I don't think that was leftest so much as I think it was a poorly thought out political tactic. Cruz was hoping some people would like him blaming the violence on Trump, but it didn't work out that way.
(At least not so far as anyone who mattered is concerned.)
But me, I still cant get past Cruz own Tweet advocating mass legalization. That is Leftist on so many levels.
I do not know what you are talking about here. What tweet?
Here is the Cruz Tweet:
9:37 AM - 19 Jun 2013
We need to secure the border. Any bill this body passes should have border security first & then legalization. Not the other way around.
I realize Cruz stipulates border security first. But I don’t want the mass legalization afterward. Too many of these Foreign Invaders have demonstrated that they are here to undercut America. What’s more, they broke the law to get here. The last thing they need is to be rewarded with legal status. [Btw, anyone who claims Trump supports touch back amnesty is clueless. Sessions co-wrote Trump’s immigration policy, and approved the final draft. Sessions does not support touch back amnesty.]
