Cruz seeks ban on illegal immigrants from citizenship

Take note, Rubio...you can be Latino, you can come from immigrant parents, and you can remain a consistent conservative, instead of a convenient one...
USNews: Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a newly elected Republican with a penchant for making headlines, filed an amendment that would bar undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States from ever earning citizenship.

Cruz also filed amendments that he says would "strengthen border security measures; reform the high-skilled temporary worker program; modernize, streamline and expand legal immigration; and prohibit federal, state or local entitlement benefits for those here illegally."

"The amendments filed today to strengthen border security and reform our legal immigration system will not only bring meaningful, effective improvements to our immigration system, but also have a chance of becoming law," said Cruz in a press release. "America is a nation of immigrants, built by immigrants and we need to honor that heritage by fixing our broken immigration system, while upholding the rule of law and championing legal immigration."
Cruz has consistently held this opinion, as this CBSNews report from a few weeks back demonstrates...



A bit more differently or a bit more shakable, Charlie? In Cruz's case, he's quite a bit more SOLID!
