They may both be conservative Republican lawyers, but U. S. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz of Texas had very different responses to Thursday’s Supreme Court decision supporting Dreamers.
Cornyn focused on the future status of young people he called “innocent,” including more than 100,000 in Texas who were brought to the U. S. illegally as children.
Cruz focused on John Roberts, the Supreme Court chief justice who wrote the “disgraceful” opinion that upheld the Obama administration program known as DACA, which offers deportation protection to young immigrants known as Dreamers.
Speaking on the Senate floor, Cornyn, who is running for re-election in November, praised Dreamers who have been able to work and study under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that the Trump Administration tried to terminate.
