He thus pointed the finger on the "Control Act of violent crime and public order" adopted by the Clinton administration in 1994.

Ted Cruz, one of the many Republican candidates in the race to the White House, accused former President Bill Clinton have put a generation of African Americans in jail, so he stated that his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, should respond to this.

Cruz and pointed his finger on the "Law on Control of violent crime and public order" adopted by the Clinton administration in 1994. One measure introduced tax incentives for States launched the "harder" criminal laws, such as those on imprisonment.

Cruz's attack comes on the day that President Barack Obama returned to address the issue of mass incarceration affecting mostly African-American communities.

This is what the left prefers to do with blacks.

This is what the left prefers to do with blacks: imprison them, enslave them, and generally exploit them for the advantage of rich white “progressives”.

I thought they were going to talk about all the cocaine that Bill helped bring into the country through Mena airport.

.
What is going down is the Hispanic news people are lining up behind Cruz.

They’ll say whatever they think they have to to sway voters.

It wasn’t for our ears.

We have seen a few false flag articles that were planted on the internet to make Ted Cruz either look bad or say something he didn’t say or believe.

This doesn’t pass the smell test.

Perhaps by Rand Paul Neonuts.

Who has the most to gain by placing erroneous information on the internet about Ted Cruz saying this ?

It could have even been a Mitt Romney operative.

Mitt Romney could be eyeing a VP spot on Jebbie’s ticket.

Agree. Think of the dog that didn’t bark. If Cruz actually said this, it would be all over the wires by now.

This is probably going on in a lot of hispanic papers today.

It needs to be stopped, and just happens that lawyers abound.

I’m guessing this rag is in LA: on Ted’s first day, Los Angeles LIT UP THE FUNDRAISING MAP. Sabo, the guy who sketches Ted, is in LA.

Imagine that, if the whole Hispanic world were to go all Ted Cruz 24/7 in all their media.... Then watch the ridiculous pandering and adjusting to all the Hispanic voters here by the likes of Hillary, Jebbie, Rand Paul.

Hillary in her festa feasible Mexican hat and garb trying to sing Elvita.

You could be right, this is not for our consumption.

Lining up to shoot him in the back, you mean. The Castro bros are seeing their market go up in smoke with Ted.

They are confused. It was Rand Paul. Just did a Google Search and over a dozen stories listed Paul as the one who said it.

My question is, was this a bad thing? Would he want these criminals walking around freely?

They are ‘confused’ but how many more espanol websites are running with this ‘mistake’, too? The Left loses their one-party state dreams forever if they can’t hustle illegal latinos to the polls for them in ‘16.

This is actually an emergency... Thighness’ camp leaked that Castro was her VP choice coincidentally today. Steve Schmidt is busting out LIES about Heidi all weekend, too, here on FR.

We need to see who else is going to ‘mistake’ Cruz for Paul over the next week.

OK: look at this from a legal Latino point of view: they may or may not be able to distinguish the Castro bros from Texas (Hillary’s new BFFs and VP pick) from the Cuban Castro bros with Ted Cruz with Cuban blood thrown in. Los Angeles is a very strong market for Ted and there will be much obsfuscation thrown in to confuse his natural base there.
