Ted Cruz Slams Trump's 'Road to Citizenship' Claim for Pending DACA Executive Order: 'HUGE Mistake'

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.”

Cruz’s reaction came after Trump revealed in an interview with Telemundo that he would give DACA recipients “a road to citizenship” through an executive order.

“We’re working out the legal complexities right now, but I’m 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 we’re probably going to then be taking it out,” in an apparent reference to DACA.

That's just fine. But giving immigrant kids a path to citizenship is crazy and illegal.

Look at it from that angle because immigrants know Democrats have been fighting for them.

Did Donnie Dipshit call you on the phone and say; "hey, I'm going to say something stupid. Make sure you get outraged about it...you know...madder then when I called your wife a stupid whore and accused your dad of killing JFK"

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.

Cruz has nothing to worry about if he speaks out. Cruz was reelected in
2018.....Trump cannot get him this election, because he isn't running again till 2024...
Trump won't be around in 2024...he will be gone in 5 months..

That is why this asshole has the nerve to speak out...
