The most common critique of our 2016 Presidential Hopefuls comparison grid this week has been of our amnesty rating for Ted Cruz. The Texas Senator has a mixed history on the issue, but we've given Cruz our second best rating of "Very Good". Here's how we arrived at that rating.
The Department of Justice announced it will not ask the Supreme Court to negate a district court judge’s injunction on implementation of President Obama’s executive amnesties. The Administration will instead proceed with an appeal before the 5th Circuit Court scheduled for July 10.
The 5th Circuit of the Federal Court of Appeals rejected an emergency request by the Obama administration to lift an injunction on President Obama's plan to grant amnesty and work permits to millions of illegal aliens.

NumbersUSA celebrated 5 years at Earth Day Texas this year. For the first time, the expo was three days long and along with it came bigger and better crowds. Our booth focused on Vanishing Open Spaces in Texas and the entire nation. We educated visitors on projected crop land loss, population growth and how Washington’s immigration policies impact both. The population of Texas grew by 3,500 people during the 3 day festival, the same amount of gum balls in our booth’s jumbo gum ball machine.
