Harry Reid and the Democrats continue to make false claims about Kate’s law, with Reid suggesting on the floor of the Senate that it would tear innocent families apart or something.
Ted Cruz didn’t take kindly to that mischaracterization one bit:
HANNITY – One of the bills most vocal opponents has been Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid. During yesterday’s debate on the Senate floor, Reid falsely characterized the bill as one that would “tear innocent families apart.”
Senator Cruz fired back. Hard.
“It is sad that the Democratic leader chooses to stand with violent criminal illegal aliens instead of the American citizen,” Cruz began. “But even sadder is that he impugns legal immigrants.”
“I am the son of of an immigrant who came legally from Cuba,” Cruz continued. “And for the Democratic leader to cynically suggest that somehow immigrants should be lumped into the same bucket with murderers and rapists demonstrates the cynicism of the modern Democratic party.”
