Less than 24 hours ago, GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz announced he hired a new national spokesman after ousting his previous spokesman Rick Tyler in controversy.
However, the Cruz campaign may be headed for another controversy after not properly vetting its new national spokesman – a former party leader who was once caught hiring a deportation-dodging, illegal immigrant to work at the Republican Party.
Cruz’s new spokesman Ron Nehring, who served as the previous chairman of the California Republican Party, was “busted” for hiring an illegal immigrant who had been ordered to be deported by the Federal government, had failed to complete an I-9 form, and even sued the U.S. government in a multi-million-dollar wrongful arrest lawsuit. Nehring himself had directly hired the illegal immigrant to serve as chief executive of the Republican Party and to run party operations, including the handling of confidential information.
The illegal immigrant hire wasn’t Nehring’s only snafu.
Nehring also caused controversy when he hired another immigrant from Canada to serve as Deputy Political Director of the California Republican Party using the much-aligned H-1B program made popular under President George W. Bush. For that hire, Nehring was criticized widely by Republicans in his own state for failing to follow the guidelines of that Federal program, which states that a U.S. business must seek talented Americans to employ first. It is hard to envision that the chairman of a Republican Party in the most populous state in the nation could not find adequate talent to fill a political deputy role.
In addition, it turned out that Nehring’s direct hire was also violating U.S. immigration law and he was later fired after it was discovered he had violated his Visa.

Cruz couldn’t survive 10% of the attacks Trump is getting.
He would be long forgotten by now.
Okay, Glenn Bates is good! Too funny!
Now tell me Raphael Edward Cruz's Canadian citizenship, which he recently renounced, does not matter!!!
Just like Trump. But Ron probably wasn’t fined $1 million.
Hypocrites!
While this may reflect a bit embarrassing for Cruz and his vetting policies, it really worth the bandwidth wasted posting it here.
Glenn Bates?
Did he escape the Bates Motel again?
Hypocrites!
Considering that Trump has admitted to hiring illegals for his resorts and was found guilty of using illegal labor on Trump Tower and not paying them properly, Trump supporters should not have any problem with this, especially since this has nothing to do with Cruz personally.
I see it as worth it.
Are you looking in the mirror as you say that? I find nothing hypocritical in my statement about Trump hiring foreigners/illegals and it's "okay" with his supporters......so why am I supposed to be twisted because some guy who is working on Cruz's campaign did the same thing as Trump?
And Trump is what?
E-Verify. Is it available or not? “You’re Fired!”
Umm, work both ways.
Trump was blasted here and in the debates for hiring a union who hired illegals.
Were those Cruzbots grasping at straws?
By the way, candidates and their supporters deserve a little respect even if you happen to disagree with them, not childish little "bot" labels.
Maybe you do but it serves no purpose other than to start flame wars.
This is bovine scat.
I made the point about people (other than you, of course) GOING ETHNIC when times get difficult. Looks like Cruz has the SAME ISSUE.
It’s more than just a shrug.
The boogers keep piling up, on cRuz.
“Nehring himself had directly hired the illegal immigrant to serve as chief executive of the Republican Party and to run party operations, including the handling of confidential information. “
Not like your typical gardener or something.
In some states just about everybody who owns a house with a roof replaced in the last 10 years have hired illegal aliens.
Without clicking through to the blog, can someone tell me why an ‘immigrant’ needs an H1-B visa? The H1-B is a non immigrant visa.
