it was revealed that 64 percent of Latino voters would support a policy that allowed same sex couples to have immigration rights, while 24 percent said they opposed it. Although the chances of including same sex couples in immigration reform is "politically difficult" it is clear that it is popularly supported. The authors intended audience for this article is Latinos who live in America and those who do not. As well as same sex couples attempting to immigrate to the United States. I completely agree with the majority that same sex couples should have the same rights as hetero sexual couples in America and as well in immigration issues. It is unfair to treat these couples differently than "traditional" couples and they deserve to have a chance at bettering their lives in America just as everyone else does. The fact that they are same sex couples should not make it harder for them to immigrate.
