Cruz: Rush to Pass Amnesty Bill Obamacare All Over Again.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took to the Senate floor early Monday evening to argue the U.S. Senate should not be voting on the new immigration bill before members and the public have a chance to read it.
“We’re about to vote to end debate, a debate that never really began on an amendment that is 1,200 pages that was filed on Friday afternoon after many senators had left town, and we are now voting at 5:30 on Monday as many senators are stepping off the airplane,” he explained.
“This is the 1,200 page amendment. We have seen this play before. It is reminiscent of Obamacare, yet another bill that we were told we’ve got to pass it to find out what’s in it,” Cruz said. “And unfortunately it seems there are some Republicans eager to go along with the Democrats in the mad rush to pass this bill.”
Not to mention buying votes with pork.
