Watch: Ted Cruz Launches Anti-Obama Amnesty Effort
breitbart.com ^ | 9/16/14

Posted on 09/16/2014 6:44:57 AM PDT by cotton1706

In a video first released to Breitbart on Tuesday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) announced his effort to combat President Barack Obama’s potential executive amnesty action, which could come following November’s midterm elections.

Viewers are encouraged to visit StopObamasAmnesty.com to sign a petition.

“Sen. Ted Cruz is leading the fight to secure the border,” the video explained. “Stop Obama’s amnesty and celebrate legal immigration. But he needs your help to hold Obama and Senate Democrats accountable.”

The amnesty effort from Obama would likely include an expansion of his so-called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and apply it to an additional 5-6 million adult illegal immigrants, which is an objective that would appear to be making the 2014 Senate elections a referendum on this executive amnesty.

Should Obama be successful with his effort, according to some it would effectively end immigration enforcement in the United States.

Sounds like a rather naked ploy for donors and mailing list names. Yup, he’s running.

There are some freepers who are convinced that Cruz is pro-amnesty and never talks about it or takes a stand. This will not change their minds, lol

I never got the sense that Cruz was pro amnesty. Now Rand Paul on the other hand is far more likely to pull a George Bush and start pushing amnesty if elected.

Some complain when no one takes a stand and then complain when someone does.

Speaking for myself I'll keep it simple and support people who say things I agree with.

.......a tsunami of recent voter polls indicate massive voter revulsion for Democrats---a decisive vote of "no confidence." So much so that Democrats forced Obama to delay his plan to grant amnesty to millions of illegals---hoping to stave off disaster to protect uneasy Democrats from voter wrath in November.....

But slimeball Democrat Rep. Luis Gutierrez (Dem-Ill), the leading mouthpiece for amnesty giveaways, isn't taking Obama's dismissal lying down. Gutierrez said the Congressional Hispanic Caucus will meet to determine a formal response.

“No more excuses, I don’t care what senator is dangling in the wind, I don’t care what Republican proposal is being made,” he said. “I don’t care what happens. We are moving forward.”

===========================================

IS GUTIERREZ PLOTTING A COUP AGAINST DEMOCRATS?---his mouthings sound dangerously like a latino threat to Democrats.
Question is: are Democrats who have been so loyal going to allow Gutierrez to threaten their re/elections?

Democrats need to get cracking and demand to know the details
about an individual threatening their candidacies. For instance:

<><><> the number of identities Gutierrez is using now, or has ever used (driving a cab in Illinois);

<><><> the number of US govt check Gutierrez, his family, and his staff are cashing;

<><><> whether Gutierrez has ever been labled a ntl security threat; <><><> whether Gutierrez used infamous crooked Chicago tactics to get elected;

<><><> the list of his memberships in violent latino groups advocating the overthrow of the US govt;

<><> How many stolen Social Security numbers are his family, staff and political entourage using?

<><><> how many identities are the Guiterrez family and campaign entourage using?

<><><> are his family, supporters, and political entourage paid agents of foreign governments?

WHO IS GIVING GUTIERREZ HIS MARCHING ORDERS? Democrats need to get the FBI to subpoena Gutierrez's phone records, emails and snail mail, wire transfers, etc .....

<><> Examine his campaign contributors, foreign travel;

<><> did Gutierrez employ foreign agents as staff w/ US tax dollars?

<><> did Gutierrez ever file falsified documents w/ the federal government?

<><> did he ever make false statements on tax returns?

<><> did he ever apply for EITC refunds listing children "back Home" that are not related to him?

<><> does he earn outside income as a paid political consultant to foreign governments?

<><> did Gutierrez fail to register as an agent of a foreign government;

<><> Is Gutierrez and The Congressional Hispanic Caucus using tax dollars to conduct a coup against Democrats.

=================================================

FBI TIPS PAGE---https://tips.fbi.gov

<><> DEMOCRATS should demand Gutierrez, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other tax-funded latino groups, be investigated.

L/E should supboena Gutierrez' official filings, phone records, emails, snail mail copies, hard drives, bank accounts, checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, social media contacts, and the like.

==================================================

Democrats should demand to know who these people are communicating with, and who is directing their activities.

Democrats should demand to know if Gutierrez, his family, his staff, The Congressional Hispanic caucus, are colluding to dump Democrats, and whether they are consorting with violent organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt.

This would require the House to assert it’s Constitutional authority, thus it won’t happen.

“Stop Obama’s amnesty and celebrate legal immigration.

Maybe Cruz is good on amnesty, but does he think the present, annual legal immigraiton of 1.2 million should be increased? Or more work visas and H1Bs?

If legal immigration is so high that few resort to the illegal route, what has been accomplished? And polls show that most Americans think legal immigration should be decreased.

Where someone stands on immigration is several key questions: Amnesty for illegals? Actually secure the border with a fence and adequate BP on the border? Increase, decrease, or keep the 1.2 million immigration the same? And work visas and H1Bs. And enforcing our Visa system and all aspects of internal enforcement. And enforcement at the employer level, and punishing employers who violate immigration law?

And the absurd birthright citizenship. Until that is changed, the anchor baby will always be the pathway to staying in the US for large numbers of illegals.

I like what I hear from Cruz, but he seems to always soften his immigration stance with talk of "celebrating legal immigration" and more work visas and H1Bs.

I miss the days when headline writers understood English.
