Tea Party Leader: House GOP Finally Listening on Border (to Speaker Cruz)
newsmax ^ | 8/1/14 | c coren

Conservative lawmakers have put pressure on House Speaker John Boehner to add items to the emergency border security measure so conservatives in Congress can support it, and tea party leader Jenny Beth Martin says that the House leadership is finally listening.

"What I'm seeing this morning from Capitol Hill and this afternoon is that finally the House leadership is paying attention to what the conservatives want," Martin told Ed Berliner on "MidPoint" on Newsmax TV Friday.

"They're going back and they're modifying the supplemental bill," she explained. However, the president and co-founder of Tea Party Patriots says that "we will see what comes in the language" to see if they are actually listening to conservative lawmakers such as Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Jeff Sessions of Alabama as well as Reps. Michelle Bachman of Minnesota, Steve King of Iowa, and Louie Gohmert of Texas.

Cruz and the other lawmakers have said that the immigration bill needs to bring an end to the Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA) program, which was an executive order signed by President Barack Obama in 2012. Many have cited DACA as one of the causes of the latest influx of immigrant minors.

"The DACA language that Senator Cruz wrote is very strong language," Martin said. "We'd like that attached to the supplemental bill."

If Ted Cruz runs on 1. No Amnesty 2. No benefits for illegals. 3. Building the double fence from sea to sea in one year, he will win in a landslide.

Since 1. and 2. are abstract and he could simply change his mind, the very concrete 3. would be his signature issue. If Cruz promises to build the fence in one year, he will win in a landslide, despite the howls of the Rats and their allied MSM.

Just wait until October 2014 ...

when all those "innocent" American school-kids are getting semi-lethal diseases from those "Trojan Horse" illegal alien "orphans" ...

and their parents and grand-parents are freaked-out over the sickness and hospital bills.

Those same parents and grandparents will want to "hang" the Democrat-RINO political whores who've spawned that medical nightmare.

This will be the political equivalent of the movie "There will be Blood".
