Many Hispanics came together Saturday afternoon to ask questions and share their ideas. This Immigration Forum was put on by the Hispanic Caucus of Arkansas. The goal is to bring Latinos into the Democratic process. Senator Blanche Lincoln discussed the need for immigration reform. She says President Bushs plan needs to be more focused. Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D) AR "We need to work out a fair and reasonable way to make sure they put themselves on the path to legal status they need and citizenship if that`s what they desire." Lincoln says the Hispanic Community has the same needs as everyone else when it comes to health care, children and the elderly.
