We need to secure the border. Any bill this body passes should have border security first & then legalization. Not the other way around.

There is nothing Trumpkins will not say or do to excuse Trump. Here we have Trump with a more liberal position than Cruz on the topic, yet you excuse Trump because he was not a senator. Pathetic. If that was a wrong position to hold in 2013 - it was wrong for both Cruz and Trump. If you accept that Trump's position has changed since then, you accept that Cruz's position has changed since then. You can't logically have one set of rules for Trump and another set of rules for everyone else. If you do, then you are admitting that your support has nothing to do with Trump or with his positions - you just want to burn things down and Trump is the match.

Cruz has been grooming himself for this moment for most of his life. Slick, polished, and contrived.

“Even massive deportations without stopping illegal labor won’t work.”

A person found within the United States, having entered illegally, shall:

1. Receive fifty lashes on the back with a cat o’nine tails.
2. Be branded on both cheeks with the letter “B” for “border crasher,” said brand to be two inches tall.
3. Forfeit all monies and properties earned or amassed in the United States, wherever located.
4. Walk from where apprehended to the Mexican border on a diet of beans and tortillas, sleeping in the open.
6. On their journey, ejectees shall pick up trash, cut grass with scythes and other unpowered tools, trim roadside shrubbery, clean rest area toilets, and perform such other tasks as may be ordered.
7. Any person seen with the letter “B” branded on the cheeks who is not a member of a guarded ejectee party may be shot and killed on sight by any U.S. citizen at any time.
8. Idiots may offer ejectees food and water if they like. The penalty for providing ejectees with arms or assisting them to escape shall be death by firing squad, following a guilty verdict in a trial to be conducted by three officers of the U.S. military.
9. Any attempt to bribe a guard is punishable by death, following a guilty verdict in a trial to be conducted by three officers of the U.S. military. A bribe can be monetary or in the form of goods and services, especially including carnal services.
10. Any guard accepting a bribe shall be executed following a guilty verdict in a trial to be conducted by three officers of the U.S. military.
12. After the great majority of illegal aliens have been ejected, two fences 10 feet tall and 50 feet apart shall be erected on the Mexican side of the border. The area between the fences shall be heavily planted with anti-personnel mines. Motion-sensor-activated machine guns shall be emplaced in such a way as to cover the entire area between the fences with interlocking fields of fire.
13. The President of the United States shall, before the UN General Assembly, tell the President of Mexico to kiss his ass.
14. The organization known as “La Raza” and all similar groups are hereby designated domestic enemies of the Constitution. Active membership in such organizations shall be punished by death.

Announce that and see how long it takes them to self-deport.

Even if you hold that Cruz changed positions it is not as extreme as once supporting partial birth abortion, single payer healthcare, and assault weapons bans.

Everyone knew Trump was aping the democrats' rhetoric on the senate floor

I'm assuming you meant Cruz

RedState of all places put it this way:

Yes, Cruz went out and said he really wanted the bill to pass, however, this is what you do when you offer a poison pill.

Then further

So did Cruz mislead his fellow senators? That's not the question.

Even RedState didn't have Cruz's back on his tactic of deceiptfulness.

But everyone likes the plan after Trump inserts the requirement that the illegals make a round-trip back home first before returning for their papers?

Is ConservativeNutHouse.com still suffering from Cruz Derangement Syndrome?

I’m dead serious, and if you think it’s too un-PC, you’ll never solve the problem.

Fixing the problem within our lifetimes will require measures at least that strong, if not more so.

Yeah, pretty much. Both the Stupid Party and the demonrats need to go.

If there is anyone who still does not understand what "intellectual dishonesty" is, paintriot's comment is a perfect example, and CA Conservative's assessment of it is right on.

"Even if you hold that Cruz changed positions it is not as extreme as once supporting partial birth abortion, single payer healthcare, and assault weapons bans."

You are attempting to use facts when arguing with Trust Fund Donnie cultists.

You'd have more luck tying to reason with a Jehovah's Witness.

Or a doorstop.

You don’t know me, or the reasons I support Trump. I don’t know you, but I would guess you back Cruz because you feel he is best. I like Trumps platform and executive experience. He is not perfect in my book. I don’t like his personality, but I can get past that. I was a Cruz supporter when Cruz announced. I will vote for Cruz should he be the nominee.

On calling me a Trumpkin and pathetic. Not very nice, but I understand you’re frustrated.

The Treehouse is a wholly owned subsidiary of Trump Enterprises. It’s the way he rolls. If you can’t beat them, buy them.

Yes and not very Christlike, and that is fine except for the fact a lot of his People say He is. Not Judging just observing.
