Mitt Romney deploys Spanish speaking son as Republican court Hispanic vote - YouTube
That son even looks Hispanic. He doesn't look like the offspring of Mitt and his blonde wife. maybe that's why he's so hot? repubs always portray themselves as the party of reliance and assimilation. By spoon feeding these immigrants in their native tongue, aren't they implying that those immigrants don't need to learn english?

Like he's ever had to struggle in life like most mexican americans in this country. We have much more in common with Barack Obama, who grew up with a single mother and achieved a college education on his own abilities.

There is no evidence whatsoever that Obama has ever struggled in life.

Mitt Romney is not Mexican-American. He is plain old American. What country his father was born in is irrelevant. Mitt was born here in the U.S. I hate the use of hypenated Americans. You're either American or you're not.

It is very disappointing that he has decided to run Spanish ads when you have to know English to vote and only citizens can vote.

He grew up black in this country. You don't find that to be somewhat of a struggle? Even the richest, most powerful nonwhite ppl encounter discrimination or prejudice in some part(s) of their lives.

He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii and he went to some of the nation's most prestigious schools. Is this the norm for Mexicans?

Hawaii IS part of the United States and so are Chicago and Boston. Obama was able to achieve such great things because he is intelligent, not because his father was president of a large company or grandson of a senator, son of a Vice-Pres. Americans of any race can appreciate that quality in Obama.

Why do you apply these rules differently when it applies to Latinos with brown skin? You use the derisive term "anchor babies" instead of American to describe some people born in the US. If as you said the country in which your father was born is irrelevant why the different terminology?

How wonderful it must be to go through life making all your assumptions, decisions, and judgements based solely on your biases and prejudices.

Do you think that George Romney was in this nation illegally or simply visiting when Mitt was born?

Wow, this is so easy!
