Its time to make English the official language and drop all the “bi-lingual” stuff. Why select Spanish? Why not Mongolian? Why not Hebrew? No one offered to make Dutch a second language for my grandparents. Why does Cruz have to ramp up for the Hispanics. I thought we were E Pluribus UNUM!

How about a little more tolerance, something the left is really “good” at.

Courtesy of Urban Dictionary:

Uncle Juan:

A Latin-American shunned by his peers because he/she took the time to learn English.

Oh...I thought he was running for President of the USA a, not Mexico?

While in Germany, I learned conversational German...it wasn’t perfect but the locals would buy me beer all night long for just MAKING AN EFFORT, and SHOWING INTEREST in their language and customs.

I, for one, could care less if he speaks perfect Spanish. English is the official language of the country he’s trying to lead. If Hispanics don’t like that, well they can go back home where they can speaks da perfecta es spanol

Do Mexicans have to press 1 for Spanish in Mexico? I didn’t think so.

What a bunch of bu[[$#+. Ted Cruz doesn't need to pander. And FYI - him NOT pandering, is exactly what makes him who he is!

Ay, Caramba! Univision Amazed Ted Cruz Has Latino Support…

Jeb Bush speaks Spanish fluently and Mexicans won’t vote for him because he has a “R” after his name. 0bama does not speak Spanish and the Mexicans voted for him because he promised “free stuff” for them. The ability to speak Spanish is irrelevant.

Ingles solamente, por favor.

Why should Ted work hard to be someone he is not?

So he can be like all the other politicians?

Latino citizens have the same concerns as all other American citizens. There is no need to say something special to them.

The Latinos that have "special issues" are here illegally and by helping them Cruz would be hindering all the immigrants trying to follow the law.

That would be discrimination.

Bingo. Juan Vidal doesn’t give a rat’s behind if Ted Cruz speaks Spanish. He wants him to open up the government treasury and dispense a bunch of entitlement goodies to Hispanics everywhere.

I have thought we should stop referring to the language spoken in Mexico as Spanish. We should start saying illegal alien as in (When Maria and Juan go to a Mexican restaurant they always order in Illegal Alien.)
