It was the Latino people on the streets of Madison and other cities that forced President Bush onto prime-time television Monday night to try to snuff out the smoldering controversy that’s burning a divide in Congress and across the country, local activist Alex Gillis said.
….Gillis and others in the Dane County Latino community interviewed for their initial response to Bush’s proposal were generally supportive of what the president had to say.
