Texas Republican Says Ted Cruz Not Speaking for State on Immigration
Slate ^ | November 19, 2014 | Betsy Woodruff

Posted on 11/19/2014 6:13:19 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Sen. Ted Cruz’s piece in Politico Magazine on Wednesday has drawn a lot of attention, not all of it kind.

In the piece, the Texas Senator charges that President Obama’s impending executive action on immigration “is lawless” and that if he makes the move, “he will be acting as a monarch.” Since his election in 2012, Cruz has vocally opposed comprehensive immigration reform.

A fellow Republican in the Texas congressional delegation said that Cruz’s energetic opposition to comprehensive immigration reform doesn’t adequately represent his constituents.

“I don’t think it’s reflective of Texas as a whole,” said Rep. Gene Green, chuckling. “I think it’s reflective of the Republican primary.”(continued)

Green should keep disagreements behind closed doors. Moron.

Is Green a RINO or a Democrat.

I guess the article says this rat speaks to GOPE in private and they support amnesty.

Finding a rino to denounce conservatives is as difficult as dragging a microphone through the capital.

The only open borders RINOs I can think of are Blake Farenthold, Joe Barton, Ted Poe and a few others. Never heard of Green.

Rep. Gene Green is a rat.

I'm ok with getting rid of liberal republicans in Texas. Even incumbents like Cornyn.

It's hard to take someone named "Gene Green" seriously.

Especially sine Abbott announced tonight that Texas is suing the golfer immediately after he announces his Putsch.

You’re right! Slate lying again!

Raymond Eugene “Gene” Green is the U.S. Representative for Texas’s 29th congressional district, serving since 1993. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

Wondering how long it took them to dig up a RINO that would say what they wanted to hear from an alleged Republican?

Cornyn is for amnesty, his show votes for the rubes back home should be ignored.

If he’s from Houston he probably shares a tent with Sheryl Jackson Brown
