Congressman Veasey on Sen. Ted Cruz Immigration Reform Amendments

May 8, 2013

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Ted Cruz filed five amendments to the immigration reform legislation currently before the Senate Judiciary Committee. One of the amendments would ensure that the 11 million undocumented immigrants are not given a pathway to citizenship. Congressman Marc Veasey released the following the statement in response to Senator Ted Cruz’s amendments:

“Senator Ted Cruz is clearly on the wrong side of history. Senator Cruz’s amendments introduced today are bad for families and unfair to immigrants that help make America stronger every day. Comprehensive immigration reform should be about keeping families together and creating a fair and effective system that brings people out of the shadows.”
