Sen. [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore] told Fox News’ Sean Hannity Wednesday that he is sick and tired of politicians saying that we need to be “compassionate” when dealing with illegal immigrants.
Additionally, Cruz noted that “there is nothing compassionate” about allowing “people coming here illegally” to steal jobs from American workers.
CRUZ: I have to say, I suspect an awful lot of Republicans were having the same reaction I was as we were listening to the debates, which is that we saw one Republican after another giving an ode to amnesty.
One after the other saying how we needed to be compassionate and we needed to just forgive the 12 million who came here illegally and presumably put them all on a path to citizenship.
I’ve got to say, my reaction, as I was listening to that, I was just getting angrier and angrier.
Look, there is nothing compassionate about a bunch of politicians saying, ‘I’m so compassionate, I’m going to give away your job.’ That’s what they’re saying.
None of them are losing their jobs, but they’re happy to tell working men and women across this country that your job can be taken away by people coming here illegally.
