Regarding the first article, if you want me to read propaganda worse than your own, MSNBC on ted Cruz will burn my eyes. You’ll have to do a whole lot better than that.

From the second article, which is two and a half years old, by the way:
“The senators write in the letter that although they understand the urgency and need for immigration reform, they believe the current proposal stalls progress on several issues, such as overhauling the current legal immigration system and delaying the implementation of E-Verify, the electronic employment verification system that is currently only required for companies with federal contracts.”

From the third:

‘“I very much want commonsense immigration reform to pass, but if this bill becomes law as currently written, it will not solve the problem. Instead it will make the problem of illegal immigration worse,” Sen. Cruz said. “We must work together in a bipartisan manner to fix this problem in a way that secures the border, improves legal immigration and respects rule of law so we remain a nation that welcomes and celebrates legal immigrants. I look forward to working with my colleagues on these issues and am confident my proposed amendments will effectively address the current problems with this bill.”

Cruz added that several amendments that would have improved the bill, including three he filed and three filed by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, were rejected. Those proposals include measures that would have increased border security personnel and created metrics to measure border security success, and a proposal to prevent undocumented immigrants from receiving federal, state or local welfare benefits.

Yeah, he’s worked to improve bad legislation and he is against Obama’s executive amnesty. But while he’s making noise about all of that, he is for legalizing those who are already here.

He himself doesn’t advocate giving them citizenship, but that’s what they will get, their numbers will triple through chain migration and we’ll have 60 million new, Leftist Latino voters.
