You’re kidding right?

The people that are legally coming here have taken to a long, difficult, and expensive effort to become American citizens, and they are in no way the problem.

Lumping then together with illegals is a sure loser.
Like how many of these legal immigrants are heading to the welfare rolls after spending YEARS going through the process?

We dont need to put that on hold, we need to stop the illegals completely.

We need to put a stop on all immigration, legal or not. A moratorium of at least thirty years to assimilate the ones already here makes sense.

Beware hit and run liberals trying to stir up the pot so to speak.

Anyone paying attention knows Ted Cruz will do more to fight illegal immigration than any candidate running will ever actually do (regardless of what they are now saying)

Walker in my opinion felt compelled to go far to the right in hopes of appearing stronger of the issue than he has historically been. But may have gone to far, and judging from many of the comments on this board since they other day, he didn't even convince many he really meant it and was being accused by many here of flip flopping on the issue.

I will give Walker a little benefit of the doubt on this particular issue, but I don't believe for a moment he would actually be to the right of Cruz on this issue if he were elected.

Legal immigration is what destroyed America and what makes it impossible to ever recover, and what has erased us as a nation and erased our culture, and it is why we are erasing the history we teach in schools as we become the world’s international state.

Who do you think the American left and the democrat part is, the native population of 1965?

If Cruz wants to increase immigration from 1 million to 2 million per year he is not going to break double digits in polling.

Nigel Farage and Jeff Sessions are right. Cruz is wrong.

Millions of lawful immigrants are collecting food stamps and other benefits.

The Boston bombers were legal immigrants. So are all these Somalis on welfare.

Do you believe Bush or Obama would deport people for being a public charge?

Walker is right and Cruz is wrong.

I still support Cruz overall but he’s going to screw himself on this.

What about the Somali and other Muslim immigrants that Barry lets in with unconditionally.

There's simply too many legal immigrants from the 3rd world and other parasites who aren't accepting American culture and values.

I like Cruz, but we don’t need a 500% increase in H1B visas that he supports.

“The people that are legally coming here have taken to a long, difficult, and expensive effort to become American citizens, and they are in no way the problem.”

You’re kidding, right?

Our community has all kind of legal immigrants let in under various programs who are living in subsidized housing, are on food stamps and other public assistance. Many are Africans let in on lottery or refugee statuses. They have few if any job skills and are a drag on the economy. Maybe you’re thinking of the great contributions of the Somalis, who have produced a lot of jihadis here in the states? Or the swarms of mohammedans that are being allowed in (little Dearbornistans popping up around the country)?

A Fox News report in 2013 said:

“Recent studies show welfare spending on immigrant-headed households is relatively high. A Center for Immigration Studies report found that 36 percent of these households were using “at least one major welfare program” in 2010 — compared with 23 percent of other households.

“Sessions’ office says the number of non-citizens on food stamps has skyrocketed in recent years. And the conservative Heritage Foundation claims low-skill immigrant households take in roughly $20,000 more in government benefits every year than they pay in taxes.”

How many legal immigrants do we need to import until you think we have enough?

If they come where are they going to find jobs? We don’t have enough jobs for our own citizens?

Some people do not know the meaning or sense of ‘completely’ doing something.
