Sen. Ted Cruz blasts Gang of Eight's shamnesty bill

Unlike many in the GOP, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is willing to speak bluntly and honestly about the Gang of Eight’s amnesty proposal.

Of course, he is absolutely right. It is 1986 all over again. And if the Gang of Eight bill passes, the low-wage-worker lobby will be pushing another amnesty proposal down our throats 20-25 years from now.

Twitter users welcomed Cruz’s candid assessment:

@tedcruz it's a damn shame DC either doesn't want to or refuses to stop making the same mistakes

It’s not surprising that we are beginning to see tweets like these:

Is Ted Cruz the only conservative left on Capitol Hill? If so can we please move him to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in 2016?#FollowMeTedCruz

Keep telling it like it is, Sen. Cruz.
