Sen. Ted Cruz: Hispanics Don't Panhandle

"I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Hispanic panhandler. And the reason is: In our community it would be shameful to be begging on the street. I think the Hispanic community is a fundamentally conservative community. If you look at the values that resonate in our community, they’re faith, family, patriotism, hard work,” Cruz said. “Now if you want people to work their fingers to their bone, hard work, you’ll have Hispanic men and women lining up to work hard to provide for their families. Those are all conservative values." - Sen. Ted Cruz, speaking yesterday with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

And then he tweeted this.
