HE SAID THIS “The politics of immigration would be very different if those coming over the Rio Grande were lawyers or journalists reducing wages in the media. Then we would see stories about the economic calamity that illegal aliens are causing. Those of us who believe that people should come to this country legally & we should enforce the law, are TIRED of being told we r anti-immigrant & that is OFFENSIVE. Cruz said he is the son of a legal immigrant who came legally from Cuba to pursue the American dream. There is no reason we can't embrace legal immigration & the rule of law. Furthermore Cruz challenged people to try going to another country China, Japan, or even Mexico & see what they do. Every sovereign nation secures its borders. How is it compassionate to not enforce our immigration laws & drive down wages of hard working Americans. That is abandoning the American worker!”
