New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, the only Hispanic in the Democratic
presidential race, has changed his view of immigration legislation,

The governor said earlier this week that he had misgivings about

he would vote for it if he were in Congress and would try to
improve it.
Richardson said he changed his mind after reading the entire

construction was in there," Richardson said at a news conference.
"It's a terrible symbol."
