Ted Cruz on Immigration
In terms of illegal immigrants and what should happen to them, Cruz believes that those who enter the country illegally should be offered no path to citizenship or amnesty. He opposes the Obama administration’s current directive, which allows those illegal immigrants who were brought in as children to stay here, and exempts them from deportation, stating, “The Constitution places on the President the solemn responsibility to take care that the Laws be faithfully executed. President Obama has repeatedly defied the Constitution and flouted the rule of law. His latest decision to refuse to enforce our immigration laws is cravenly political, lawless, and wrong. We have a crisis in illegal immigration, and the federal government must get serious about securing our borders; this latest Obama policy is nothing more than an attempt to enact back-door amnesty, and I categorically oppose amnesty.”
Cruz supports an increase in border patrol, and is pushing to triple the size of it. He has also worked towards efforts that would bring more severe punishment to felons who entered the country illegally.
In regards to legal immigrants, Cruz recognizes the value that they offer America, and has said, “I strongly support legal immigrants who come here following the rules, seeking the American dream.”
This is one of the people who cheered the Kelo Versus New London decision. He then went out and made a ton of money based on that precedent. I am quite aware of who and what he is, so it's a permanent “no sale.”
I don't care how much some people like some of the things that come out of his mouth, his use of eminent domain to make a bunch of his money is too disgusting to gloss over. Actions speak louder than words.

“Corporations and organizations give money to everyone, including candidates from both party’s and and on.
This is no secret and has been going on for hundreds of years.
Got anything else?’
Exactly. I suspect if Reagan were still around he’d say “that’s politics!” After all Reagan WAS at one time a Democrat! He began his career as a liberal Democrat. Why is THAT ok but rhetoric (regarding Reagan)that’s less than stellar is considered a mortal sin? Reagan was tougher than to have his feelings hurt by someone else’s verbiage. This “wahhh,someone is calling Reagan a bad name” is just silly and childish. Big deal.
Great post.
It’s find it mind bending on a conservative site, some people have opted to continue electing career government bureaucrats. Over and over and over and over.
These people have literally left America all but dead on the floor.
But we must continue voting for these same people? They claim they’re very experienced at what they do? What have they done? Well, we all know what they’ve done.
What a choice, someone who’s very successful, who’s built a huge empire who seems to understand exactly what needs to be done and says so in unvarnished non-sugar coated terms?
Or another career government bureaucrat?
Tough choice.
What a hoot.
Well I can see your point about eminent domain. I think that’s a most hateful law,,but it is legal.
Each to his own and I respect your position.
Depends...do you want a Johnny come lately to the movement?
Thank you for posting that. I missed it the first time and it is the best summation of TPA I’ve seen.
And none of our politicians or presidents have ever been con artists, I don’t suppose.
And, he would not deport the mamacita with 11 kids on welfare.

Are you just a committed, philosophical supporter of Ted Cruz, or do you get paid for it?
trump said the Oprah thing was a joke, and the person who asked the question was joking, as well.
Cruz’s wife is a Conservative who happen to have a job managing investment accounts of at least 40 million each for Goldman Sachs. She is an accomplished, very intelligent young woman whose parents were missionaries.
I don’t share the view that investments and banks are evil. I know enough to know that without them, none of us would enjoy the standard of living that we do.
Cruz supports securing the border and enforcing our laws. I don’t see anything wrong with that. There has been no candidate advocating mass deportation, although I wish they would.
Vague is still better than what we’re getting from the current White House occupant. I don’t think Trump is being vague...it’s as he said to O’Reilly...he is sick of seeing our strategy telegraphed to the enemy, and he wouldn’t do that.
Are you talking about the person who's not been a career government bureaucrat, who's very successful and built an empire?
You want your leaders coming from the real world? Or the government bureaucratic world, which has in fact left America looted and weak?
I personally am no longer going along with business as usual.
Libbylu posted this in an earlier thread. It is the best summation of TPA I’ve seen:
Whether it’s exporting automobiles or agricultural products, producing tires and turbines or powering a manufacturing renaissance, our workers can compete with anyone, anywhere.
