I see this as not necessarily because some states have a lot of illegals, that is true.
Unfortunately, from what I know, I believe Ted Cruz is trying to make the best out of a bad situation, illegals are here, sadly, we won’t do an operation wetback as happened under Ike but FDR and Truman too from what I know. So maybe Cruz looks at this and says, okay, let’s give them RESIDENCY... that’s residency, not citizenship. Seems a few others of the pols feel that way. It is a compromise, I’m not sure what to think of that.
It’s sort of the way people want a National Amendment defining Marriage as being between 1 man and 1 woman, I’d be for that but it’s like the horse has already left the stable, seems the best thing now we can hope for is that individual states can still control the matter and hoping the Fed. Govt. doesn’t force same-sex unions as law all over which would be atrocious.
Just my view, sorry for the long post.
I’m reading the posts but this is what I thought Cruz’s position was.
I use to have an article bookmarked, I thought though people don’t like it is what Cruz gave, I repeat, was RESIDENCY, thus NOT CITIZENSHIP. Whether that is acceptable or not...
” sadly, we won’t do an operation wetback as happened under Ike”
Is there a law against it?
Or is it just a matter of the GOP being full of cowards who won’t enforce the law?
