Broome County’s Republican Chair is one of thirty elected officials and party leaders in New York State to declare their support for GOP presidential contender Marco Rubio. The Texan’s dissembling on immigration has provided tasty fodder for the conservative commentariat.

Brian Burnham, assistant manager at Maya Cinemas, said the theater has been selling tickets for about two months. And while it wasn’t too busy this afternoon, Chatterly says tonights shows are already sold out.
Also Monday, some conservative Hispanics began criticizing Cruz, who has pushed for new limits on immigration – including the repeal of the 14th Amendment guarantee that anyone born in the United States is granted citizenship.

“Without question both Rubio and Cruz have been for amnesty, so it’s kind of a silly debate”, the Kentucky senator said.
Obama presses Turkey’s president to lower tensions with Iraq
On Dec. 4, Turkey reinforced the force protection component of its units in the camp due to increasing threats to their security. Their conversation came after Turkish troops were wounded when a training base in northern Iraq was hit by Daesh on Wednesday.
The bill, in addition to border security measures, would have created a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants in the USA if they met certain criteria and paid a tax penalty.
The survey found that 4 in 10 conservative Republicans and 3 in 10 tea party Republicans favor a path to citizenship. He admits his position may be at odds with a majority of the GOP. “Ted, you support legalizing people who are in this country illegally. That’s why I fought so hard to defeat President Obama and the Republican establishment’s Gang of 8 amnesty plan”, Cruz said in the direct-to-camera spot. But it is, and demonstrably so, as many reporters and commentators, including several who are otherwise sympathetic to Cruz, quickly made crystal clear.
Looking to toughen his contrast with Rubio, Cruz this week ruled out legalization unequivocally, a position he has been resistant to take for much of the campaign.
Together, the shifts allow Cruz to simultaneously avoid ceding any ground to Trump while also more distinctly articulating the difference between the man Cruz supporters see as his eventual final rival, Rubio. His campaign features a quote from conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh extolling Cruz’s work opposing the Gang of Eight bill on its website.
Cruz now tries to deny his own words. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) can be trusted Friday morning, saying the immigration hard-liner is dishonestly portraying his role in the 2013 Senate battle over illegal immigration. “I don’t want immigration reform to fail”. “The amendment that Cruz put forward at the time – no one understood it to be a poison pill, it was not advocated or put forward as a poison pill, it was an advocacy for legalization and normalization”. “I believe if this amendment were to pass, the chances of this bill passing into law would increase dramatically”. “He’s the one that, for example, supports doubling the number of green cards”. Instead, he told the Senate in June 2013, his amendment would set up a process so that “those who are here illegally would be eligible for what is called RPI (Registered Provisional Immigrant) status, a legal status, and, indeed, in time would be eligible for legal permanent residency”.

Cruz will not now say what he would do with the 11 million.
“They are a huge threat to the Latino left”, said Daniel Garza, executive director of the LIBRE Initiative, a group that aims to build conservative support among Hispanics. Numerous ads equate the two candidates to GOP front-runner Donald Trump, whose sharp rhetoric on immigration has until now drawn most of the attention of Hispanic activists. And since Cruz is willing to so brazenly deceive on this issue, consider whether you can trust him on anything else.

But the biggest dispute between Cruz and Rubio is over the two-year-old immigration bill that would have given undocumented immigrants a path to gaining USA citizenship.
