Cesar Vargas, director of the DREAM Action Coalition, wrote an op-ed featured in the Houston Chronicle today criticizing Senator John Cornyns effort to doom immigration reform. Vargas warned that Cornyn, who is up for reelection, will face the wrath of Texas Latino voters if he obstructs immigration reform.
In response, Cornyn took to his Twitter account with more colorful language than usual, calling the accusations complete BS.
Cesar Vargas of the DREAM Action Coalition accused Sen. Cornyn of being an obstructionist on immigration reform and suggested that he is trying to derail the bipartisan Senate bill drafted by the so-called Gang of Eight, Cornyn press secretary Drew Brandewie said. The bill is a little over a week old, and Sen. Cornyn has repeatedly praised his colleagues efforts. Last week, Sen. Cornyn laid out areas where he agreed and disagreed with the Gang of 8. He looks forward to the mark up and the continued debate on this important, complex issue.
The coalition Twitter account responded by alerting press and congressional Twitter accounts of the offensive language, including Gang of 8? member Sen. Marco Rubio.
