Cornyn Embraces Amnesty After Supreme Court Ruling
Texas Scorecard ^ | 6/18/2020 | Brandon Waltens

Posted on 03/16/2021 12:23:42 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

After the United States Supreme Court upheld an Obama-era amnesty program, Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (TX) says now is the time for a “permanent solution” to provide amnesty for an entire class of illegal aliens.

Created in an executive order by then-President Barack Obama in 2012 after Congress declined to pass comprehensive immigration reform, DACA permitted some illegal aliens to remain in the United States and prevented law enforcement officials from deporting them.

The lawless program was challenged by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and President Donald Trump as unconstitutional. In a 5-4 decision on Thursday, George W. Bush-appointed Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the court’s liberals to prevent Trump from dismantling the program.

After the decision was released, Cornyn took to the floor of the U.S. Senate to deliver a nearly 20-minute speech, in which he said the decision had “thrust upon us a unique moment and an opportunity.”

“We need to take action and pass legislation that will unequivocally allow these young men and women to stay in the only home, the only country, they’ve known,” he added.

Cornyn doubled down on the comments in a series of posts on Twitter, in which he defended his comments—in both English and Spanish—saying illegal alien DACA recipients “deserve nothing less.”

There are no permanent solutions.
There is only a ratchet.
And the ratchet turns to the Left.
If you let it turn.

I hate politicians.

You and me both and I especially despise Cornrow and regret the times way back when that I voted for him, just like the regrets I have voting for the Bushes. They’re all alike. We need a wall to keep Cornrow OUT of Texas! He stinks up the place!

If these people were who they contend to be, then it would not be necessary to translate the comments to Spanish!

Me thinks he thinks Texas is going purple.

With RINO enablers like Cornyn, red is the new purple.

That’s nice he agrees there should be a “permanent Solution”. What about the millions of immigrants trying to come here legally? Just because they’re here, they get special treatment? They broke the law by coming here and now Cornyn’s rewarding them. NICE!! Jacka&*#.

I think there should be chimps on the Supreme Court. They look really good in black robes ands Roberts would feel at home with the shit fights.

He is a traitor, Cornyn only talks when he needs money for campaigning, but otherwise he’s been a traitor all along. He plays games with Second Amendment, then withholds action, Now here he sells out for amnesty. Shameful.

Why would you post this old article as “news?”

It’s very telling that you seem to focus on the GOP and virtually ignore Democrats.

Your Soros slip is showing.

We tried our best to primary Cornhole out the last election but he had the incumbent’s advantage. Conservative voter guides didn’t help by giving him high marks of the “conservative scale.” What a joke.

I thought Ted Kennedy said there would never be another amnesty.

Democrats wouldn’t lie, would they?

Decepticon GOPe grifters solving” the Democrat created crises by turning illegal executive orders into law which accelerates the colonization of America and the fiscal rape of Americans by forcing them to pay for it.

Revolution seems the only answer.
