The Republican Party's response to President Barack Obama's last State of the Union address on Tuesday night differed very slightly, but in telling ways, depending on whether you heard it in English or Spanish.
Below is an excerpt from Haley's speech:
No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country. 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.

Below is a translated excerpt from Diaz-Balart's speech:
"No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country. It is not who we are. At the same, it is 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. 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.
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"
If they "respect the rule of law", then why are they "living in the shadows", Congress Diaz-Balart? The original Spanish text must have been written on another planet.
Meanwhile....
They will blame it on the Google translator. ;-)
This is despicable.
I really hate these people. Lie lie lie. It’s all they do. Lie deceive double-talk.
The duplicity of the GOP is plain for those with eyes to see.
