09/10/2007: "Democrats grovel before race-guilt Hispanic groups"
Democratic White House candidates embraced Hispanic concerns in the first ever Spanish-language presidential debate, unanimously promising to bring troops home from Iraq and to begin working on immigration in their first year in office.
Not surprisingly for anchors who vocally support a path to legalization for the nation's estimated 12 million immigrants, both Ramos and Salinas framed their questions with the basic assumption that immigrants, including those in the country illegally, face discrimination and have been unfairly demonized -- a view not universally shared in the English-language media.
[ Nor by the citizens. Democrats want to use immigrants, and immigrants want to use Democrats. However, the people who pay our leaders' salaries are not inclined to agree, whether rich or poor, white or black. Interesting how our multicultural insanity plays out in these awkward ways. ]
