At least Texas' Senator is smart enough to know that this country needs a NATIONAL conversation on how WE are supporting 63+ percent of all NON-AMERICANS in this country, through benefits that should be reserved for Americans, and he is willing to put his name on a bill to FORCE that conversation.

And Texas' Senator is smart enough to know that if Americans start to digest the FACTS, as presented in this bill........they are going to view the present 10,000 caravan foreigners, in a different light, instead of sucking up the Liberal media's propaganda.

Texas' Senator is also smart enough to bet that Americans will be even more upset when they realize that today's 10,000 foreigners could be a million (or millions) of get a piece of the US welfare pie, in 2019, if we don't find a way to stop this.

So for all you non-Texan, Cruz bashers, who don't live in OK, SD, or LA..... I am patiently waiting to hear what YOUR illustrious state's Senator(s) said, or did, for America, this week about:

1 stopping the illegal alien invasion..............

2 getting foreigners off benefits meant for American citizens..........

3 how to fund THE WALL?

If the answer's zip, zilch, nada.....then why aren't you focused on cleaning up your own state, instead of crapping on other state's Senators?

And if you ARE from OK, SD, or LA, where's your disdain for Infoe, Rounds and Kennedy, who also sponsored this bill?

This proposal is really elegant, in how it takes money away from the incentives for illegal immigration, to pay for the deterrent. Kind of a twofer.

It is also elegant in how its effects dis-proportionally target the most undesirable of the illegal immigrants - criminals who can’t pass through ports of entry, and the unproductive/unskilled/lazy who become public charges.

Yet another elegant aspect is that the revenues continue in perpetuity, even after the wall costs are paid.

I don’t know, but I hope that this proposal is designed to pass the scoring criteria needed in the budgeting process, where new spending must be “offset” by other savings or revenue increases. If so, it could be an essential element of a coordinated GOP strategy - but maybe that is too much to hope for. In any event, it is a mighty solid proposal, in terms of being an effective measure to address the problem.

President Trump himself was recently promoting a similar argument, proposing that the wall funding could pay for itself in other cost avoidances - in a matter of months, because the costs of illegal immigration are so high.
