Ted Cruz pushes to undo 2012 deportation ban for young immigrants

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON – Blaming a recent surge in young border-crossers on the president, Sen. Ted Cruz waded into the crisis Thursday with a bill to reverse a 2012 order protecting child migrants from deportation.

“The staggering conditions that children are being subjected to are a direct result of the amnesty that President Obama illegally and unilaterally enacted in 2012, which caused the number of unaccompanied minors to skyrocket,” Cruz said. “The only way to stop the border crisis is to stop President Obama’s amnesty.”

Obama ordered the policy — known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA – to shield immigrants brought into the country illegally as children, if they had earned good grades or served in the military.

Some critics blame the current crisis on that policy, saying it encouraged a fresh wave of illegal migration as word spread that young people could stay once they made it across the border — although the 2012 order excluded new arrivals.

2. Teddy Tea Cruz makes up more deception and irresponsible statements.

Deceptive, irresponsible and oppressive behavior seems to indicate a totalitarian instead of a diplomat. Seems to be the mistreatment of the 99% and anyone supporting their democracy, is Senator Cruz's agenda. He has no leadership qualities, in my opinion.

Another act of contemptible act of hypocrisy from Canadian-born Ted Cruz, whose father wasn't even a US citizen when Tedito was born. The ONLY difference between the Calgary Kid and so many DREAMERs is that Tedito was lucky enough to have an American mother.
