"Just tell us your amnesty position! We want our 'GOTCHA' question answered NOW! Are you or are you not gonna deport these 11 million?! Tell us! TELL USSSS!"
Where is Cruz on amnesty? All I have heard him say is secure the border then we’ll figure it out. Not bashing him at all. I was just wondering if he has mentioned his exact position.
Cruz says he is “unequivocally opposed to amnesty” (his exact words) at the 4:27 mark in this video dated May 30, 2015.
On deportations he holds off because he says first secure the border. This is smart because it avoids letting his opposition get a sound bite that he will deport them all and then they will say that’s impossible. I am confident he will take the Eisenhower approach.
On amnesty and illegals, he is 100% opposed. He favors only ‘legal’ immigration.
Cruz says “No Amnesty for anyone here illegally, EVER”. He has not said what to do with those here illegally after the border is secured, because he realizes that the job of the President does not mean he Dictates their fate. That decision should come from the people through the legislature. I know what I think should happen and I hope that the majority of Americans will agree.
“All I have heard him say is secure the border then we’ll figure it out. Not bashing him at all. I was just wondering if he has mentioned his exact position.”
No, because it’s a trap. We were all tricked into believing we’d get a secure border in return for 3 million granted amnesty.
The number one priority is the border. What to do after that is off the table until the border is secure. It is a winning position - leave the left to speculate all day long on the 11 million, but without a definitive statement Ted Cruz and Donald Trump for that matter own the issue with the American people.
I maybe wrong but I think his position is to build a wall first
And then decide what to do with the illegals already here.
That is the exact position. Seal the border now.
Getting into all of this hypothetical quagmire about what are all of the following steps is stopping us from addressing step number one.
We all agree that the border needs to be secured. There will be some serious gnashing of teeth when we get to later steps. But it's only getting worse while we delay.
We are playing into the marxist's hands by delaying and allowing more illegals through the border.
Too logical for you? Not enough red meat and chest thumping?
