Breitbart Television ^ | July 14, 2015 | Ian Hanchett

Texas Senator and Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) argued “the Democratic Party supports illegal immigration” on Tuesday’s “On the Record” on the Fox News Channel.

Cruz said that sanctuary cities were a “persistent problem” where “you’ve got, often Democratic, mayors who are elected from the far left and who decline enforce the law. Now, it varies in terms of how brazen it is. It’s not always as brazen as San Francisco is, but it’s a problem when you have cities that are in the control of the Democrats and don’t want to follow the law.” And “they disagree with the law, and so they’re ignoring it.” Before touting legislation to cut off federal funding with sanctuary cities.

Cruz was then asked why the federal government has not passed legislation to force compliance with the law, he responded, “Well, it’s because the Democratic Party supports illegal immigration. … They don’t even call it illegal immigration. They’ve come up with this ‘undocumented’ term because they don’t acknowledge...

RASMUSSEN REPORTS MAY 29, 2015:

MOST DEMOCRATS THINK ILLEGALS SHOULD VOTE

Are voters ready to let illegal immigrants vote? A sizable number, including most Democrats, are.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that one-out-of-three Likely U.S. Voters (35%) now believes that illegal immigrants should be allowed to vote if they can prove they live in this country and pay taxes. Sixty percent (60%) disagree, while five percent (5%) are undecided.

Fifty-three percent (53%) of Democrats think tax-paying illegal immigrants should have the right to vote. Twenty-one percent (21%) of Republicans and 30% of voters not affiliated with either major political party agree. . .

Well, that really cuts straight to the heart of the matter doesn't it? Nothing else needs to be said. I can't imagine what argument democrats could make to refute the statement.

How about a "sanctuary state" that protects fetuses. Dems might claim that's illegal. But as I understand their reasoning, laws can be ignored where 'human rights' are concerned.

The GOP problem is the elites thinks immigration is OK as long as it is legal. We are being flooded with anti-American 3rd Worlders. Even if we stopped all “illegal” immigration, we would still be allowing the destruction of this country.

Here, in California, they already do as there are no restrictions on voter registration. Our former local sheriff stated this on his local talk show last week. With the huge illegal alien population in both Los Angeles and San Francisco it is no wonder California is a one party state. All of them are in barrios and no one questions their registration paperwork or monitors the polling stations.

11 million illegal invaders? there’s more than that just in California.....1/3 of Mexico’s population lives in the US.

The local police blotter announcements are filled with names like Juan Castro Cantu or Roberto Pablo Nunez....all good Amish folk! (For that matter it could be a roll call of our state legislature.)

Just compare the numbers on republicans vs democrat.

https://www.numbersusa.com/content/my/tools/grades

90% of republicans get a C grade or above while probably 98% of democrats get a C grade or worse.

Sure there are some really crappy republicans but an honest look on balance shows the republicans to be considerably better.
My state shows 3 A+ republicans, 2 B+ republicans, 3 C republicans, and 1 D+ republican.
Of the democrats there are 2 C democrat senators and 5 F- democrat congressmen.
