He may be the smartest candidate since...I don’t know who? He is brilliant on a different level altogether.

It's actually pretty bad since the Catholics of that group index above Hispanics as a whole.

Yep in fact Buenos Aires has a large Italian descendant population just like New York they even have their own unique pizza which is fantastic..

but I was also over in Uruguay..the same thing you can not understand didn’t sound anything like the Mexican Spanish.

absolutely love it down there

Interesing. Thanks for the chart. that 19-29 group is the future and that is a killer.
Thank your TV and movies starting with Will and Grace, and even before.
Since the 1960s, after The Robe, Ben Hur, Tend Commandments, something happened in Hollywood I don’t know what. They just went crazy.
independent films are good but cant battle mainstream.
God’s Not Dead was good. And there are a few religious movies coming out this year. One involving the slave-owner, Matt Damon and Hugh Jackman. About Paul. Wonder what that’s all about.
Noah was environmentalist garbage.
AD was very good.
Gimme Shelter should have been a hit about young runaway who decide s to have baby. But Hollywood trashed it as conservative anti abortion propaganda. ‘
The fault in our stars was very good. Not really related to story here. I’m just recommending it :)

You seriously think that many Americans would not like to see all this endless mass immigration from the second and third world stop?

We aren’t even America anymore, we are merely a collection point for the world to come and get theirs while the getting is good.

“Cruz support for legal immigration is why I’m undecided.”

Our country has had legal immigration since its founding. That is not going to change. Illegal immigration must be stopped.

“Mexican Spanish is quite different from Spain Spanish.”

****

Other than the lack of the vosotros conjugation of verbs, that’s not the case.

That being said, there are many uneducated Mexicans who speak the Spanish equivalent of ebonics and are functionally illiterate. To judge Mexican Spanish by the way they speak would be the same as judging American English by the way Detroit ghetto residents speak.

While Cruz received only 35% of the Hispanic vote in his 2012 Senate race,

Sorry Kabar, it was over 40%:

Cruz/Rubio? Will never happen. Cruz/Walker, maybe.

Any absolute statement is rediculous, so my previous statement is ridiculous in that way.

But the idea that people from a poor country, who often work very hard simply to survive, would see things differently than people from a rich country, who tend to have all the necessities given to them as children, is the essence of simplicity.

Then, I never even mentioned the generous welfare benefits in the United States, that do not exist in Mexico.

Its Pew. By phrasing the question as to whether to allow Gays and Lesbians to “legally marry”, the framed the poll to their liking. I think they would have gotten different results with the question:

Do you want to change the definition of marraige from that of a union of a man and a woman, to that of a union of any two people?

They are not “allowing gay marriage”. They are fundamentally changing the definition of marriage.

“You seriously think that many Americans would not like to see all this endless mass immigration from the second and third world stop?”

I never implied otherwise. Perhaps you are referring to where I said “Who is against legal immigration?”

Legal immigration can be as high or low as we desire. That is one of the benefits of controlling the border.

Let’s not play games, end it all.

Now “all” doesn’t mean excluding 10,000 or 30,000 administrative immigrants that WE bring in for OUR purposes or for some delicate reason, such as a TRUE refugee’s kids or something, “all” means end this horror of this endless flow of foreigners and replacement of ourselves.

well i did create a thread regarding a Cruz/Rubio ticket

If we're going to have a dual-Hispanic ticket, it might better be Cruz/Martinez (that's a total of three X chromosomes). Dare the Hildebeest to run four by picking Fauxcahontas as her running mate).

You have to speak Mexican

That's like saying they speak Austrian in Austria, LOL!

Fact is, gringos tend to think of Hispanics as a single group.

But Hispanics don't look it that way. To them, Mexicans, Cubans, Hondurans, what-have-you (God forbid an actual Spaniard!) are all different and all have their separate stereotypes, not to mention accents.
