Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz Diverge in Approach to Their Hispanic Identity
Keywords:
Tags:
Lizette Alvarez and Manny Fernandez provide this rivetting account of two Hispanic Senators in the U.S., both with Cuban backgrounds, one growing up in the Miami area around Cuban Americans, and the other in all white communities in Texas. Marco Rubio identifies with his Cuban background, but has distanced himself from immigration reforms he advocated that would provide undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship. Cruz does not identify with his Cuban American story, as much as he identifies with an immigrant story- his father left the Cuba of dictator Fulgencio Batista when he fled to the U.S. in 1956- and would tighten immigration enforcement and controls. Hispanics in Texas say they do not identify with Ted Cruz, who even changed his Spanish sounding name to Ted follwoing the advice of his Irish American mother. Cruz also attended Ivy league schools- Princeton and Harvard Law School, while Rubio took on large student loans to finish his law degree. Hispanics across the U.S. are shown as distancing themselves from the 2 candidates, expecially the large Mexican American community which has traditionally voted for Democrats.

Voter demographics in U.S. in 2014- Changes in Florida with more Puerto Rican Hispanics in the Orlando area and the smaller significance of the Cuban Hispanic vote
12/17/2014
The Democratic Party sees the Puerto Rican vote in and around Orlando reducing the importance of the Cuban Hispanic vote in Florida. The opening of diplomatic relations with Cuba in Dec. 2014 comes as the embargo era refugees are now a smaller part of the Hispanic population with a shift to a younger generation with no memories of the Fidel Castro period. Marc Rubio, Menendez and Ted Cruz are Cuban American politicians in the U.S. Congress who oppose the opening to Cuba.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
