Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has been moving to the right on immigration over the last several months, both as a chance to appeal to Donald Trump supporters and as a way to cast himself as the true conservative against pro-amnesty establishment candidates like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R).
The Democratic National Committee tried to entrap Cruz at a campaign event in Storm Lake, Iowa yesterday by having an illegal immigrant DREAMer named Ofelia Valdez confront the Texas senator.
"As a DACA holder myself, I worried about whoever comes next to the presidency and what's going to happen to people like us," Valdez said to Cruz. "I think of myself as part of this community and you know, first day of presidency, you decide to deport, you know, people like myself, you know, it's just very difficult to process."
Cruz took an approach that as a sovereign nation, America like all other countries has a right to defend their laws.
"Well listen, I would note, if you're a DACA recipient, that means that you were brought here illegally, and violating the laws has consequences," Cruz said. "And one of the problems with our broken immigration systems is that it is creating human tragedies."(continued)

Such a great response .. I know his heart doesn’t want to deport her .. but he loves the LAW more.
You either support the laws of this country .. or you allow it to become a dumping ground for everybody.
Trump would have said it so much better and then made her pay for the air time she wasted with her stupid question.

I like that!! That is what would have had done to her!!!
Senator Cruz has such a great command of the issues. It looks like he has rooted amnesty out of his vocabulary.
There be more: After one of the bouncers took away her coat and kicked her out into the snowbank.
Saying “you know” three times in one sentence is sufficient reason for her to be deported, regardless of her citizenship!
Cruz’ response was on the money.
