After sending many signals to Latinos in his campaign, Trump sends another: Not in my Cabinet

Republican and Democratic presidents have long nodded to the importance of diversity as they select their Cabinets. Since 1989, every president’s first Cabinet has included at least one Latino.

Not Donald Trump’s.

After a campaign in which relations with Latinos grew painfully raw, the sort of tension that typically would make reaching out imperative, Trump selected a Cabinet that is predominantly white and male. The only members who break from that description, out of 15 positions, are an African American man, one Asian American woman and a white woman.

The absence struck many Latinos as a fresh slap after a season of insults. Trump opened his campaign by asserting that some Mexican immigrants were rapists and murderers and spent much of his time promising to deport Latinos in the country without proper papers, a group that comprises millions of people and affects millions more. He had no high-profile Latino campaign surrogates or staff members.

actually they call Aztec and Mayan Indians from Central America “Hispanics” whether they have Spanish ancestors or not...

Ya notice I didn’t say “Latin” America..

They cant speak Latin either...

Nor have they Italian ancestors...

One confused mess...

Oh I know you are...

Here’s a coloring book and a Teddy Bear...

If Trump picks Cruz for SCOTUS, to the Slimes he will be labeled “the wrong kind of Latino.”

Ask Ms. Decker; "How many Hispanics sit on the Tribune Publishing Inc.

That would be a number approaching zero, ...from the negative side, unless you include Asians that eat Mexican food.

And not one Swiss-American either.........

This too shall end. We will no longer let the Left and their shills in the media conflate the illegal immigration issue as a “Latino” issue.

The illegal immigration issue is really about (a) no respect for the southern border and (b) numbers. And in both cases it is not about:

Guatemala
Honduras
Nicaragua
Costa Rica
Panama
Columbia
Venezuela (we should accept their refugees)
French Guiana
Guyana
Ecuador
Peru
Paraguay
Uruguay
Brazil
Chile
Argentina
Surinam
Barbados
Dominica
Dominican Republic
Trinidad & Tabago
Puerto Rico
or Cuban Refugees

That just leaves where the vast majority of illegal immigration comes from, which is but one single state in “Latin America”, showing clearly it is NOT a “Latino” issue, in spite of the Left’s success at conflating it as such.

It's all about "Gimmee the money to overthrow the US govt."

JULY 2014---Plotting the overthrow of the US govt in the White House.
President Salvador Sanchez Ceren of El Salvador, left,
President Otto Perez Molina of Guatemala, second left,
President Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras, right.

NOTE Pres Molina is under investigation for misuse of US foreign aid.

===========================================================

LAWS ARE MEANINGLESS TO THE LATINO BUND---Latino Bund lobbyists
spoon-feed vote-crazed US pols---- they round up the ethnic solidarity votes to
keep sap-happy Dems in power as the overthrow begins.

===============================================

NOTE: Trump's win means the road to the White House didn't
go through Central America........as they threatened (smirk).

I forgot about Nikki Haley. For what was she nominated?

Of course, just having somebody of Indian descent and Hindu faith is not enough for these people. If she gets confirmed, they will want her to revert to her birth name and to have cows wandering about the grounds of her department’s buildings.
