Is the DREAM Act the Line in the Sand for Latino Voters?

A lame duck Congress appears to be considering one more time the DREAM Act.  In “What Democrats owe Latinos: Passing the Dream Act,” Edward Schumacher-Matos argues that Latinos may well revolt against the Democrats unless something gives:  “Latinos are fed up with congressional delays over comprehensive immigration reform. The time has come for President Obama and the Democrats to man up in the lame-duck session and at least fight to pass the Dream Act. Otherwise, the Democrats risk Latino withdrawal, rebellion – or both.”

Latinos flocked to vote for President Obama in 2008.  Will they in 2010 without the DREAM Act and comprehensive immigration reform?
