Could the results of the mid-term elections be due to a less xenophobic outlook by American voters?

Miguel Perez of the Chicago Sun Times believes so. He brings out some interesting facts concerning the American Latino vote and the consequences it had concerning the immigration issue at hand during elections this year. Pretty interesting stuff, however I don't think that this was the only issue that the American voter (whether he or she was Black, White, Asian, Latino or what ever our census labels us as being) had in mind while voting. I like the way Miguel Perez frames this mid-term election with the Hispanic demographic in mind.
