Sen. Ted Cruz: Democrats 'Reckless and Irresponsible' on DHS Funding

During a time of growing peril at home and abroad, it's "reckless and irresponsible" for Democrats to filibuster funding for the Department of Homeland Security, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz told Newsmax TV.

"We need to vote to fund the Department of Homeland Security. At a time of growing risk at home and abroad, it is reckless and irresponsible for Democrats to be filibustering funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

"We need to honor the commitments we made to stop the president's illegal and unconstitutional amnesty," Cruz told "America's Forum" host John Bachman on Monday.
The outspoken Republican said that the federal district court's ruling last week that put a hold on President Barack Obama's executive orders on immigration should force Democrats to capitulate and vote on the Republican bill that they have blocked three times in the Senate so far.

Republicans plan to introduce the bill for a fourth time this week.

Cruz said the court ruling is a game changer.

"It puts Democrats in a very difficult position. If you're a Democrat, how exactly do you tell your constituents you are blocking any funding for the Department of Homeland Security in order to defend an amnesty program that the federal courts have now declared to be illegal?

"That really is an extreme and untenable position. It seems to me we ought to call on the Democrats to stop being partisans," he said.

Cruz said he believes Obama is blustering when he says that a court of appeal will uphold his executive orders on immigration.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

What they dont realize is the beast they are creating will consume them. White liberals will be among the casualties as the latino take over Government at the federal level and in the blue states.

Democrats are not reckless or irresponsible....they are treasonous. They refuse to follow American laws and are allowing an invasion of foreigners so they can control America not protect Americans especially their own poor voters.

All they want with these illegals is control....and nobody is fighting for the American people. They are throwing us under the bus for dems power....sick.
