Cruz, Sessions sound alarm on Obama’s plan to expand amnesty program | TheBlaze.com
Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) vowed Thursday afternoon to fight President Barack Obama’s reported plans to expand amnesty for up to six million more illegal residents by the end of the summer.
The two senators have been among the most vocal Republican opponents of Obama’s deferred deportation policy, which they say has prompted a flood of unaccompanied minors to try crossing into the United States.
Cruz said he was back at the Texas border last weekend, when he asked border officials why the roughly 60,000 children have tried to cross.
“Every single one of the border patrol agents gave the exact same answer,” Cruz said. “They said they’re coming because they believe they will get amnesty.”
Cruz also slammed Obama for avoiding the border, and instead continuing his fundraising tour across the country. He noted that Obama is in California now, and was hosted by the producer of the TV show Scandal.
