Ted Cruz: Here's your teddy bear, kid. Now get out.

Compassionate Conservative Ted Cruz Hands Out Teddy Bears At The Border, Then Moves On To Deporting Dreamers - See more at: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/compassionate-conservative-ted-cruz-hands-out-teddy-bears-border-then-moves-deporting-dreame#sthash.sOWysVof.L0Keb5pJ.dpuf

Sen. Ted Cruz announced last week that his new “top priority” in Washington is to end President Obama’s deferred action program for DREAMers and start deporting undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.

But to show that he is approaching his new top priority in a compassionate way, Cruz made a stop at the border this weekend to help Glenn Beck hand out his truckload of teddy bears and soccer balls to children who have come to the southern border fleeing violence in Central America.


"Here's your teddy bear, kid. Now get out."

“In my view, it is altogether appropriate that private charities and private churches are showing Christian love, are caring for these children,” he said. “But at the same time we need to eliminate the promise of amnesty.”
