Senator Ted Cruz warned the Trump administration not to include a road to citizenship for DACA recipients, after Trump implied one was coming in a new executive order on immigration he plans to sign over the next few weeks.
There is ZERO constitutional authority for a President to create a road to citizenship by executive fiat, Cruz tweeted. It was unconstitutional when Obama issued executive amnesty, and it would be a HUGE mistake if Trump tries to illegally expand amnesty.
Cruzs reaction came after Trump revealed in an interview with Telemundo that he would give DACA recipients a road to citizenship through an executive order.
Were working out the legal complexities right now, but Im going to be signing a major immigration bill as an executive order, which . . . because of the DACA decision, has given me the power to do that, Trump said. He then seemed to contradict himself, saying that we put it in, and were probably going to then be taking it out, in an apparent reference to DACA.

See, that way, I can get the stupid stenographers in the media to help me fool Hispanics, and you can get angry to fire up the KKK.
Stop the fucking gaslighting. We're fucking sick of it.
