Cruz, the hard-line
Texas Republican, has been working behind the scenes to stir up conservative
opposition to a House GOP plan to approve $659 million to secure the border and
handle the flow of 57,000 migrant youths....
The senator's
handiwork lighted up the telephone lines in the Capitol after an appearance on
a tea party webinar. He further stoked opposition among House Republicans
meeting privately over pizza on the eve of Thursday's vote....
Ultimately, Boehner was pressured into attaching a
Cruz-inspired bill that would halt the administration's Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals program giving 500,000 young immigrants legal status if they
remain in school or join the military.
