The English And Spanish Versions Of The GOP SOTU Response Were The Same, Except On Immigration

The GOP offered two different responses to President Obama’s final State of the Union speech on Tuesday evening — and the small differences between them reveal an internal conflict over a policy issue that’s especially important to Latino voters.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) offered separate messages in English and Spanish, respectively. In her speech, Haley supported stopping undocumented immigration and even refugee resettlement, while Diaz-Balart’s speech was tailored to a Spanish-speaking audience in favor of immigration reform.

Haley advocated for fixing “our broken immigration system” and appeared to shut the door on refugees “whose intentions cannot be determined.”...

Diaz-Balart’s speech, meanwhile, took a softer approach and called for a humane solution for undocumented immigrants, according to a translation by The Miami Herald.

!Pendejos! Last year they didn't even mention immigration in the English version, only in the Spanish one.

1. So that's the republican tactic. One message for the tea party. Another one for Hispanics.

Once the tea party senses this 'liberal' flexibility, they will condemn its proponents are not "REAL" conservatives. I doubt many Hispanics are going to be fooled with this 'one message for you' and 'another message for the GOP base that does not like you' tactic.
