Pro and anti illegal immigrant protestors demonstrate outside Ted Cruz offices
Examiner ^ | August 15, 2014 | Mark Whittington

Posted on 08/16/2014 11:17:10 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

A Thursday story in Breitbart News reported that pro illegal immigration demonstrators and anti-illegal demonstrators, numbering about 20 a piece, protested outside the Houston offices of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. It has been previously announced that a group claiming to represent young illegal immigrants would attempt to forcibly occupy Cruz’s offices. Instead a delegation of six of the protestors were invited to meet with Cruz’s staff to air their grievances.

Cruz has taken something of a hard line against the surge of illegal immigrants, many of them unaccompanied children, which has inundated the southern border in recent months. In a recent piece in the Texas Tribune, he suggested that Obama administration policies, when included deferred deportation of minors who have crossed the border, is to blame. He also suggested that the children being sent into the United States are being abused and even killed by drug cartel coyote human traffickers who are taking them.

“The direct cause of the border crisis that Texas is now forced to address is the president's 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. In 2011, before this policy was enacted without approval from Congress, roughly 6,000 unaccompanied children were apprehended at the border; in 2014, with the policy in effect, an estimated 90,000 children will cross the border, many of them smuggled by vicious criminals.

“If amnesty is granted to those who come as children, many more children will come. And those children are being victimized, many physically and sexually assaulted by violent drug cartel coyotes. It is not compassionate to act like the Democrats, who are doing nothing to stop tens of thousands of little girls and boys from being abused.

As I said yesterday, good on Cruz for making any kind of an argument, for pragmatism's sake. But it's quite frustrating that no one seems able to make the argument about the harm this is doing to legal taxpaying American citizens, and their children. It always has to be framed as to how it might affect the lawbreakers, the disease-bringers, the leeches.

......from a CIS report: “There is little evidence to suggest that the recent border arrivals (enrolling in US schools) are victims of "trafficking", (which involves coercion). The border swarm are families accompanying their children....all of them willing participants in smuggling operations. These "impoverished Central Americans" are paying smugglers (up to $10,000) to bring them into the United States. “Human trafficking and human smuggling are distinct criminal activities....the terms are not interchangeable,” says ICE....

At the recent House Judiciary hearing on immigration, Cong Gohmert had this eye-opening exchange with the Obama appointee rubber-stamping illegals into the US from 144 countries:

GOHMERT: WRT drug cartels paid $6000-10,000 each to "guide" the hordes over the border---"Would you, as a former prosecutor, call them criminals?" Gohmert nonchalantly asked Obama appointee, Leon Rodriguez--now heading USCIS--- a DHS agency.

The smirking Rodriguez stepped headlong into the trap as Cong Gohmert casually hoisted him on his own petard.....making the point that if the hordes were coming here to escape drug cartels, why is it they are consorting w/ the nasty criminals, and are paying the violent breed to accompany them over the border?

Definitely not the behavior of someone in mortal fear, "forced" to escape to the US for protection. More likely, the swarm is in collusion w/ the cartels. Better check those backpacks.

/////

USCIS rubber-stamper Leon Rodriguez, a recent Obama appointee, oversees the legitimization of the border swarm. Moreover, Rodriguez administers EB-5 visas as head of USCIS (A DHS agency).....EB-5's are said to involve major threats to US national security.

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

BACKSTORY In an earlier statement----citing a Homeland Security Investigations memo----Sen Charles Grassley said the oversight federal agency ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas:

1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.

2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.

3) Use by terrorists.

4) Investment fraud by regional center.

5) Investment fraud by investors.

6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.

7) Illicit finance/money laundering.

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

Rodriguez's confirmation hearings revealed he was a board member of Casa Maryland---a latino-centric advocacy group---pushing for unlimited immigration, and has connections to nationwide immigrant groups.

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

ACTION--CONTACT FBI TIPS PAGE WEB SITE---YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS---https://tips.fbi.gov

<><> Taxpayers demand Rodriguez, USCIS, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other tax-funded latino groups, be investigated. Supboena 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.

<><> Taxpayers demand to know if govt factotums like Rodriguez, and the aforementioned tax-funded groups, are consorting with violent organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt.

<><> TAXPAYERS demand to know who these people are communicating with, and who is directing their activities.

Amen. It’s like Americans, citizens, taxpayers, just don’t matter anymore, except to the extent that they can serve, and pay for, the precious invaders.
