Conservative lawmakers have put pressure on House Speaker John Boehner to add items to the emergency border security measure so conservatives in Congress can support it, and tea party leader Jenny Beth Martin says that the House leadership is finally listening.
"What I'm seeing this morning from Capitol Hill and this afternoon is that finally the House leadership is paying attention to what the conservatives want," Martin told Ed Berliner on "MidPoint" on Newsmax TV Friday.
"They're going back and they're modifying the supplemental bill," she explained. However, the president and co-founder of Tea Party Patriots says that "we will see what comes in the language" to see if they are actually listening to conservative lawmakers such as Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Jeff Sessions of Alabama as well as Reps. Michelle Bachman of Minnesota, Steve King of Iowa, and Louie Gohmert of Texas.
Cruz and the other lawmakers have said that the immigration bill needs to bring an end to the Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA) program, which was an executive order signed by President Barack Obama in 2012. Many have cited DACA as one of the causes of the latest influx of immigrant minors.
"The DACA language that Senator Cruz wrote is very strong language," Martin said. "We'd like that attached to the supplemental bill."

looking like its Obama vs Cruz.
Americans will ultimately back Cruz.
Finally, someone competent to lead the House into battle with Rustler Reid and his minions in the Senate.
Since 1. and 2. are abstract and he could simply change his mind, the very concrete 3. would be his signature issue. If Cruz promises to build the fence in one year, he will win in a landslide, despite the howls of the Rats and their allied MSM.
