Ted Cruz Drafting Border Crisis Bill

I’m hearing from Senate sources that Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) is writing an alternative to the border crisis bill proposed by Senator John Cornyn (R., Texas) and Representative Henry Cuellar (D., Texas). A “central feature” of Cruz’s bill will be a reversal of President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, according to one Senate source.

Republicans in both chambers agree that the surge of children from Central America was caused by Obama’s 2012 announcement of DACA, a policy under which the federal government does not deport people who would have qualified for the DREAM Act, a bill that never passed Congress.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "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 "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "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

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

Ted Cruz is brilliant.

This is good news.

Now is also the time to end once and for all the horrifying “Anchor-Baby” interpretation of the 14th Amendment. There just might be enough Americans paying attention to fix this if we act quickly.

[Logical me]

What is the use. Cruz might as well save the time and do like King Obama, take a vacation. America is lost and the communists democrats have destroyed much of this land. It will never get on the Senate floor since the communists controlled Senate is not finished destroying our Constitution.

Impeach King Obama, Holder, and put Lerner in jail.

I just had someone raising money for John Cornyn call me on the phone. After our conversation I’m 100% positive they won’t be calling back.

Mark Levin said a Honduras illegal alien was just arrested after killing his girlfriend in cold-blood. He was captured by the Border Patrol but was let go back on June 25th with an order to show up for a deportation hearing. Mark quoted from Fox but I can't find the story anywhere.

Is this fricking true???
