“Some immigrants in New York City’s Little Colombia may be changing their vote to Republican this year as a result of the Democratic candidates’ opposition to a free trade agreement with Colombia.

Although only a small slice of the electorate, Colombian immigrants in Queens are backing away in particular from Senator Clinton, a candidate who only a few months ago they ardently, and almost unanimously, supported. Even those who are against the deal are switching their allegiance — to Senator Obama, whom they view as a stronger opponent of free trade.”*
