How was the Spanish debate?
In a word, predictable.
Questions about immigration dominated a forum for Democratic presidential candidates put on Sunday by the Spanish-language television network Univision.Â
In another word, negative.
Front-runner Sen. Hillary Clinton condemned what she called “very destructive” rhetoric on the issue.
Other Democrats blasted Republicans for demanding to clamp down on the U.S.-Mexico border. The candidates also took implicit jabs at GOP contenders who refused to sign up for a similar Spanish-language forum.
“There are many in the political world and, frankly, in the broadcast world today that take a particular aim at the Latino population,” Clinton said. “I think it is very destructive. It undermines our unity as a country.”
So look at these highlights. One senator “condemned” a political party for “very destructive” rhetoric. Others “blasted” that party for “demanding to clamp down“, and they “took implicit jabs” at their political counterparts “who refused” to sign up for a similar debate, suggesting this meant they took “aim at the Latino population“. Which “is very destructrive.”
Yes, this attitude undermimes our unity as a country.
Talk about rhetoric…
Clinton said she favored tighter border controls, but said the nation needs comprehensive immigration reform.
What does that mean?
Who is giving the country a vision of hope that transcends politics? Where is the moral leadership?