With 95 percent of the world’s customers — and 80 percent of its purchasing power — outside the United States, all South Carolina needs is a fair set of rules, the protection of intellectual property and access to markets. But the rest of the world — especially our competitors — knows this, too.
In an increasingly global economy, there is a race to determine who will write the rules and standards — there are 262 regional trade agreements in the world, and the U.S. is only party to 20 of them. After seven years of weak, directionless U.S. foreign policy, China has been eager to take advantage of the leadership void and has been desperate to strike trade agreements with countries.
For the sake of our workers, our manufacturers, our exporters and our economic stability moving forward, we must act smartly but decisively.
Under consideration in Congress right now is Trade Promotion Authority (TPA). TPA is not a trade agreement. It is the way we ensure that the administration is being transparent and responsive to the concerns of the American people for all trade talks.
TPA sets parameters the administration must negotiate under, and it ensures that the public will be able to read any trade agreement months before it is voted on by Congress. TPA is publicly available for every American to read at www.Congress.gov.
While in the past TPA has been called “fast-track,” this new, muscular version of TPA is designed very differently from past versions. It reins in presidential authority and places much needed oversight and scrutiny on any potential trade agreements.
Currently, without TPA, the U.S. trade representative, appointed by the president, can negotiate without any congressional oversight and does not have to share significant details of that process with anyone outside the administration.
We understand and agree with those who are wary of more overreach by the Obama administration. From Fast and Furious and the IRS targeting scandal to the secret waitlists at the VA and immigration executive orders, we have heard the voices of our constituents and fought executive overreach like few others have.
Those concerns are why TPA ensures that this and future administrations would be required to pursue 150 negotiating objectives specifically established by Congress, consult with and report to Congress on how negotiations are going, and provide an unprecedented level of transparency so the American public has months to read and review any potential agreements negotiated under the TPA.
If, and only if, the president meets these objectives, the agreement will receive an up or down vote in Congress, ensuring a good deal is protected from amendments seeking to kill it. On the other hand, if the president fails to meet them, then we can rescind Trade Promotion Authority.
We have also heard concerns about secrecy from folks across the Upstate. The good news is that TPA mandates any trade deal negotiated under it be made public months before any congressional vote on it. That means every constituent who wants to see everything in the text of the agreement can do so well before any votes.
Finally, this new and modernized version of TPA in no way endangers U.S. sovereignty; rather, it empowers Congress and the American people, not the president or the executive branch. The TPA bill specifically says that any provision of a trade agreement that conflicts with U.S. law, be it immigration, environmental regulations or labor rules, will have no effect, and that U.S. law will supersede any foreign law in a dispute.
Some organizations have conflated TPA with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, which is a specific trade agreement currently under negotiation. We are continuing to monitor the TPP negotiations to ensure that TPP is in the best interest of South Carolina businesses and families. We have also expressed our concerns with TPP in committee hearings on Capitol Hill.
Trade Promotion Authority, if passed into law, will give us a clearer understanding of exactly how our trade representatives are handling the TPP negotiations. And if the U.S. trade representative reaches a final agreement on TPP, then the American people will have more time than ever before to review the proposal and provide input to their congressional representatives. Then Congress would still have to vote on the agreement. TPA in no way, shape or form approves the TPP trade partnership.
Trade Promotion Authority is not about empowering any president, this one or ones to come. Rather, it is about dictating the terms of trade negotiations beforehand, ensuring transparency in the process and providing months for our fellow citizens to read the text before it can be voted on. That’s why strong conservatives such as Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, George Will, Charles Krauthammer and the two of us support it.
Trey Gowdy represents the 4th Congressional District in the U.S. House, and Tim Scott is South Carolina’s junior U.S. senator.
TPP is a trade agreement, not a treaty. That is dictated by the components of tariffs and revenues. Such agreement are approved by both the House and the Senate.
Lets see, you’re surprised business movers and shakers and massive corporations don’t bad mouth those in politics when they’re in the business trying to make profits in a country heavily regulated by the same exact people in politics?
Are you joking?
Come on.
