Whether it is denying us driver&#039;s licenses, in-state tuition, or other opportunities that would facilitate the contributions of undocumented immigrants to this great country, the Republican Party continues to put speed bumps on our path.<\/p>\n<p>And their presidential candidates aren&#039;t doing so great when it comes to Latino outreach and talking to our communities.

As an undocumented immigrant, I struggle to comprehend what Bush was saying.
