"Being Hispanic for us means much more than having a surname," said New Jersey Rep. Bob Menendez, a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. "It means having some relationship with the reality of what it is to live in this country as a Hispanic American."

My wife lived her whole life in Mexico until 10 years ago -- she is uniquely qualified to speak on the "live in this country as a Hispanic American."
She sees racism, yes -- but she usually feels more sorry for the perpetrators than angry. She also despises victim politics and is so mad at the Dems decrying what should be held to all Hispanics as how to make the American Dream work -- a real live role model -- that smoke comes out her ears every time she hears about it.
But maybe being born in Mexico and living there for 30+ years, then coming to El Norte LEGALLY isn't "Hispanic enough."
