Arizona,
My Spanish is a little rusty so I asked my friend @EVerastegui to help me get this important message out.

She says her Spanish isn’t so good so she’s invited a friend to help. He says she is a friend to Latinos. That’s about it.
It’s more the fact he did it that seems to be the point. Vouching for her.
The graphic states that she is “pro-vida”, pro-life. We don’t see to much of that in Anglo-ads outside of the primaries.
I occasionally get asked to support Democrat candidates in Phoenix by people of Mexican descent. When I tell them that I cannot vote for an abortion supporting candidate, they never argue with me, but look slightly embarrassed and move on.
She’s smart and quick witted, I like her.
Smart advertising move.
I don’t speak Spanish, but that ad just exuded warmth and sincerity. Kudos to Lake and the Hispanic guy who did a great job.
this is America... speak english or GTF out...
Great sarcasm....
it wasnt sarcasm... are we moving the line in the sand back wards again just because shes republican?? i guess some havent learned yet what giving in has done for us.
Need pic of Verastegui please!
With an estimated size of approximately 43 million in 2019, German Americans are the largest ancestry group in the United States. The venerated Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen spoke German at home before he learned English. Should they be kicked out of the country, or should they kick the rest of us out of the country?
Bonus question: have you read "The Honorable Mr. Marigold".
oh boy... well you sound like youre really smart. I guess you musta forgot the part where everyone who once entered this country needed to speak basic english. but like crime, illegal immigration, the fags, the lesbians, the trans... we all have to give a little for those different from us while the stay the exact same... spit...
I lived and worked in Paramount California.
in early 70’s
I was taught Spanish in school from 4th grade.
I was also taught Mandarin middle school.
Most black people I have known in life could not
speak English eg “ASK” becomes AXE??????.
Pick your battles, carefully.
Argentinians hated my Spanish, and Chinese laughed at my Mandarin.
Here is another one, Hawaiians speak Polynesian and have long before they ever heard of Captain Cook and the rest of we English speakers.
I don’t why Republicans aren’t more pro life and explain it like Kari
Me encanta.
Y, ¡Andale!
¡Todas estamos para Kari!
I thought I recognized the name.
He is hot.
The number of Spaniards (later Mexicans) in Arizona before 1846 was tiny.
Tucson was maybe 300 people, Phoenix didn’t exist. The Mission San Xavier Del Bac ministered to the Papago (now called Tohono O’Odham) and the Yaqui Indians; there was a small numer of ranchos along the Santa Cruz river going down to Nogales. That was about it.
After the Gadsden purchase and the arrival of the SP, there were far more Americans then Mexicans in the Territory. Espcially Mormons in the White Mountains and Safford.
By the time my family moved ther in the 1930s, Spanish was almost unheard except in a few small areas: South Tucson, Guadalupe (next to Tempe), right on the border (Nogales, Naco, Lochiel, Douglas).
Phoenix in fact was founded by a Confederate soldier by the name of Zwilling. He and Hayden saw the opportunity; other then taking up with a Mexican woman as his common law wife (his actual wife was home in Georgia, I believe), Phoenix was an American creation populated by them from the start.
Not until the late 1970s / early 80s did we start hearing much Spanish outside of these enclaves. It was considered both rude and un-patriotic before that. In fact, my quadralingual mother used to tell people speaking Spanish in public to stop it. Back then, they did.
The Apaches, Navajos, Hopis, Tohono O’Odham and a bunch of smaller bands far outnumbered the Mexicans in Arizona well into the 1960s. It’s ridiculous to give them some sort of majoritarian status - the main reason the missions were built was to make Indios subjects of the Spanish Crown, and thus lay claim to the land that they had ignored for 270 years. It was a pathetic, abortive attempt at colonization. It lasted about 70 years when the Treat of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended it.
Happily it became hard core American, built up into gleaming American cities full of light and modern structures, not ramshackle villages out of the 14th century.
The Mexicans have always been astonished at how much we Americans did with the land they thought “worthless”, and have spent the last 100 years trying to take a piece of that pie if they can.
Forcing the gringos to speak their language and bow to them politically is a way to do that. In their culture, if they can force you to do that, you are weak and they are strong...and so you are the puta.
No politician in America should ever speak Spanish or any other enemy language. We fought two wars with them, they lost both. They have all of Central and South America to enjoy their little brand of Latin, it doesnt belong here: we should never grant them that hegemony.
As for German, recall it became almost unheard after 1917, and even more unpopular a coupla decades later.
The United States are unique in the fact that a land mass of this size contains people speaking one language almost universally. It unifies us, or rather did. To the extent that we let an aggressive invading group to undermine that is the extent to which we allow them to divide our nation.
For that, they should be stepped on, and hard. Trying to destroy the US is real Treason with a capital T, far more then protesting a stolen Presidential election.
We could start by ending all the “bilingual” programs in the schools (pushed by Mexican hegemonists), withdrawing Clinton’s EO mandating language translations in all public services, and generally rejecting further attempts to substitute the Spanish language into our daily lives but especially our government. All attempts to obstruct that should be viewed as anti-American and dealt with ruthlessly.
This isn’t Mexico. It’s the United States, and they have no right to change that. Save for a few lingering Spaniard families in Northern New Mexico, who have been there since 1642, there’s virtually no place where they ever held sway, except in their delusions of grandeur as evidenced by the massive land grants ahead of Commodore Stockton arriving in the harbor at Los Angeles.
I live in New Mexico and the descendant of the Conquistadors and settlers have been here since the late 1500’s. In some smaller rural towns the older people speak Spanish as do many other locals. Treated respectfully they are generous people, which is good because their knowledge of living in hard country can make a huge difference.
Hispanics are Catholic. Pro life. Pro family. Hardworking.
Those here legally oppose massive illegal immigration.
They’re R voters in the making.
