It is always the typical technique of the smear: Dig up all the stuff from someone’s past and lie like hell about it. People forget that there is a difference from the past to the now. The now is what you have learned from the past to change for the better.

Trump was giving speeches at many events speaking against amnesty. Many are on youtube if they look.

Let’s not forget that Trump has called for amnesty even while declaring he’d built the border wall. Trump has been pretty crystal clear in his support for amnesty.

Very true, and thank you for pointing this out.

Trump's "send them back and let them in" policy is essentially the "touchback" provision of the 2007 amnesty bill. His new nickname should be Touchback Trump.

As recently as August, Trump was taking pro-amnesty stands.

http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/259589/donald-trump-endorses-amnesty-illegal-aliens-daniel-greenfield

"Now, a lot of these people are helping us, whether it's the grapes, or whether it's jobs, and sometimes it's jobs, in all fairness, I love our country, but sometimes it's jobs that a citizen of the United States doesn't want to do. I mean, there are jobs that a lot of people don't want to do. I want to move them out, and we're going to move them back in. [i.e., touchback]

"I mean, a lot of people don't understand that, but the DREAMers, it’s a tough situation, we're going to do something, and one of the things we’re going to do is expedite -- when somebody's terrific, we want them back here.

"I have to tell you: Some of these people have been here, they've done a good job. You know, in some cases, sadly, they've been living under the shadows. ... If somebody's been outstanding, we try and work something out.”

[The article continues] This is in line with what CNN's Chris Moody reported Trump saying during a press conference in Chicago at the end of June. When asked what he would do about the illegal immigrants already residing in the country once the border was secured, Trump replied, "give them a path," according to Moody.

http://liberteanow.us/2015/07/14/2601/

Trump: You have to give them a path. You have 20 million, 30 million, nobody knows what it is. ... I actually heard you probably have 30 million. You have to give them a path, and you have to make it possible for them to succeed. You have to do that. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/422351/donald-trump-immigration-amnesty-build-wall

Asked about his immigration ideas on CNN, Trump was a mess, beginning with the old "jobs Americans won’t do" canard favored by open-borders proponents (a canard because it always leaves out the relevant qualifier: "at current wages"), then suggesting that we should deport the millions of illegals who are already here only to turn around and bring them back ("I want to move them out, and we're going to move them back in, and let them be legal.") This process would include those brought here as young children, who will be deported and recycled based on the criterion of whether they are -- Trump's word -- "terrific." What might constitute a federal terrificness standard remains unclear. "We’re going to do something," Trump said.

[The article continues] Deporting some 11 million illegals who have for many years evaded deportation only to reimport them under an expedited legal immigration system, the contours of which currently are undefined, and then granting them some sort of permanent legal status is simply another variation on amnesty, and a complicated, expensive, and thick-headed version of amnesty at that. Like the proposed reform program of 2007, which would have purportedly required illegals to be present in their country of origin when applying for legal status, this isn’t just amnesty -- it’s also amnesty-laundering.

How can you tell when a Lawyer is lying?
When Ted Cruz’s lips are moving.
At first I liked this guy, and given the choices, if he is the nominee, then he’ll get my vote.
But, I am starting to get the feeling that Cruz is not a bonafide conservative candidate... he may well be a Boehnorfied conservative candidate.
He is starting to feel like a sleazy, slimey, career politician.
A Harvard man.

Letting the “good ones” back in using an expedited system is touch back amnesty, a policy that will create millions of new Democrat voters.

Go play your word games somewhere else. The author, and anyone who passes on his lies, is a lying sack of crap.

...and doing damage to Ted Cruz.

I want to move them out, and we’re going to move them back in.
.....................................................

Gee, did you forget the word LEGALLY which Trump always uses on the end of that sentence?

Sadly, I don’t think you did.

The touchback policy also said they’d come back legally.

It’s just another form of amnesty — a convoluted, expensive form of amnesty at that.

Here’s the lie you claim is a direct quote:

“Now, a lot of these people are helping us, whether it’s the grapes, or whether it’s jobs, and sometimes it’s jobs, in all fairness, I love our country, but sometimes it’s jobs that a citizen of the United States doesn’t want to do. I mean, there are jobs that a lot of people don’t want to do. I want to move them out, and we’re going to move them back in.

There is no need for me to argue, and I have not been arguing; I have just been quoting Cruz.

Touch-back amnesty. Spend tens of billions, or maybe hundreds of billions deporting them, then “expedite” most of them back in for tens of billions of dollars. Own it.

How does Donald explain saying that he thought the “good” illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay and be made legal just 2 weeks before he said they should all be deported?

You are lying by omission by cutting the quote short leaving out the fact that Trump says they will come back legally.

And you did it for a reason.

Trump is saying some things about Cruz that are pissing me so I will say it.

And I will call out liars like you when you pull crap like this. Post the entire quote or nothing at all.
