Cruz is being too cute by half on illegal immigration. He’s about where Rubio was until the last six months.
First, he’s for a massive amnesty by wanting to legalize the tens of millions of illegals already here.
Second, he wants to hide behind supposed tougher border enforcement provisions, when we already have all kinds of border and other enforcement provisions that are simply not enforced—no reason the same won’t happen again.
Third, the big push is getting them all legalized. Citizenship will be much easier to get through in subsequent legislation.
Fourth, he hasn’t actually said that he won’t vote for the current legislation as it stands—and he knows the Senate will pass it without his vote anyway.
Fifth, he’s la-la if he thinks we need more immigration, which is what he suggests. We have record levels of it now as it is, with less assimilation than ever before.
I don’t care how much he postures as some sort of principled ‘conservative’. His games on illegal immigration, as with Rubio’s, tell me all I need to know about a couple of overambitious pols climbing the GOP ladder.
Where in the world did you get that?
