If Cruz gets nominated I will vote for him but I have little fait in his ability to get rid of the illegals. His donors are big Wall street guys who want the border left open. Ted Cruz will likely only give token effort at securing the border. There will be no wall that I am sure of.
Why wouldn’t I want the guy who swears to Budhha he’s going to build a wall and round up and deport?
Because Cruz will also secure the border, plus eliminate the magnets that attract illegal aliens, resulting in large-scale self-deportation -- all with much less fuss and bother.
There is another consideration that is almost never considered. Which is more likely to actually get done?
1. Forcible mass deportation.
2. Elimination of job opportunities and welfare benefits, thence resultant large-scale self-deportation.
You understand that a President simply can't decree either approach. In either case, he will need the cooperation of Congress and a significant segment of the federal bureaucracy -- not to mention the continued support of the people.
Which is more likely to achieve its ends?
