This time, it's not "the two-bit Chicago street punk". What the Republican caucus is telling Boehner is that they want a bill that addresses DACA (the "Dreamer" executive order) and disallows any further implementation in the future. That's Ted Cruz's bill...and Rep. Marsha Blackburn has offered a version of it in the House.
Slowly, but surely, Ted Cruz is pre-empting the GOP leadership in the Congress.
Pre-empt the House leadership?
There is no leadership in the House. And that has been the problem.
Bonehead works for the Amnesty pimps.
When the issue is immigration, I find no comfort in Ted Cruz being in charge.
In 2000, Cruz helped write GWBush’s immigration policy, which evolved to become the Bush/McCain Amnesty in 2006.
In 2012, Cruz publicly supported more work visas for Texas farmers and ranchers.
In 2013, Cruz wrote an amendment for the Gang of Eight immigration bill that increased H1B work visas by FIVE times.
Finally, Ted Cruz has NEVER criticized our current immigration policy which allows 1.1 million new Green Cards each year, and 750,000 new citizens each year.
