	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Ted is such a BULLY!!!

It's about time we got one of those on our side. There are plenty on the other side.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The Rats on the committee will shoot it down.

[parthian shot]

Thank God for Ted Cruz!

[cotton1706]

Call their bluff, Ted! Do they actually want these people to be here so they can work and care for their families, etc, and add to the American story or do they really want to open the doors to breed democratic voters.

[Venturer]

Cannot understand for the life of me why people who are elected to protect us would be giving away our country to foreign invaders.

That’s what this is you know.

These people are indeed foreign invaders.

Nothing should be done to make hem citizens until we stop more of them from invading us.

This is what? The 4th Amnesty? None of them worked before and this one won’t work either unless we control the borders.

[cripplecreek]

Go home and do it right or forever forfeit any chance at citizenship.

[3Fingas]

Rubio keeps digging a larger hole for himself. Cruz is the only one out there looking out for us on this issue. The irony of a man born in Canada being the sole defender of our borders is just too much to observe.

[Neoliberalnot]

Cruz is more about doing what is good for the country and less about politics. We need another 534 just like him.

Ted does not know that once these illegal immigrants are granted “legal status”, the next step is to introduce legislation (perhaps a year or more later) that grants them full citizenship rights—All it takes is one more Congress to amend the law or to make a new one.

Give them an inch, they will take a mile.

Is the border secure yet?

[luvie]

I’m lovin’ my Ted Cruz more every single day that he fights for America and American values!

[i_robot73]

In a press release, America’s Voice, a leading national group that advocates for more lenient immigration laws, singled out Cruz’s anti-citizenship amendment as particularly worrisome.

“This would not only destroy the path to citizenship in the Senate bill—the popular heart of an immigration reform solution—but also turn its back on 100 years of precedent in immigration policy,” said the release.

Complete BS. You see, the immigration push from early last century was done with many more hurdles in place, people can to ASSIMILATE and become Americans (notice, no hyphen), with no safety net...and LEGALLY.

These amendments will kill the bill so far as the Democrats are concerned. Leahey’s amendment allowing for homosexuals to get their gay partner residency will kill the bill for conservatives. The whole issue is dead, just waiting for the body to hit the ground.
