Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) is always trying to play both sides, but immigration reform advocates know clearly where he stands. This is what he said earlier this week:
“I’m certainly sympathetic to the plight of these kids who through no fault of their own, find themselves in this predicament, but the kind of games that Majority Leader Reid is playing here seem more designed to play politics than they do actually to try to solve the problem.”
Who is playing political games here? Perhaps it’s the guy who comes up with an excuse every time any vote on a meaningful immigration reform bill comes to the floor. And how will he truly “solve the problem?” Perhaps it’s by stalling. That’s what he and his GOP cronies have been doing on immigration (and any other progressive bill, for that matter). In July, he stated there wouldn’t be enough time to do a good job on the bill. How much time does he need? The DREAM Act has been in the Senate for every congressional session since 2001.
John Cornyn, please stop with the hypocrisy. We can see right through.
