Less than 24 hours ago, GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz announced he hired a new national spokesman after ousting his previous spokesman Rick Tyler in controversy.
However, the Cruz campaign may be headed for another controversy after not properly vetting its new national spokesman – a former party leader who was once caught hiring a deportation-dodging, illegal immigrant to work at the Republican Party.
Cruz’s new spokesman Ron Nehring, who served as the previous chairman of the California Republican Party, was “busted” for hiring an illegal immigrant who had been ordered to be deported by the Federal government, had failed to complete an I-9 form, and even sued the U.S. government in a multi-million-dollar wrongful arrest lawsuit. Nehring himself had directly hired the illegal immigrant to serve as chief executive of the Republican Party and to run party operations, including the handling of confidential information.
The illegal immigrant hire wasn’t Nehring’s only snafu.
Nehring also caused controversy when he hired another immigrant from Canada to serve as Deputy Political Director of the California Republican Party using the much-aligned H-1B program made popular under President George W. Bush. For that hire, Nehring was criticized widely by Republicans in his own state for failing to follow the guidelines of that Federal program, which states that a U.S. business must seek talented Americans to employ first. It is hard to envision that the chairman of a Republican Party in the most populous state in the nation could not find adequate talent to fill a political deputy role.
In addition, it turned out that Nehring’s direct hire was also violating U.S. immigration law and he was later fired after it was discovered he had violated his Visa.

Really? Who ain’t?
You?
Cruz, come on, man
Hypocrites!
I also want to know when Cruz is going to be asked if he disavows Glenn Beck’s threat to stab and keep stabbing Trump.
Oh whatever. Down here in Texas it is practically impossible to not hire an illegal at some point or another.
Do I want the border closed yes. Do I want legal immigration halted for 25 years. Yes.
Do I can about gotcha stories. No.
Spokesman not a HR guy.
Bill Cliton/ Eric Holder/ Jorge Bush/ Obama pointing a gun at the head of a Towers HR guy forced to not ask for papers in hiring foreigners.
Honey...do you read in critical mode?
We are ALL hypocrites in some fashion, oui?
Ted is either naive or just power hungry and listening to the wrong people
Were they Polish? Did they just get done building a tower?
Hypocrites!
Hypocrites!
PING
C’mon now. If this happened in Trump’s campaign, there’d be 10 threads posted about it already by rabid Cruz supporters.
I can enjoy this minor bit of schadenfreude.
Mr Goldman Sachs is unTWUSDted!
It’s not a party until Identity Politics Barbie starts hurling Bible quotes at you, while remaining willfully ignorant about how they also apply to her.
Heck, Trump hired foreign workers — legally — for his Florida hotel and the Cruz people went ballistic. Now we have a Cruz guy hiring ILLEGAL workers and it’s a [shrug] “who hasn’t?”
One candidate has hired illegals.
One candidate hired someone who once hired illegals.
I hardly think that makes him, or me, a hypocrite. Have fun with that word though.
If Cruz wins and makes Trump his VP — He would be doing exactly the same thing.
