Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas said the "divisive" issue of what to do about the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants who live in the United States distracts from the problem of securing the borders.
"My view is first, we secure the borders and solve the problem of illegal immigration. And then I think we can have a conversation about what to do about the people who remain here," the Republican presidential candidate said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday.
When pressed on the issue of the 11 million people already here he said, "President Obama and the Democrats focus on that issue because the question you're asking is the most divisive partisan question in this entire debate. And I don't believe President Obama wants to solve this."
Cruz also accused members of his own party of being supportive of "amnesty" — or giving undocumented immigrants who arrived illegally a way to stay in the United States.
"A lot of Republicans in the Washington cartel, they're all for amnesty too because from the perspective of the chamber of commerce and Wall Street, it's cheap labor," he said.
No one asked you to have any particular sentiment towards Ted Cruz. You made demands on the thread and you were answered. You made further demands and you were told to satisfy your demands on your own. You launched ad hominem attacks and you were given phone numbers to Ted Cruz’ offices. You continued your ad hominem attacks and it was recommended that you take your attitude to the Huffington Post Blog where like-minded posters inhabit the comment space there.
Now you are continuing your inanity and insults thereby revealing clearly that there is nothing of substance inside you.
Wrong.
Your demands are in the thread for all to see.
Your questions were demands.
Those that ask questions without intending to do the necessary work to answer their own questions are in effect making a demand on someone else’s time.
Cruz is getting closer to the truth.
He needs to change it to “Slave Labor” and equate it to Chinese who were forced to build the railroads.
> “Got it.”
No, you haven’t got anything except diversions to nursery rhymes.
You certainly haven’t got any contribution to make to the forum on this subject.
Thanks for the link post, my memory may be out of date and the programs changed/redefined. My info was as of the late 90’s and years ff.; but I know the programs have been progressively modified by the Chamber’s biddable Creatures of Hench in Congress.
