Senator Cruz Idea Comes Under Fire

Senator Ted Cruz is calling for the creation of immigration ports of entry in New England.

The Texas Republican says people trying to enter the country through the southern border in Texas should be redirected to the New England ports for processing.

Cruz calls for immigration ports of entry in 12 locations, including Cambridge, Massachusetts, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket as well as Greenwich, Connecticut.

Cruz says he chose these locations so rich Democrats can see a daily flood of immigrants like in Texas.

The Governors of Massachusetts and Connecticut have yet to respond. But Governor Dan McKee says he has "no polite comment' about the idea at this time.
