Thats only part of it. The other part is that the hispanic voting block grows every year and no one wants to have them turn to one side only. So republicans and democrats alike rarely have the balls to do anything and those in the border states even less so.
Bush, Gore, and Kerry all did spots in Spanish, and it wasn't to tell them to stop coming over illegally.
