U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz appears to be trying to beat Donald Trump at his own game. Amid growing anti-Muslim rhetoric from Trump and other Republican presidential candidates, Cruz introduced his new far-right position on Syrian refugees already in the U.S.: Send them home.
After two terror suspects with links to the Islamic State group were arrested in California and Texas this week, Cruz said Thursday the Obama administration should suspend the resettlement of Syrian refugees and other terrorist-controlled territories and undertake a retroactive assessment of all refugees who have arrived from those "high-risk countries." He also blamed Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, Obama's former secretary of state, for the alleged Syrian refugee threat, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
The arrests "underscore the profound danger that is facing this country from radical Islamic terrorism. And these arrests underscore how utterly indefensible President Obama and Hillary Clinton's proposal is to bring tens of thousands of Syrian refugees into the country," Cruz said....

Good! Number one and two in the polls are simpatico with the idea of stopping illegal immigration, reforming and limiting legal immigration and keeping Muslims out unless they have skills necessary and in need in our country. Think Doctors.
That makes me more comfortable with my primary vote for Cruz and my General Election vote for the Trump/Cruz ticket.
Deport all muslims and strip them of there citizenship
Repatriate them.
Trump has said, “Those that are here, they gotta go!”
Again, Cruz is parroting Trump’s ideas.
I think it’s OK if we keep the Christian Syrian Refuges. Send the others to Turkey. They like terrorists.
Pandering alert. Cruz wouldn’t do any of this if elected.
And Cruz supporters will say the opposite.
WHO CARES ? I hope they both stick to that plan. That way, whichever one wins, we win.
What concerns me is not whether either of them WOULD do it, but whether the ruling elite would have them killed for trying.
I agree, the Christians can stay.
0bama is deporting the Christian Refugees.
I am not ready to start talking about this until I research it further to see if it has been modified by more recent court cases, but it was very interesting to say the least.
As usual with Cruz, better late than never. But glad he’s now on board! That’s more than any other candidate (other than Trump) can say.
“Trump has said, “Those that are here, they gotta go!â€
Again, Cruz is parroting Trump’s ideas.”
You are correct. Nice for Cruz to give Trump some backup.
Cruz is a good man!
He should be president, and after he serves he should end up on the Supreme Court!
I think his ticket to both is to become Trump’s VP... I don’t think he could win this season as the top of the ticket. I do think he could be elected on his own after a successful term as the VP.
I wish every member of the SC respected the constitution as Cruz does.
He’s not perfect...but who is?
That's my thinking as well!
About the refugee influx.... isn't it odd how all the women and children refugees seem to have beards!? lol
How can anyone be stupid enough to trust male refugees that seem to have abandoned their women folk to their fates as they flee to the west!?
True the girl who wrote this article is not up to speed that Trump has been saying this for a long time.
