A Tale of Two Shiftys'
There is a bigger controversy about to break wide-open that's potentially far more significant than Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell approving Nikki Haley's non-subtle attack on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. That bigger controversy is the Spanish version of the GOP State of the Union rebuttal containing an "amnesty pledge".
As this is written, Governor Nikki Haley is trying to get out ahead of the building expose'. Haley just gave a DC press conference claiming she does not support "amnesty"; however, against her earlier admission of Speaker Ryan and Leader McConnell approving the script - the Spanish version must have held similar approvals.
Governor Haley gave the English version, Miami Representative and party-insider Mario Diaz-Barlat delivered it in Spanish. Here's a (paragraph by paragraph) comparison as translated by the Miami Herald:
English (Via Haley): No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country.
Spanish (Via Diaz-Barlat): No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love the United States should ever feel unwelcome in this country. It's not who we are.
English: At the same time, that does not mean we just flat out open our borders. We can't do that. We cannot continue to allow immigrants to come here illegally. And in this age of terrorism, we must not let in refugees whose intentions cannot be determined.
Spanish: At the same time, it's obvious that our immigration system needs to be reformed. The current system puts our national security at risk and is an obstacle for our economy.
English: We must fix our broken immigration system. That means stopping illegal immigration. And it means welcoming properly vetted legal immigrants, regardless of their race or religion. Just like we have for centuries.
Spanish: It's essential that we find a legislative solution to protect our nation, defend our borders, offer a permanent and human solution to those who live in the shadows, respect the rule of law, modernize the visa system and push the economy forward.
English: I have no doubt that if we act with proper focus, we can protect our borders, our sovereignty and our citizens, all while remaining true to America's noblest legacies.
Spanish: I have no doubt that if we work together, we can achieve this and continue to be faithful to the noblest legacies of the United States.
Good point... you would be referring of course to the jebster and a couple of other guys...
Inanity at its finest
Surprise, surprise as Gomer would say.
The GOP is as loathesome and corrupt as the dims.
The prosecution rests.
My blood is boiling over
I vote in the primaries for whoever is to the right of the incumbent.
Once you hear that the lawbreakers are “living in the shadows” you know what side they are on. They are far from living in the shadows demonstrating in the tens of thousands and being present in Congressional offices and at SOTU addresses.
First, I’m disgusted it would be translated at all. But it should be a direct translation, not a different version. Liars.

Fsck the GOPe
You are saying that Ryan, McConnell, et al, are BALD FACED LIARS????
Color me shocked ...
Especially when he intends to bring them back in, rapidly. After all, he's got hotels and casinos to run, golf courses to maintain, and construction projects in progress, and hasn't divested himself of any of them.
He's not going to commit economic suicide.
Isn’t that what Hitler wanted?
I despise the scum that has sold out our American citizens. Illegal immigration was bad enough. Now it includes European style mass Muslim refugees.
Evangelicals better pull their heads out of their back ends or our country is done. CRUZ IS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
“We must fix our broken ________ System.”
Isn’t it amazing how many systems are broken and how many of those in DC, who were in with the politicians who broke the systems, are the ones who claim they can fix them.
Fox to henhouse. We can make you safe. Honest.
Paul Ryan, who sat passively not clapping for almost ALL OF HUSSEIN’S SPEECH, applauded when Hussein talked about admitting immigrants and welcoming all foreigners.
Ryan may be more in the tank for the ‘RATS than Boehner was...it that’s even possible. Well, at least Obama was giving him Kudos.
I’ve seen this movie before...wasn’t impressed with the ending...
Your obvious attack against evangelical Christians is noted.
Way to keep it classy.
My question is why the SOTU or anything else is being broadcast in Spanish?
Did Mexico finally annex the US?
When will the MSM start broadcasting all govt proceedings in Portuguese?
Russian?
Chinese?
Japanese?
Or Arabic?
I know government forms are printed in just about every language known to man.
Now we’re having multilingual broadcasts?
The democrats are trying to make the Balkans look like one big happy family.
