Why was Trump the first one to put a face on the American victims of criminal aliens? There are 55,000 criminal aliens in federal prisons and 296,000 in state and local jails. Tens of thousands of Americans have been killed by criminal aliens and millions have been victims of criminal aliens. Where has Cruz been on this issue or any of the Reps for that matter except for Jeff Sessions and Steve King?
As a critical step to protecting families and inviting more people to enter legally, in 2014, Sen. Cruz proposed legislation to prevent Obama from illegally expanding amnesty. The House acted to solve the ongoing crisis and passed bills that closely mirrored Sen. Cruz’s proposals, but regrettably the Senate Democrats refused to allow a vote on the measures.
In 2013, Sen. Cruz proposed amendments to the “Gang of 8” bill that would strengthen border security, expand green card opportunities, increase high-skilled “H1B” visas, prevent illegal aliens from receiving welfare benefits, and enforce the rule of law.
