Ted Cruz, Chinese Communist Party Agree: Keep Hongkongers Trapped in China Reason.com

The bill Cruz blocked, the Hong Kong People’s Freedom and Choice Act of 2020, would grant political asylum to any resident of Hong Kong who arrives in the United States, allowing them to remain in the country legally after the expiration of any other visa. The United States already extends that special status to refugees from 10 other countries, and the bill would have merely added Hong Kong to the list.

In remarks delivered on the Senate floor Friday, Cruz outlined two objections to the bill. Both are misleading, at best.
