Anyone else find it funny that the biggest critic of Obama's Immigration policy is (wait for it)

an immigrant himself?

Rafael Edward Cruz who was born in Alberta, Canada to a Cuban father who fought for Castro and a mother from Delaware, did not even move to America until he was 4 years old, is the biggest critic of Obama's Immigration announcement tonight. Later this year I fully expect him to announce he's running for the office of President, although as his birth certificate would show, HE WAS BORN OUTSIDE OF THE U.S.A.

Now there's your black fly in your chardonnay.

My inlaws were telling me about the time they stopped in for donuts and such and a Hortons. I was pissed because they didn't get me a tshirt.

I did not mean to insult your people by associating Cruz with your lovely country.

They are a donut/coffee shop, but the vast majority of folks go there for the coffee. (like myself before a night shift!)

Extreme right-wingers don't fare well here. No wonder he and his nutjob father left.

By the way, pretty soon Timmy's will be selling maple fudge for the holiday season. I hope you live near the border!

Where we get free coffee and fountain pop whenever we want it. (Most restaurants and such in my hometown use this Mother Parker's brand...awful stuff.)

There's a Tim Horton's a couple minute's walk away from the place, and given the choice I'll pay for Timmy's every time.

The only con seems to be it makes you pee a lot...

Use that ladder to climb up and make something of yourself. Then pull the ladder up behind you so nobody else gets that advantage that you just enjoyed.

FUCKING HIDEOUS DISGRACE. The both of them. Selfish pricks. And they sure do like to congratulate themselves on their "Christianity."

He says he is the Chosen One that will lead America to the land of badass kickery and glory up high in the majestic purple mountains that God himself ordained Ted Cruz to rule over (on the back of a griffin) like the benevolent dictator he always woke up wet dreaming about as a younger Ted Cruz.

Therefore, moving to the United States at 4 years old did not make him an immigrant, although his dad was an immigrant.
