Cruz Links Amnesty with Islamic Terrorism

Escalating a confrontation with Sen. Marco Rubio over immigration policy, Sen. Ted Cruz introduced proposals outlining his own approach, calling for a halt to increases in legal immigration “so long as American unemployment remains unacceptably high,” the New York Times reports.

Said Cruz: “If you’re supporting amnesty, you’re supporting the Obama-Clinton weakness and appeasement to radical Islamic terrorism.”

“In recent days, Mr. Cruz has reminded voters that Mr. Rubio was one of the ‘Gang of Eight’ senators from both parties who supported the immigration overhaul, which included a path to citizenship but was never enacted.”
