Texas Sen. Ted Cruz: Hispanics Don't Beg Or Panhandle [2013]
houstonpublicmedia.org/ ^ | August 20, 2013 | Carrie Feibel

Posted on 03/01/2016 1:39:41 AM PST by ObamahatesPACoal

The comments came during a speech Cruz gave Tuesday morning in Houston. Cruz was speaking at a breakfast event held by the Houston Realty Business Coalition at The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa.

(SNIP)

“And I’ll tell you I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Hispanic panhandler,” Cruz continued. “Now why is that? Because in our community it would be viewed as shameful to be out there on the street begging. Now you want work on your house? You’ll see men and women lining up to work their fingers to the bone to provide for their kids to put food on the table. Hard work, responsibility, those are conservative values.”

Cruz has used this story a few times in 2012, 2013 and 2015. Im trying to see if he claimed it was his dad not a businessman is the hypothetical person who poses the panhandling-hispanic-walks-into-a-bar question to him.

He's been LYING that long about this ? WOW

All he has to do is go to NYC/Times Square and he'll see not only men but naked Hispanic women begging for money; aggressively so!

He should go to Mexico, there are a whole LOT of Hispanic beggers/panhandlers there too.

It's because they are all on Food Stamps and AFDC... they all have their anchor-babies to draw a check on. :-(

The poor chump working Americans have to foot the bills!

Why panhandle when you can sit on your ass and get welfare, or work under the table AND get welfare?

Teddy boy should come down to South Texas where I live. They don’t panhandle here for there is much more money to make by selling drugs, stealing anything that is not locked or tied down, robbing hard working tax paying citizens of their money by cheating on welfare, free housing, medical and all other means of obtaining money, housing and all manner of “free” goodies paid for by honest tax paying citizens.

Nope! He’s right...they don’t have to beg any longer.

In church on sundays in san Antonio, the bishops appeal runs yearly. It’s a complete embarrassment the kids have to see it. One year it was a 20 minute video, instead of prayer and Biblical reflection, hispanic men with their families begging for money. From the parishes. THey do not build their own churches where they can have their Mass in their language. They take over. move in. and have the church hierarchy beg for them.

As soon as the kids could, they took off out of Texas. They’ll never go back. A disgusting display of the opposite of virtue which theyre supposed to be building on from the lessons in Church.

Hypocritical and never seen in any good classic literature written to inspire .

It is a complete embarrassment to see fat men sitting on sofas fat not attempting to even speak the language of the country.

And the kids see the takeover of all scholarship money, college placement.

It is disgusting

OH and forget about sunday evenings at the supermarket. Lines way back in the aisles. The Lord’s Day indeed. EBT Spanish speaking only. No one talks to white people. Who cares where the EBT cards come from it’s free food

“You’ll see them lining up to work their fingers.....”

But you’ll also see millions more lining up for welfare and all the free stuff; you’ll see them smuggling drugs, burning the Stars and Stripes, driving drunk and unlicensed, committing all manner of crimes, mobbed up at La Raza demonstrations, refusing to learn English or assimilate, singing the Mexican anthem, while spreading lice, diseases and mayhem.

Cue the fake outrage from Cruz bashers who COMPLETELY OVERLOOK Trump’s past support of Dreamers.

Give me a break.

He never said they should get amnesty for being hispanic, it was more along the lines of saying “these “kids” are teddy bears, let’s give them teddy bears”

Rubio said “American workers can’t cut it.” Implying largely white and black people.

Cruz said implied everyong except hispanics.

He told them “You’ve convinced me” when they begged him to support amnesty. Here’s a money quote:
“You know, the truth is I have a lot of illegals working for me in Miami,” he told them, using the term for undocumented immigrants those in the meeting found offensive. “You know in Miami, my golf course is tended by all these Hispanics — if it wasn’t for them my lawn wouldn’t be the lawn it is; it’s the best lawn,” Pacheco recalled Trump saying.
Trump said he knew the work of undocumented people is what makes his golf courses and hotels great.
