In launching his campaign today, Ted Cruz released an English-language video celebrating both his immigrant history and his work “putting everything on the line to stop President Obama’s illegal and unconstitutional amnesty.” In the Spanish-language version, Cruz again celebrates his immigrant history, but makes no mention of his anti-immigrant leadership. In response, People For the American Way released the following statement:

“If Ted Cruz is so proud of his anti-immigrant stance, why won’t he say it in Spanish?” asked Carlos A. Sanchez, Coordinator of Political Campaigns for People For the American Way. “Latino voters deserve to know about Cruz’s offensive rhetoric and actions about immigrants, and it’s unacceptable that he’s trying to hide his record from us.”
