Sensenbrenner a dirty household word

Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Florida, warns his fellow Repubs to tread carefully on the immigration issue.

He says that "Sensenbrenner” is now a household word in many Hispanic homes. Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., is the House sponsor of a bill that would erect a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border and make criminals out of undocumented aliens.

"We as Republicans need to be careful how we address this issue,” said Martinez, the only foreign-born member of the Senate.

"The issue has galvanized the Hispanic and Latino community like no other. There’s a real political angle to this that is important to our party.”
