Thus beckoning more invaders who will never be sent back. Cruz and Beck are damned fools for doing this.
On the other hand, Ted Cruz used the opportunity to not only swipe Obama, and his allies, but to reinforce the notion of a secure America. Catherine Frazier, Cruz’s spokeswoman, had this to say:
“…from day one, Sen. Cruz has been leading the charge to stop President Obama’s lawlessness, which is the direct cause of this humanitarian crisis…these young children are very real victims of the President’s promise of amnesty—because of it, they have been subjected to horrific physical and sexual abuse from international drug cartels smuggling them into the country…Private charities and churches are stepping up to provide food, medicine, and toys for these young children, which is a compassionate response that embodies American values…But the most compassionate response—which Senator Cruz is leading the fight to accomplish—is to end the President’s amnesty and to humanely and expeditiously reunite these children with their families back home.”
Even if we began deportation hearings today, which we are not going to do, and secured the border right now, which we are not going to do, there is no way, by law and by simple logistics, that all of these illegals will be out of here by tomorrow.
We should do those things, but they still leave us with a lot of people in our care for some period of time, some of whom are children.
Gov. Palin is right that we don’t want the government caring for them — but someone has to, and if we don’t want our tax dollars going for this, that means churches and private charities have to do the job for whatever time these children are here. And they can do it more efficiently, too.
So if you don’t want them on the public rolls, then you ought to support Beck and others in their private activities to take care of the kids while they’re here — while working to support all measures to get them home ASAP and stem the flow of new people into our country illegally.
Cruz is making a mistake by aligning himself with Beck.
