GOP remarks on Hispanic Heritage month don't mention immigration

Hispanic voters are expected to vote in unprecedented numbers this year, driven largely by concerns about the US immigration system. Polling like this one from Gallup anticipates they will break strongly to the Democrats, possibly as much as 60% to 30%.

Obama and McCain today distributed statements praising Hispanics' contributions to American society and their military service. Obama also called for comprehensive immigration reform. McCain didn't mention it. That's curious because polling [pdf] from Democratic research group NDN shows that immigration is the top concern for Hispanic voters.

I've also noticed the GOP site doesn't include a category for Immigration under Issues, even though it's one of their standards concerns.

McCain puts his under "Border Security"

I think one way to not show how hostile they are is to not talk about it.
