Congressional Hispanic Caucus: Cruz’s Actions ‘Absolutely Unconscionable’

A member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus called Sen. Ted Cruz’s stance on the migration crisis “absolutely unconscionable” at a press conference Friday.
Florida Rep. Joe Garcia had been asked what he made of the Republican House leadership “trying to accommodate and reassure some of their more conservative members, like Steve King and Michele Bachmann, and also take into account the concerns of some senators like Ted Cruz and Jeff Sessions.”
“As a Cuban American who realizes that I have special immigratory rights,” he said, “I am appalled that Senator Cruz, who not only received it from this from this country, but his native Canada–those special migratory rights–leads the charge to strip away people’s rights. It is absolutely unconscionable.” (RELATED: White House Says No Progress On Immigration Until Spending Bill Passes)

Obama Said to Assure Hispanic Caucus on Deportations
By Alexis Simendinger, Jul. 17, 2014, Realclearpolitics.com
President Obama reassured members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Wednesday that he will flex his executive muscle later this year to be "as great and big and bold as he can be" to reduce deportations of undocumented immigrant families who have lived and worked in the United States for years, one Democratic lawmaker said at the conclusion of the meeting.
Obama tasked White House Counsel W. Neil Eggleston and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to meet this week with caucus members to continue examining powers the president can use to keep undocumented families together, Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois told reporters.
Meanwhile, members of the caucus are willing to give the administration expedited authority to deport a surge of unaccompanied children seeking asylum in the United States, as long as any statutory changes preserve judicial due process on a case-by-case basis, Gutierrez told RCP.
Obama has asked Congress to approve $3.7 billion in emergency funding to address the immigration influx at the southwestern border, primarily from Central American countries, and he wants DHS to gain expedited authority to return most of the asylum-seekers to their home countries more quickly. The president also conceded recently that House Republicans will not vote on comprehensive immigration reform legislation this year, and he told his advisers to send him executive options by the end of the summer that might make some strides, even without Congress.
The border crisis and the death of immigration reform collided this summer, presenting the president with dual challenges: send border-crossers back home, and keep millions of undocumented immigrant families intact.
