Hispanics are biased? And they are blaming Democrats? Nope. The GOP/Tea Party have insulted/demonized Hispanics ALL by themselves. The GOP fears Hispanics and only wants wealthy Hispanics to become citizens; others need not apply.

Ok, what has Ted Cruz done that has impacted Hispanics in a positive way? How has he contributed to Hispanics in his local community as a young student, a college student and as an adult prior to being a politician?

I'm proud, but I look at the issues.
