Mr. Cruz mr. President , the American People have demanded for years that the federal government faithfully enforce our nations immigration laws. Americans are tired of seeing their laws flouted and their communities plagued by the horrible crime that typically accompanies illegal immigration. But for too long the pleas of the American People on this issue have gone unheeded here in washington. You see, when it comes to the problem of illegal immigration, the Political Class and the business class, our nations elites, are of one mind.

Not wanting to be swindled, the American People wisely rejected this deal which the washington class calls quote comprehensive Immigration Reform. Of course the elites dont like this one bit. So instead theyve taken matters into their own

I dont know, initially what you asked for, but i know they tried to be responsive. 90 to 95 of them were on state. Gov, i understand that the committee broadened the scope of their request and in response, the tastate department has been trying to provide what you have requested and in the meantime, making all of the emails public. In the first request, you think theres only eight emails responsive to the request . I believe your first request was for benghazi and i believe the state department did a search and you expanded it to libya and weapons and a few other terms and i believe they conducted a diligent our jurisdiction is the same as it was. It has not grown. You say you turned over everything. I dont get a chance to watch you a lot on television, but when i see you interviewed, you make a point of saying i turned over everyt
Program. You can see this or any of our programs in their entirety at our website cspan. Org. Earlier today Vice President joe biden announcing his decision not to seek the democratic nomination for president. Heres a quick look. As my family and i have worked through the grieving process, ive said all along what ive said time and again to others, that it may very well be that that process by the time we get through it closes the window on mounting a Realistic Campaign for president. That it might close. Ive concluded it has closed. I know from previous experience that theres no timetable for this process. The process doesnt respect or much care about things like filing deadlines or debates and primaries and caucuses. But i also know that i could do this if i could do this if the family wasnt ready. The good news is the familys reached that point. But as ive said many times, my family has suffered loss, and i hope there would come a time and ive said this to many other families that so

So, we remain committed to working not just with chicago but all of our cities who are experiencing these troubling issues. So, if you were to suffer something as egregious as a demotion to a member of congress from your high position as attorney general, what do you think . What would you do . Youre back in ch
