It was a silly thing to say. Here’s the thing, Sen. Cruz is building a campaign on no nonsense talk, and he’s purposefully saying things to evoke a reaction from certain quarters.
Reactions equal coverage. It’s not a bad strategy. The downside is that some of those comments will be clunkers.
It was well intentioned. The Hispanic community at large has a culture that fits in much better with Republicans than democrats. This is why dems won’t let go of this issue. Future votes are one thing. Keeping Hispanics from voting GOP today is much more important. If the dems lost the Hispanic majority to Republicans, they’d become a regional party. Hence the constant immigration agitprop.
Sen Cruz was trying to speak to that. He let loose a clunker. No big deal.
Poverty, illiteracy, gang activity, and teen pregnancy fit in much better with Republicans?
California was once a paradise. Then it became an extension of Mexico and turned into a hellhole.
Mexifornia begs to differ.
