It is no secret that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush â the very early GOP presidential favorite â has struggled to catch any traction on the road to the White House. Glenn Beck, though, shared Monday a new âreally honorableâ theory about why Bush might still be in the running.
According to Beckâs theory, Bush knows there is no path to the nomination but is convinced that someone has to stop his biggest rival and No. 1 critic, fellow Republican hopeful Donald Trump.
âThis would make Jeb one of the most honorable men you could ever imagine. Heâs going through this humiliation because he and the family believe something, somebody has got to stand up and say these things about Donald Trump,â Beck said on The Glenn Beck Radio Program.
Sen. Cruz Files Additional Amendments to Immigration Legislation
Cruz 1324: Green Card (LPR) reform to modernize, streamline and expand legal immigration Provisions of his amendment include:
Doubling the overall worldwide green card caps from 675,000 visas per year to 1.35 million per year (not including refugees and asylees):
Employment-based green cards: Consolidates the 5 existing employment-based visas into a single high-skilled employment-based visa.
Family-based green cards: Creates a single family-based visa category that treats all immigrant families equally by redefining "immediate relatives" as "spouses, minor children, and parents of citizens or LPRs."
Treating immigrants from all countries equally by eliminating the diversity visa program and the per-country visa caps: Currently, immigrants of identical skill may experience drastically different wait times and burdens based merely on their country of origin. Not only is this inequitable, it hurts our ability to attract the best and brightest.
Reducing bureaucracy: Creates a user-friendly online portal where visa applicants can apply and obtain updates on their application.
Cruz 1325: Increase high-skilled temporary worker visas (H-1B visas) five-fold
This amendment would improve our nationâs legal immigration system by increasing the H-1B cap from 65,000 to 325,000. It would also help America retain the people it educates by authorizing dual-intent student visas and address the need for high-skilled labor by creating a block grant to promote domestic high-skilled workers.
Cruz 1326: Combines Cruz 1324 and Cruz 1325. Implements Green Card reform to streamline and expand legal immigration and increases high-skilled temporary worker visas five fold.
Cruz 1320: Create border security triggers that can be measured objectively by Congress and provide the resources and capabilities necessary to secure the border
Cruz 1321: Prohibit federal, state, or local entitlement benefits for those here illegally
Cruz 1322: Ensure that illegal immigrants who are given legal status under this bill are not given a path to citizenship
Cruz 1323: Combines Cruz 1322 and Cruz 1321. Provides that those who are granted legal status under the bill are ineligible for welfare and for citizenship
Cruz 1324: Green Card (LPR) reform to modernize, streamline and expand legal immigration
Cruz 1325: Increase high-skilled temporary worker visas (H-1B visas) five-fold
Cruz 1326: Combines Cruz 1324 and Cruz 1325. Implements Green Card reform to streamline and expand legal immigration and increases high-skilled temporary worker visas five fold.
Woah, I did not know Glenn Beck was 6’4”, that he let his wife get beat up at OW event, and I don’t understand what you mean it is a moment of honor and faith.
Seriously, can you fill me in on this—I am drawing a total blank!
Maybe CRuz was wearing Rubio’s Cuban heel boots, in that ‘swearing in’ pic.
Baloney. He's getting tossed on the cart because we know the Shrubberoes sold the USA down the river.
And there's room on that cart for Beck too.
