Bernie Moreno Republican
“People claim Hispanic immigrants cannot find their IDs after coming to America. I am Hispanic, and I do not have my ID on me right now either, so maybe that is true.”
“Do you think it is possible that in a country like Colombia that has incredible amounts of ethnic diversity and Hispanics--like myself, I was born there--that when you are Hispanic and you are in Colombia, you are able to find your ID, but that when you cross the border, you lose that ability? And I am thinking to myself: Is that true? And then I went to find my driver’s license here. I actually do not currently possess my ID on me. So maybe there is something to this idea that Hispanics who enter America cannot find their ID. Do you think that is possible?”
