TED CRUZ Launches National Petition Drive to Kill Immigration Bill

TED CRUZ LAUNCHES NATIONAL PETITION DRIVE AGAINST GANG OF EIGHT’S IMMIGRATION BILL–
border security

** Sign the petition here.

Breitbart.com reported:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) launched a national petition on Thursday to stop the Senate Gang of Eight’s amnesty bill and send Washington a “strong signal” of the grassroots opposition to the bill.

“This is urgent,” Cruz wrote in an e-mail to supporters. “We must stop this Gang of 8 immigration bill, which would give amnesty to an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants with no guarantee of a secure border.”

“The Senate debate is in the final stages and we need to send Washington a strong signal of the overwhelming grassroots opposition to this amnesty bill from Americans across the country,” Cruz explained.

Cruz urged supporters to share the petition with friends and to “act now–without delay–to help us defeat amnesty and stand for legal immigration!”

FYI: The current proposed bill will still allow illegal immigration.

If he didn’t make it a campaign fund petition it might have seemed a little more sincere. I just hope once we help push him up the ladder that he stays true to his core values retains integrity because we have an inordinate amount of lying politicians that start out ood and end up going to the dark side nowadays.

I’m disappointed. It doesn’t object to the legalization and path to citizenship (that is, amnesty) in Rubio’s bill, but only to current shortcomings in border security.

Also, it’s pretty clearly political campaign-linked (e.g., using his campaign logo and slogan), so in effect a vehicle for collecting contact info for potential supporters.

Anyone who votes for this bill should be charged with treason and punished accordingly.

This guy could easily take Marco’s place if he’s for real. But I to am reluctant to get behind any of these bozos anymore.

Yeah, I got the impression as well. I like Cruz. He is probably the best we can get right now.

I think in any elitist-engineered political fait accompli, the elitists must allow for some opposition to make the imposed change seem more legitimate.

Good for Cruz, but not a chance, IMO. And whether or not with its passage there actually is greatly enhanced border enforcement (promised), the damage will still come from the 11 (to 20) million illegals put on the path to citizenship, creating a de facto dictatorship for the Demonrats.

It gets worse. I phoned the petition number provided in his radio ads and he initially said that he would send me a free bumper sticker, but then starts a hard sell for a $100 or $200 donation.

If you don’t agree to at least the $100 donation he drops you from the call with no bumper sticker.

I didn’t want the bumper sticker anyway but would have considered sending him $40 if that option was available (until finding out it only addresses a border fence).

Apparently he can’t be bothered with small bills.

Find it strange when the excuse is being given that while the government knows whats going on in 300 million citizens lives but because the illegals are not citizens and in “the shadows” according to Florida’s Senator Rubio the US doesn’t know who they are or where they’re comming from so we must make them citizens..

FR’s ; are urged to visit their respective Congressional Representatives and let them know their feelings

WHEN IT COMES TO AMNESTY
THIS IS THE MEXICAN PART NO ONE DARES MENTION

If you agree with the above and the following please don’t let it lay here in FR-land. Pass it on to to your favorite talk show host and to your US legislators. PUSH THE HASTERT RULE.

ONE NATIONALITY AMNESTY SKEWS QUOTAS. FROM A COUNTRY WITH CLAIMS ON OUR SOVEREIGN TERRITORY LEADS TO PROBLEMS
In that May 3rd speech Obama gave before the Mexican Anthropological Museum in which he blamed America for the violence in Mexico I believe he went even futhur. There’s a inference but never referenced by name to the Gasden purchase and border settlements US made with Mexico where Obama hinted he seems to side with the Mexican claims. Would those in attendence share that view is a question that should be asked, because I believe they would,.he does.

SOLVING THE ‘LATINO” PROBLEM A MYTH HISPANIC IS NOT A RACE BUT A POLITICAL LINGUISTIC CONTRIVANCE ...don’t fall into the hyphenated Americans trap created by the hyphenated political party ...The DEMO-COMS

The Mexicans have been getting most favorable treatment above the rest of our neighbors both north and south. They’re permitted to cross our borders and enter illegally and are allowed access to rights of citizenship (with the exception of voting which if the democrat party regains control over the House will happen) other nationals entering this country don’t get.. Worse yet the Obama government has been working hand in glove with Mexican movements such as LaRaza supporting the Mexican claims which are also supporting “Amnesty”.

Also by allowing Mexicans to do this any quota ration for immigration from other south and central American countrys are taken up by Mexicans while that country is laying claim to a large chunk of our sovereign territory.It is a recipe forserious problems which are happening now.

ARE MEXICAN ILLEGALS SQUATTERS PERPETUATING THE MEXICAN CLAIMS ?

We are already seeing the result of this in certain areas claimed by the Mexicans. Their national flag (standard) gets displayed over ours. Where there is a controlling number of Mexican nationals (illegals). It’s displayed over certain institutions particularly schools accompanied by riots and disturbances. Blacks are threatend by Mexicans in certain sections of citys in those areas. We’re courting trouble by not placing a value on our sovereignty and our citizenship.

MOST COINS OF THE REALM HAVE TWO FACES WHAT ABOUT HOW ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS LIVING IN MEXICO BEING TREATED ?

Worse yet if a US citizen goes into Mexico never mind illegaly but legally. They’ll get 2nd class treatment. Land ownership in title is prohibited period. And there are a slew of regulations they must comply with. Which doesn’t apply to a citizen of Mexico

THE SOLUTION ASSERT OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND TALK RECIPROCITY .

By not insisting on reciprocity particularly on those who have entered this country illegally we’re offering no incentive for assimilation and we’re not easing the burden for our fellow citizens who for what ever reason decided to live in Mexico.

ENOUGH OF THE ONE WORLD SOCIALISM ...BRING BACK SOVEREIGNTY AND SANITY TO OUR COUNTRY .....BRING BACK BELIEF IN GOD ...THIS GOVERNMENT OUT OUR FACE..... OUR RELIGIONS..... AND OUR BEDROOMS..

Why not just annex a big chunk of Mexico and let the people stay there. We can send them their welfare checks. /s
