Sen. Ted Cruz Announces He Will Be Joining Glenn Beck at the Border This Weekend
The Blaze ^ | 07/18/2014 | Erica Ritz

Posted on 07/18/2014 7:34:13 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz confirmed Thursday that he will be joining Glenn Beck and Mercury One at the border in McAllen, Texas, on Saturday to feed, clothe, and provide toys for illegal immigrant children.

Catherine Frazier, a spokeswoman for the senator, told TheBlaze in an email: “Tens of thousands of children are being smuggled into the United States by dangerous drug cartels and transnational gangs – it is heartless to allow that to continue.”

“But while we work to reverse the policies that have caused this tragedy, it is important we recognize the human element of this crisis, and Sen. Cruz is glad to join Glenn Beck and Mercury One in that effort to provide some relief from the suffering this administration is causing,” Frazier continued.

RE: Why would kids under federal control inside the United States, starve?

They won’t and that’s my point, we shouldn’t starve them.

But we should send them home immediately ( by plane ).

Why is Mexico never held accountable for their own?

RE: I like Cruz a lot and think he should not have anything to do with Beck.

But now that he is doing just that, how does that affect his chances as Presidential candidate?

Is he now going to be pariah like Marco Rubio?

Who’s left to support ?

You just proved my point.....

If our pResident refuses to enforce our laws, who is our next line of defense and authority? Our elected officials, right?

Handing out food and toys won’t force this regime to change one thing.

That’s like asking why are the Palestinians shooting rockets at Israel?

I think the more important question is this -— GIVEN that Mexico is an irresponsible country, what should the USA do?

Well, the elected official, Ted Cruz is doing what he can based on the powers he has as legislator.

He is sponsoring legislation to end Obama’s amnesty and to humanely and expeditiously reunite these children with their families back home.

I am not here to judge their motives whether or not it is for show ( I can’t read their hearts ).

I don’t see anything wrong with their PERSONALLY ( not using tax dollars ) supporting the above private organizations with their presence.

Why would you even be talking about such an absurd thing as kids starving in America while under the care and custody of the federal government?

Bend over and let them (Mexico and Central America) take over?

Let warren Buffett and Bill Gates buy Mexico?

I’m outta suggestions...other than trying to put a tourniquet on the wound...and not cutting it deeper or let the infection get worse.

My guess is that Cruz will make sure that our side benefits from his doing this.

And oh yeah, if Cruz is dead to FReepers as POTUS candidate because of what he’s doing with Beck, what about the other conservative, Mike Lee?

It just so happened that Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) dropped out of the trip with Beck, saying a scheduling conflict prevented him from attending.

Does this mean he could have joined Cruz and Beck if he had no scheduling conflict?

I am answering the person as a matter of US POLICY.

He gave me the impression that we ( as in the USA ) should not even be feeding these kids while they are here. That’s why I asked the question.

That’s your opinion. As for me, I can’t presume to determine what his motive is UNLESS HE SAYS IT OUT LOUD.

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS IF WE HAD A COMPETENT LEADER ( which we don’t ):

1) BUILD THE DOUBLE BARRIER BORDER.

2) SEND THE KIDS HOME (BY PLANE) ASAP.

What’s so hard about that?

And oh yeah, while we’re at it.... CALL PRESIDENT ENRIQUE NIETO and tell him (yes insist) to get our marine out of their jail ASAP.

HOW TO SEND THE 60,000 kids home by plane...

1) Charter 10 planes that can fit 250 people.

2) 1 two way flight a day for each plane to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras ( 1 way for the kids of course ).

That’s 2,500 kids a day.

That should dispose off every one within 25 days.
