he's become what some of my race would call a house "N" word.

told you he was spittin' BS, he's a republican of a race that they don't have a taste for, he's only there as a buffer to try in their minds to look like they embrace Hispanics, if he starts to falter he'll be like those they are trying to schmooze outstanding, outstanding in a field waiting for an invitation to come cook or raise their kids or pick their fruit, it is as it has always been them and us. recognize

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a newly elected Republican with a penchant for making headlines, filed anamendment that would bar undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States from ever earning citizenship.

There are an estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally, and a bipartisan immigration reform measure would create a pathway to citizenship over the course of 13 years by requiring those people to pay penalties and back taxes, as well as learn English. 

Conservatives opposed to reform decry the path as amnesty, but Democrats say they will not support reform that does not cope with the immigrants already living in the U.S.

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."

you could tell by his inference when he talked about it hard line and punitive, ain't no love in the city.

Cruz isn't the only one throwing potential poison pills into the mix. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy, D-Vt., filed a measure that would grant immigration rights to same-sex couples. If adopted, that amendment would erode Republican support for the carefully crafted compromise. And while it's highly unlikely the Democratically-controlled committee would adopt Cruz's controversial amendments, Leahy's offering very well could be included.

at least Leahy is thinking of all the people with all of the rights, not trying to play word games in a 13 year race for the border legally not morally.
