Intra-Hispanic Rivalries Surface Over GOP Immigration Debate
"Those of Mexican descent comprise of almost 70% of the entire Latino population while those of Cuban descent make up of only 3% of the Hispanic population, yet we see Cuban-Americans trying to speak on behalf of the entire Latino population. This is an outrage particularly when we don't see them empathize on an issue that is near and dear to our hearts -- the immigration issue," says DeeDee Garcia Blase, formerly with Somos Republicans.
"[Rep.] Diaz-Balart underestimates the intelligence of Latinos living outside of Florida. He cannot claim to be for free markets and Capitalism when he supports Romney's protectionist and isolationist policies towards immigrants," she continues.
