Obviously it was an attempt to woo Latino voters, at the same time, make an attempt to quell the perceived bashing “immigrants” are taking nowadays. After Sunday night’s debate, the media has taken many angles on this attempt. Some consider the olive branch a noble gesture, while some have taken the opportunity to lecture the GOP about our nation’s strong Spanish-speaking heritage, while reminding us of the strides Latinos have made to master America’s official tongue.
