Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), the last Republican to speak on the floor before today’s shameful vote to advance the ’Gang of 8′ amnesty bill, gave a brief but powerful presentation showing up the open-borders Senators as supporting bill that is just like ObamaCare, and does nothing to secure the border.
Cruz comparing the rushed, unread amnesty bill being rushed through only 72 hours after being introduced, without a single hearing on it to the health care bill – a clear blast at the 15 turncoat Republicans who have all endlessly denounced the way the Nancy Pelosi insisted her colleagues has to “pass (ObamaCare) so you can find out what’s in it“.

Sessions Issues Statement On Tonight’s Procedural Vote To Advance 1,200-Page Substitute Immigration Bill
“The Gang of Eight and their allies revealed
their true tactics tonight. They shut down debate and blocked amendments
to a 1,200-page immigration bill that no one has read… This legislation
is a crushing blow to the working people of this country, a surrender
to illegality, and a capitulation to special interests over the
interests of the citizens we pledged to represent.”
WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), a senior member of
the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement after
tonight’s vote:
“The sponsors of the Corker-Hoeven substitute fell short of the
votes they expected tonight to advance what they had erroneously billed
to other Senators as a strong border security amendment. Failure to
capture the votes they anticipated for this motion demonstrates the
building unease this 1,200-page legislative monstrosity has created. I
expect that unease will increase as Senators learn more about what’s
really inside this proposal.
The Gang of Eight and their allies revealed their true tactics
tonight. They shut down debate and blocked amendments to a 1,200-page
immigration bill that no one has read. It was anything but the open and
fair process that they had promised.
What we know for absolute certain is that this bill guarantees
three things: instantaneous amnesty, permanent lawlessness, and a
massive expansion in legal immigration that will reduce wages for
working Americans. This legislation is a crushing blow to the working
people of this country, a surrender to illegality, and a capitulation to
special interests over the interests of the citizens we pledged to
represent.”
