McALLEN — A flurry of criticism from his national counterparts pushed Rev. Armando Vera, founder of the nation’s first Hispanic Tea Party, to modify his previous statements in support of a divisive immigration bill.

In July, the Pharr pastor told The Monitor his organization tries to protect the Hispanic perspectives that the more established, “Angloâ€

Why is there a "Hispanic" Tea Party ? This is just more seperatist BS trying to appear similar to the Tea Party as a smoke screen to confuse voters. imo

The ones wearing "illegal and proud" t-shirts. Are they the ones that love this nation? Someone please tell me how they have contributed other than collecting a free education, free medical care and free welfare benefits.
