“So is he going to get the La Raza endorsement or are we going to be told he’s “not Hispanic enough”?”

Oh he’s plenty Hispanic. Because he’s pro-amnesty. Cruz, however, is not because he is pro-United States.

See how their ‘logic’ works?

In spite of the "Hispanic" and "Latino" hype from the Left, there really isn't that much affinity between Cuban-Americans (who are typically middle class or affluent) and Mexicans (either Chicanos or Mexican immigrants), who are overwhelmingly poor. Until recently, Cuban-Americans were overwhelmingly Republican, while Chicanos vote Democratic. The only thing they have in common is their language.

Having said that, you're right in that the acceptability of a candidate to La Raza has more to do with the amnesty issue than anything else. Jeb Bush is basically an honorary "Hispanic" too.
