Lo and behold, there are Latinos who support Senator Ted Cruz’s candidacy for President of the United States. That was the discovery Univision made while covering the Texas Senator’s presidential campaign announcement at Liberty University.
Reporting for Noticiero Univisión, correspondent Lourdes Meluzá noted that among others, Cruz aims to capture the support of Evangelical voters, including among the young. Meluzá encountered two such prospective voters of Latino origin, both of whom were enthusiastic at the prospect of a Cruz presidency.
The first young Latino supporter featured in the report was Daniel Solórzano, who said of Cruz “the principal thing is that his values are Christian, that is what impacts me.” Solórzano added that he’s in the process of becoming an American citizen, and concluded of Cruz “I believe my vote will be for him.”
The second Latino student featured in the story, Liberty University student Stephen Hoagland, heaped praise upon a part of Cruz’s speech in which the Senator affirmed his positive view of immigration.
“Imagine a legal immigration system that welcomes and celebrates those who come to achieve the American dream,” Cruz declared to enthusiastic applause.
That part of Sen. Cruz’s presidential campaign announcement speech, which Hoagland characterized as “very good” was not included in the Univision report.
