Cruzs predictable over the top anti-Obama diatribe was crude and
over the top. But other GOP leaders have been just as quick to pounce on him using only a slightly more delicate phrasing. They accused Obama of creating the border crisis. They should be the last to finger point him. In the last decade, the GOP has drum beat the issue of the U.S. supposedly out of control southern border with Mexico to scuttle any deal on immigration reform. And there certainly have been many attempts to put forth a deal on reform. In fact, the best moment to get a deal through on reform came nearly a decade ago when Democrats and a handful of Republicans backed a reform bill. Then President George W. Bush publicly supported the bill and urged passage. But that was only so much show. Republican senators then went to work. They dumped crippling demands in the bill for tight amnesty, citizenship and iron tight border security. Leading Republican presidential contenders that year flatly opposed the bill with the charge that it was much too soft on amnesty and border enforcement. Bush didnt help matters. Though he urged passage, he did not actively jaw bone GOP House reps and senators to fully back the bill. The damaging consequence for the GOP is that the partys hard line opposition to immigration reform undid the inroads that Bush made in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections when he scored gains with Latino voters. A big part of that was due to the perception that Bush would push hard for immigration reform. The GOP instead stayed true to form to its ingrained, nativist xenophobia on what American citizenship should be about.

yeah ...why do what AMERICANS want done when the illegal alien lobby has more clout.
A permanent underclass due to an over abundance of unskilled workders is the path to permanent democrat party control.
“The GOP instead stayed true to form to its ingrained, nativist xenophobia on what American citizenship should be about.”
This guy is just another liberal idiot. And he’s black. He doesn’t understand how illegals hurt blacks or else he just doesn’t care.
Call me when the border’s secure.
Call me when the law is enforced.
.....I’ll be at the reloading bench, myself.
Just keep allowing these illegals to pour in and soon this country will start looking like the countries that they are fleeing.
