Ted Cruz is a man who,
more than just about anyone in his party,
should understand that Hispanic immigrants are in no way guaranteed votes for the Democratic Party.
(His father was born in Cuba.)
But he not only elevated the false idea that there was an intentional plan to transition immigrants into Democratic voters
but that the party did so despite the putative danger posed to children.
Cruz claimed not only that Democrats were encouraging immigration to gain power,
but that they were callously sacrificing children to do so.
