    Cruz slams amnesty to illegals


    Tuesday, March 17, 2015

    U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from 
Texas, spoke with Boston Herald Radio’s Holly 
Robichaud yesterday about his possible 
presidential run:

    Q: Great job up in New Hampshire. Are they loving you out there?

    A: I’ll tell you that the reception we received in New Hampshire has really been breathtaking. We’ve had standing-room-only crowds. ... It has been really encouraging. There’s a lot of enthusiasm. People are hungry for a leader who is willing to tell the truth and stand up and do what he said he would do.

    Q: Here in Massachusetts there’s a lot of us worried about the illegal immigration problem, and now we got the president’s 
amnesty to 5 million illegal immigrants to start off with. Has this ship sailed or could a President Cruz do something about 
this?

    A: The president’s executive amnesty — it is wrong. It is unfair to millions of legal immigrants who followed the rules. And it’s patently unconstitutional. ... And indeed, someone who styles himself a constitutional scholar 22 times publicly made the point that it exceeds the president’s authority to do that, and that person of course is Barack Obama, who 22 times previously said he had no authority to grant amnesty. In fact, in one of the times he explained, ‘I am not an emperor.’ Well, apparently after this last election after Democrats got walloped he discovered he was an emperor, and so he 
illegally and unconstitutionally granted amnesty to 4.5 million people.

    I along with millions of people across this country was heartbroken when Republican leadership just a couple of weeks ago capitulated entirely on amnesty. ... But there is a silver lining ... another branch of the government is doing its job, and that is Article 3, the federal judiciary. A federal court in the state of Texas has issued an injunction preventing President Obama’s executive amnesty from going into 
effect.

    Q: I understand you’ve also been looking to see if the Obama administration has been breaking that court order?

    A: That is exactly right ... we will hold additional hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee to ascertain the degree to which the Obama administration is complying with that order. They need to obey the injunction from the federal court. They say that they are, but at the same time the federal court is having hearings on whether they have gone ahead and processed a number of amnesty applications in direct defiance of what they told the federal court what they would do.

    I like his position on amnesty but absolutely detest where he stands on increasing worker visas!

    Cruz will change his mind on the visas when he takes the time to understand that companies crying there is a shortage are just bad actors and good liars. The Senate Judiciary Committee had a great hearing today on the H1B visa program and Newmexican posted the live video for us to watch. I took the time to watch most of it and it was a wonderful hearing with exceptional witnesses testifying about the truth that there is no shortage, there is actually a surplus, and they had the studies and the research and some of these professors and the union guy, Trumka, were surprisingly knowledgeable and very prepared. They did a great job. Cruz is on that committee so if he wasn't there, and he may have been but spoke before I tuned in, he'll get the report and know what transpired, so hopefully he'll realize that he's chasing a Rainbow for a bunch of liars and needs to let that go.

    I hope you're right because I read another article where he was talking about huge increases!

    I hope I'm right as well, and he will if he actually intends to run for President on a Republican ballot with the hope of winning. Americans especially Republicans are fed up with all of it, illegal immigration as well as this massive uncalled for legal immigration, thus both will be the Talk of the Town on the Republican side in 2016, and in my opinion, the Number One Issue of the election season.
