Hispanic leaders aren't happy with how Republican hopefuls have reacted to Donald Trump's 'idiocy'
Business Insider / Tne Associated Press ^ | July 3, 2015 | Steve Peoples

Hispanic leaders are warning of harm to Republican White House hopes unless the party's presidential contenders do more to condemn Donald Trump, a businessman turned presidential candidate who's refusing to apologize for calling Mexican immigrants rapists and drug dealers.

Trump's comments, delivered in his announcement speech last month, have haunted the GOP for much of the last two weeks and dominated Spanish-language media....

Because they've all likely hired illegal aliens in the past.

They always say, “Hispanic leaders”, who?????

Every Time you read deeper or discover it is someone at the “Center for American Progress” or related left wing group.

And of course Sen Cruz is not listed among those counted as Hispanic leaders.

Similarly, Pres Obama, a liberal, would be counted as an AA leader, but Justice Thomas and Dr. Carson are not...

Let me get this straight. You want a people and its leadership, whom you despise and would disenfranchise and take their land to stop criticizing you while you do it? Stop and think about what you are asking. Do you think we are that stupid? Let me debate these freaks! I know their culture inside and out, let me at ‘em. Cruz should know enough to set them back.

Perhaps “Hispanic leaders” should place more emphasis on the sovereignty and decency of their country instead of an insane allegiance to ethnicity for people of whom they have not one shred of evidence of said decency beyond the fact they may speak some common language other than English.

Title should say “Hispanic Leaders at the Behest of the DNC are Trying to Paint the Entire Republican Party as Racist”.

I agree.

I have been very impressed with Senator Cruz. My big congratulations to him, and I very much like the way that is playing out.

Cruz and Trump have a future of some sort, together. We will see.

Walker hasn’t officially announced yet, so why would he comment on Trump?

Say it loud, say it proud. Hispanic Americans are my fellow citizens and I have been side by side with them in business and in war.
Citizens of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, etc are not my fellow citizens. They are foreigners.

Correcting media lies is a full time job.

I see they use plural, but the only guy they mention is definitely not an accepted leader of the Hispanic community.

In my town, hispanic community leaders are determined and rollup by:
1. Family
2. Extended Family and visibility / popularity in the community
3. Church / and / involvement in activities
4. Origin: Town
5. Origin: Country
6. Spanish Accent/Dialect/words they use

When I go around to their businesses, no one knows these “Leaders” the press quote from
