“The United States issued a warning on Wednesday to migrants thinking of crossing the border, saying they won\u2019t qualify for any potential immigration reform that might be enacted in the U.S.,” the AP reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n “The U.S. Senate has passed a bill that would provide a path to citizenship for migrants, but it covers only people who illegally entered the United States before Dec. 30, 2011. Republican leaders in the House rejected the Senate bill and are still mulling their own measures, which could be even less generous.”<\/p>\n “Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) predicted Thursday that House Republicans pushing for passage of any amnesty package in 2014 will ensure Democrats and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid maintain control of the Senate. Not only that, but Cruz argued that all House Republican engaged in passage of any amnesty should put a \u201cHarry Reid for Majority Leader\u201d bumper sticker on their cars,” Breitbart News<\/a> says.<\/p>\n “‘I think we’ve got an incredible opportunity to retake the Senate in 2014, to retire Harry Reid as Majority Leader, and the number one thing Republicans could do to mess that up is to refuse to stand for principle,’ Cruz said on Texas-based Michael Berry\u2019s radio program.”<\/p>\n “A federal judge in Texas is accusing the Department of Homeland Security of hand-delivering children smuggled into the United States to their illegal immigrant parents,” Fox News<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n “U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen revealed the practice in a blistering court order filed late last week. He said the ‘dangerous’ practice is effectively aiding human traffickers and particularly the drug cartels, which run many of these operations. ‘These actions are both dangerous and unconscionable,’ he wrote.”<\/p>\n “As Democrats in the filibuster-free U.S. Senate fill key administration vacancies, U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley assailed a Department of Homeland Security nominee for playing a key role in aiding Terry McAuliffe\u2019s electric-car company raise funds through a visa-investor program,” Watchdog.org<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n “‘Whistleblowers have provided my office with very troubling evidence. Much of the evidence involves the EB-5 regional center program, which (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Alejandro) Mayorkas is responsible for managing,’ charged Grassley, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, which oversees immigration issues.”<\/p>\n “‘The evidence appears to support allegations that Mr. Mayorkas and his leadership team at Citizenship and Immigration Services are susceptible to political pressure and favoritism,’ the Iowa Republican said.”<\/p>\n “If your first experience with American citizenship involves the Ruling Class waving off laws that apply to others \u2013 the poor saps still standing in line \u2013 because the illegal population is politically useful, what opinion will you form toward the rule of law? What else will you decide you\u2019re \u201centitled\u201d to, particularly after hearing the sales pitch from political operators who think you\u2019re entitled to quite a lot?” says John Hayward at RedState.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n “The entitlement mindset is hardly unique to illegal immigrants, of course. It\u2019s everywhere, nourished well into the ranks of what we identify as the \u201cmiddle class.\u201d People ignore poorly defined, poorly enforced laws because they feel entitled to, or because they think there\u2019s no real \u201cvictim\u201d to be concerned with.”<\/p>\n Ted Cruz: Passing Amnesty Guarantees GOP Won’t Win Senate<\/h3>\n
