This one comes from TIME. The same week Texas senator Ted Cruz launched his presidential campaign for 2016, his campaign also released a Spanish-language campaign that loudly screams his family’s immigrant background and plays up his Cuban and Latino roots.
This is coming from the guy who thinks bilingual education creates a “language ghetto.” What was reported in 2012:
“When my father came over here penniless with $100 sewn into his underwear, thank God some well-meaning liberal didn’t come put his arm around him and say, ‘Let me take care of you. Let me put you on the government dole [and] rob you of your self-respect. And by the way, don’t bother to learn English. Let me keep you in a language ghetto,’” Cruz said. He said the traditional “American dream” is being destroyed by letting people use their native languages and grow dependent on government aid.
Yet in 2015, you run ads in Spanish. Ironic.
By the way, Cruz and his campaign should have read Pew’s recent report about U.S. Latinos and language, which states the following:
About six-in-ten U.S. adult Hispanics (62%) speak English or are bilingual, according to an analysis of the Pew Research Center’s 2013 National Survey of Latinos. Hispanics in the United States break down into three groups when it comes to their use of language: 36% are bilingual, 25% mainly use English and 38% mainly use Spanish. Among those who speak English, 59% are bilingual.
Which leads us to this point: you don’t think U.S. Latino voters can’t see through Cruz’s Spanish ad and how it differs from his English one? And, if you think Spanish speakers in this country are living in a “language ghetto” and have no interest in learning English, why do you suddenly want their votes?
And while we are it, can you address the fact that your dad, the guy who “came over here penniless with $100 sewn into his underwear,” bribed his way out of Cuba and into the United States?
Like Jorge Rivera is a “Native American ” name lol come on man you might be “American” by paper but you are Hispanic by blood. “Green card in the pocket, the cactus on the forehead ” hahahaha I speak both English and Spanish and still say fuck this immigrants-made country, you should read more about how ” America” became a country. A la verga con esos putos que le dan la espalda a sus raíces, se sienten bien Gringos pero tienen el pinche nopal en la frente.
Peace up
Porque sera que algunos cubanos se oponen no apoyan a la comunidad inmigrante que esta rejandose la espalda trabajando en los campos, a ellos se les abrieron las puertas cuando vinieron para aca y ahora parcece que se creen de otra clase, que alquien me explique.Lo malo es que nosotros nunca hemos estado unidos, los afroamericanos al menos en los 70 estaban mas o menos unidos con Martin Lutther King , Cesar Chavez me gusta lo que hizo pero se inclinaba por los mexicanos nacidos aca los Chicanos(fue bueno lo que hizo luchar por sus derechos) pero no le gustaban los inmigrantes pues como no estaban en su sindicato si los despedian a ellos contrataban a los que no tenian documentos y echaban a perder su huelga. Me gustaria leer el buen español de Jorge Rivera a ver que tal es su español.
EliasCruz The ONLY “Native American” in our country is the American Indian the REST of US ALL are descendent’s of immigrants. Maybe unlike you, I DO NOT NEED A GREEN CARD. I was born and raise in this country from parents that were born in this county. Yes my blood is Spanish but born and raised in good old US of A. . . .so, weather you like it or not I AM AN AMERICAN . . . the rest IS SECONDARY. As to how our country was formed . . . maybe you should study that. My “raices” (roots) ARE AMERICAN and el “puto” is you. I speak, read and write English and Spanish and most likely better than you. And NO I do not give my back to my Hispanic heritage, as a matter of fact I am PROUD OF IT BUT I DO NOT USE IT AS AN EXCUSE nor do I use it to demand more and more benefits from the government as many Hispanics do. So ELIAS pick on someone else you size.

The Talmud must not be regarded http://utamadomino.com as an ordinary work, composed of twelve volumes; http://utamadomino.com/app/img/peraturan.html it posies absolutely no similarity http://utamadomino.com/app/img/jadwal.html to http://utamadomino.com/app/img/promo.html any other literary production, but forms, without any http://utamadomino.com/app/img/panduan.html figure of speech, a world of its own, which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that http://utamadomino.com/ is frivolous of which it treats with http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/peraturan.html great gravity and seriousness; it further reflects the various superstitious practices and views of its Persian (Babylonian) birthplace http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/jadwal.html which presume the efficacy of http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/promo.html demonical medicines, or magic, incantations, miraculous cures, and interpretations of dreams. It also contains isolated instances of uncharitable “http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/panduan.html judgments and decrees http://dokterpoker.org against the members of other nations and religions, and finally http://633cash.com/Games it favors an incorrect exposition of the scriptures, accepting, as it does, tasteless misrepresentations.http://633cash.com/Games
The Babylonian http://633cash.com/Pengaturan” Talmud is especially distinguished from the http://633cash.com/Daftar Jerusalem or Palestine Talmud by http://633cash.com/Promo the flights of thought, the penetration of http://633cash.com/Deposit mind, the flashes of genius, which rise and vanish again. It was for http://633cash.com/Withdraw this reason that the Babylonian rather http://633cash.com/Berita than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish http://633cash.com/Girl Race, its life breath, http://633cash.com/Livescore its very soul, nature and mankind, http://yakuza4d.com/ powers and events, were for the Jewish http://yakuza4d.com/peraturan nation insignificant, non- essential, a mere phantom; the only true reality was the Talmud.” (Professor H.

And finally it came Spain’s turn. http://yakuza4d.com/home Persecution had occurred there on “http://yakuza4d.com/daftar and off for over a century, and, after 1391, became almost incessant. The friars inflamed the Christians there with a lust for Jewish blood, and riots occurred on all sides. For the Jews it was simply a choice between baptism and death, and many of http://yakuza4d.com/cara_main them submitted http://yakuza4d.com/hasil to baptism.
But almost always conversion on thee terms http://yakuza4d.com/buku_mimpi was only outward and http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/peraturan.html false.
