And he was without prejudice in saying so: Cruz Fires Back After Omar Suggests Latinos Would Struggle in āMerit-Basedā Immigration System
"Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar suggested on Tuesday that individuals from Latin America would not be competitive if the U.S. immigration system was based on merit.
āA āmerit basedā immigration policy is fueled toward the Latinx community,ā Omar said in a now-deleted tweet. āOur immigration policies shouldnāt be based on discrimination, fear, or bigotry.ā
āWe should welcome immigrants to our country and offer a simple pathway to citizenship,ā she added.
Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz fired back at Omar for implying that people immigrating from Central and South America were not as smart or skilled as people immigrating from other countries.
Omarās office did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundationās request for comment in time for publication."
She is right, and it shows how dumb cruz is.
Penelope sez: "She is right, and it shows how dumb cruz is."Did anyone ever tell you that your tinfoil hat is on crooked and something bad has gotten itself into your head on account of it?
Omar sideswiped Latinos as being dumb, which they are not. In fact, as far back as history remembers, Latinos have distinguished themselves among some of the best thinkers, and furthermore, they were quite bilingual if not multilingual long before America woke up to teaching its children other languages as a requirement in high school education which needs to get serious about learning Spanish right alongside English if Democrats keep demands up for dual signs, dual instructions on lawn equipment, kitchen accessories, food, and sewing machines. Latinos used to encourage their children in America to go English language and fuggetaboutit Spanish. No more. We need to be less recalcitrant about understanding Spanish, because it's apparently here to stay unless Congress says otherwise. I don't see that happening.
Senator Cruz is for America. I'm proud he's one of my state's senators and one of America's truest upholders of the US Constitution.
Oh please they come here for work.
