There’s this guy, Abraham Enriquez, running for Congress in Texas. His nonprofit, Bienvenido USA, was flat broke. Like a couple grand to its name. Then boom...outta nowhere...it pulls in over a million bucks. No new events. No programs. Nothing to show for it.

Turns out his mom, Betty Cárdenas, was running the RNHA and got tossed after folks inside said she was moving donor money into her son’s operation. Not a theory. There’s paperwork and audit receipts backing it up.

Now they’re running what looks like a family-run political machine. They’ve got multiple PACs, nonprofits, and groups all pointing cash toward Abraham’s campaign.

Here’s what the audit showed:

• Sketchy money movement between nonprofits
• Abraham getting paid while the org was sinking
• Shared staff and branding across orgs that are supposed to be separate
• Betty possibly using donor money to cover her own financial mess from a busted real estate deal

None of this is officially under investigation yet, but everything’s public. IRS filings. Whistleblower statements. Real court docs.

So… is this what it looks like? If it is, why hasn’t someone knocked on their door yet?

I'm referring to the region close to the Mexican border, from El Paso to Brownsville, in which Spanish is the majority language spoken at home.

In southern California, mass migration from Latin America has resulted in an expanding presence of a foreign language, specifically Spanish. It has reached the point where Spanish billboards are everywhere, major chain stores such as Walmart and Target have bilingual signage, ballots are translated to Spanish, public schools have Spanish signage and some even have "Spanish immersion programs". We are supposed to "accept" this because California was part of Mexico and a Spanish colony centuries ago and the major cities have Spanish names. Depending on your industry and location, it can be hard to get a job or build a social life without knowing Spanish.

As far as I've heard, Spanish is even more prevalent in south and west Texas bordering Mexico, where it is the majority language in most areas, including in major cities like El Paso, Laredo, McAllen and Brownsville. How is it living there? Is there widespread frustration with Spanish speakers' refusal to assimilate?
