Tired of not doing your job in Texas?


Also, why is it MY job, in TX, to take care of this problem?

As I said in my previous reply, to this inane post of yours, you can let these innocent, poor children....who were given away BY their parents, to STRANGERS, come to the beautiful campgrounds in YOUR state. So YOU can do YOUR job.

(facepalm)

President Trump already has implemented the solution.

Cruz is simply joining in with the Leftists to attack Trump again.

Not all that different that when he joined them to blame candidate Trump for the Chicago riots.

Lyin Cruz is a practiced backstabber.

Here's a clue, buttbreath: I support the Constitution of the United States of America.

I'm not beholden to ANY politician, I don't do bandwagon politics, and I'm not part of anybody's personality cult.

Why don't you grow up and join me in being an adult? Can you join me in supporting politicians when they're right and opposing them when they're wrong, regardless of personality? Are you man enough to do that?

Grandstanding instead of passing legislation to protect our borders.

RE: Grandstanding instead of passing legislation to protect our borders.

OK. Let’s say you are a Senator, and you have to deal with the Democrats and the RINO’s, what bill would you propose that has a good chance of passing without being called a grandstander?

A Bill that embraces Trump's four pillars.

The first of Trump’s pillars is this : Path to Citizenship for DREAMers. You support this?

This whole issue will be forgotten by the time of the midterms.

The kids can only be detained 20 days by law. To keep the families together, the asylum claim has to be adjudicated inside those 20 days, unless this bill changes that provision.

Releasing the adults to avoid the separation is not an option - that’s the infamous “catch and release”.

Where in Ted Cruz’s proposed bill does it say “Catch and Release”?

Sorry I was unclear. I was pointing out that there is a codicil of the 1997 law that makes it illegal to hold the kids more than 20 days. Under the current law, therefore, either families are separated or the adults get released (what Obozo used to do).

If Cruz’s bill doesn’t address the 20 day limit, then we stay in the same stalemate we now have. I do not see it reasonable that an asylum claim can be adjudicated in 14 days unless it is a slam-dunk case for or against, or if the applications are all either rejected or accepted arbitrarily.

Just figuring out who many of the illegal aliens actually are will take more than 14 days, IMO.

Ted catering to the invasion lobby.

Thanks, Ted, because making life comfortable for law ignoring Mexican citizens is certainly why you were elected to the Senate.

Make America Mexico Again

The motto of the Bush Republicans.

RE: Ted catering to the invasion lobby.

OK, what bill would you propose instead that has a reasonable chance of passing given the Democrats and the RINO wing of the GOP?

Or is it your contention that we not pass any bill at all and just live with the status quo ....

The Cruz bill has this provision:

Providing for expedited processing and review of asylum cases so that — within 14 days — those who meet the legal standards will be granted asylum and those who do not will be immediately returned to their home countries.

A new bill? Why do we need a new bill?

How about enforcing the laws that we already have?

Which is what those of us who have been fighting the illegal alien invasion have asked for since we passed Prop 187 back in 1994. My guess is that your concern with the issue doesn’t exactly go back very far.
