Sept 8, 2013: State Sen Cruz (Ariz) : Not a path to citizenship says Cruz on immigration reform (Anonymous Sender)

Cruz: Immigration reform shouldnâ t include path to citizenship
  •   "I do not support a path to citizenship for those who are here illegally because, first of all, I think its profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who followed the rules, who waited in line and came here using our legal immigration system" Cruz said, speaking at the Anzalduas International Bridge.


  • I believe the Obama White House knows that, and unfortunately their focus has been on trying to gain partisan advantage in 2014 â or 2016 â in the elections, rather than on solving the problems.â Tuesday marked Cruzâ s first official Valley visit since taking office eight months ago.


  • The IRS is producing a whole lot of weeping.â About 280 people attended the sold-out luncheon------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Along border, preparing to live with the real-world consequences of immigration debate
    • One former congressman who represented the people here used to say that he had to cross three climates and two time zones to get from one end to the other.


    • The district has about 800 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border, the longest stretch in any House district, making it the place where immigration reform would be most deeply felt.


    • They are not encouraged by what they’re hearing, particularly about securing the border.

    • Immigration Bill Knot: 'Special' Citizenship Path
      • As Congress wrestles with immigration legislation, a central question is whether the 11 million immigrants already in the United States illegally should get a path to citizenship.


      • It's far from clear, however, what a path to citizenship that's not a special path to citizenship might look like, or how many people it might help.


      • The phrase means different things to different people, and a large number of House Republicans oppose any approach that results in citizenship for people now are in the country illegally.

      • ICE Union head: Investigate admin’s ICE policies
        • “[The problem] is not our immigration system, it’s our government, and it’s the ability of a president of the United States to ignore the laws enacted by Congress.” “And it doesn’t matter what type of legislation we pass, until we address that problem, we will never have an immigration system that works,” he added.


        • “There is no more of a clear cut case in our country of the president overstepping his authority, ignoring the law, ignoring the Constitution, than the president’s ordering of ICE agents not to enforce U.S. immigration law,” he said
