Why is it so hard to say "we need to return persons here illegally to their home nations as quickly as we can".
Cruz always wants to have his cake and eat it to.
Which explains how Trump has passed him in the polls in only a few weeks.
National Polls: Trump now in 7th at 6.5%, Cruz fallen to 8th at 4.0%
New Hampshire: Trump in 3rd at 10%, Cruz in 9th place at 4.2%, behind Carly Fiorina.
Cruz is doing a bit better in Iowa: 6.0% gets him 8th place there, to Trump's 8.3% 7th.
In South Carolina Cruz is polling ahead of Trump: Cruz in 4th at 8.3% (behind favorite son Linsey at 11% in 3rd place.) Trump has a meager 2% in SC, and 10th place. This hasn't changed on the newer polls either.
