U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s announcement that he is running for the Republican presidential nomination is great news for Democrats: He will push the other Republican hopefuls to the right on immigration, further scaring away Hispanic voters and making it more difficult for Republicans to win next year’s elections.
The Canadian-born son of a Cuban father and a U.S.-born mother, Cruz — a first-term Republican senator from Texas — is one of the most rabid critics of President Barack Obama’s executive action to regularize the legal status of up to 5 million undocumented immigrants, most of them Hispanic.
Cruz has called on Congress to defund Obama’s measures to give temporary legal status to undocumented immigrants who pay taxes and meet other conditions, and has supported greater local police powers to ask people who are detained on the street about their immigration status.
Not surprisingly, a recent Latino Decisions poll found that, despite Cruz’s Hispanic heritage, he has little support among Latinos. The poll of Latino support for several Republican hopefuls, including Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Rand Paul and Cruz, found that Cruz and Paul were the least liked among Hispanic voters....

More bullcrap from the left.
Sigh! I don’t see any mention of the fact that Obama’s amnesty is unlawful, not just according to Ted Cruz, but Obama himself declared 22 times that he did not have the constitutional power to grant amnesty to anyone and only congress could do it. And oh there is the matter of the federal judge who made a ruling agreeing with Ted Cruz. Let’s see how the Hispanic vote for Hilary goes when they find out they are not getting that amnesty, after the Appeals Court, then the Supremes rule against Obama. The law is very clear on this.
............................. further scaring away Hispanic voters and making it more difficult for Republicans to win next year’s elections.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Buahahahahahahahaha!
The fact is that most Hispanics are conservative Roman Catholics. They will vote for Hispanic immigrant Cruz in the millions.
Buahahahahahahahahahahaha! The Left retards are getting so desperate that their narrow mindedness is poisoning them......GOOOOOOD!( How dare an Hispanic immigrant presidential candidate actually BE Republican?)
So I’m guessing the beast already has it worked out for Huma Abedin to be the moderator in the debates?
Technically, Obama isn’t granting amnesty to anyone. He is declining to prosecute them.
We as conservatives should be out there telling everyone we know that we’re gonna get their names and addresses and then go pick them up in a couple years.
Are you asserting that being Catholics immunizes them from feeding at the Democrat trough.
You got that right.
Univision has already said Cruz has a huge following from the Hispanic community .. and it’s not the illegals.
Think twice Hitlery. Remember when Rush pushed Obama over you because he was ‘unwinable’ in the general election. It was called ‘Operation Chaos ‘.
You got that wrong, Rush pushed hildabeast over obama and that was "Operation Chaos" I know, because I registered as a DemonRAT to vote for the bitch in the demonRAT primary in PA.
I've never managed to get the taste of that out of my mouth.
You’re right and wrong
Rush vacillated and when one candidate was ahead he would switch to the other. Problem was he did more harm than good when he pushed zer0 in a number of states and those states were won.
As I look back over the last 25 years, I wonder if Rush has accomplished anything at all in politics.
I have listened since 1988. More and more I find that by checking in here at FreeRepublic in the morning, I wind up hearing his entire show in the afternoon, and even some of the opinions expressed here, without any attribution.
So, I listen less.
I don’t need someone commenting and/or joking about the sad state of affairs we are in.
We need solutions and leadership, or America is finished.
Rush can take his iced teas and books and go offshore.
The rest of us cannot.
The author is racist; he doesn’t want a Hispanic President.
I guess the polls that show a majority of voters oppose amnesty don’t matter.
Well if the illegals are already voting they don’t.
According to the snarky Democrat media at the time, the Democrat Party was “praying” (highly unlikely, actually) that Ronald Reagan would be running against Jimmah Cahtah, too. How did that turn out for them?

Bullship. Rush never axed his listeners to register to vote for obama, only for hillary, and that was "Operation Chaos".
If you can show me a single audio clip where Rush, using "operation chaos" had his audience register and vote for obama in any demonRAT primary, I'll send a $100 to the pubbie candidate of your choice, if not just say you were wrong. PERIOD.
Man, what a show!
It’s as beautiful and awe inspiring as fireworks on the 4th of July.
CRUZ!
Actually he is giving resident permits and work permits to illegals, which is quite different from not prosecuting them.
I have news for the left... Hispanic CITIZENS (you know, the ones that actually can vote) don’t want the illegals here either! (because they take jobs away from them too!)
Cruz got a huge portion of the hispanic vote in Texas when he won.
He’ll get a huge percentage of Hispanics this time, too. Those who came here legally are not pro-amnesty.
Can I just say, I LOVE TEXAS! If I ever moved, I’d be heading your way.
