I am reading what Mark Levin says. It is not rocket science when you read it.
That did make me cringe. I did hear him previously state that all those here illegally must leave and go to the back of the line.
I pin my greatest hope on having a very strong wall built.
Second, my hope is that we incentive most illegals to self-deport, along with their anchor babies. Then once gone let them get in the back of the line and wait 10+ years.
Another Hollywood movie solution would be to topple Mexico's government and reform it such that their economy would boom and most would want to return.
>>I was 100% for Cruz but now I have nothing but contempt for him.<<
So silly.
Uh, under existing law the kids are US citizens. We can't legally deport US citizens.
Cruz is the only candidate that is electable.
He has the presence of mind to redirect the foolish gotcha questions into revelation of real solutions.
All the rest are clowns of various stripe.
Trump can’t talk about anything but immigration (which does need to be discussed) so he has to leave every opportunity to offer solutions for other issues hanging. Trumpets can’t see that, but real voters do.
Sarcasm is a lost art.
Your entire reply was interesting. In tonight's interview with Kelly, Cruz did not mention the wall or a fence. He did mention drones and biometrics.
That indicates to me that he is not at all serious about solving the problem of illegal immigration.
You might want to learn a little more about him before you make such blatantly ridiculous statements.
Cruz is not afraid to answer the question. He’s setting a precedent by not playing the game the media wants to play. Which is to ask questions intended to corner the conservative position and portray them according to the left’s narrative.
Hence every question about illegals is “what about the children” and every question about abortion is “what about rape and incest” and every question about the minimum wage is about the “man/woman trying to support his/her family on $7.00/hr”.
The only way to win this game is to make it clear that you won’t play by their rules. That’s not being weak, that is being strong and setting your agenda instead of following the media’s.
Whatever rings your chimes. I would rather he looked her in the eye and said, Yes, those who sneaked in must leave, bag and baggage, and apply to come back legally, unless they’re felons; in which case, they get a one way trip.
That’s what Trump said, and his poll numbers went up. I think there’s a lesson there someplace. But the politicians won’t learn it.
It’s a knee jerk response with them. Even with a Christian one. They must ALWAYS have donors and fundraising in the back of their minds. They cannot risk offending some potential donor. They can’t help it. Ask them a question involving PC and they’ll automatically evade it or finesse it in some way.
I don't think so. With that question, Megyn and similar sorts are trying for the immigration equivalent of asking pro-life candidates if they oppose abortion even in cases of rape or incest.
The rape or incest question concerns circumstances that are extremely rare and are a tiny part of the overall issue.
The illegal parents with anchor babies is not at all rare, but is very common, involving probably hundreds of thousands or even a million or so families. It's a question that would involve large numbers of people if we get to that level of law enforcement.
The question needs an answer because it involves so many illegals and anchor babies.
Obviously we don't deport U.S. citizens. We would be deporting their parents. The parents would have to make the decision to take their children, put them up for adoption or hand them over to someone else.
I would think most would want their children with them. Either way the parents must be deported.
He talks more about the poor deals we make with other countries. You haven’t been listening.
He also discusses building up our military. etc. etc.

>> “I can never picture Cruz picking up a sword in defense of Liberty.” <<
.
He has already done that countless times in the SCOTUS, but that is obviously well above your level.
You are pathetic.
The Senate was empty when he did his famous Mitch speech. He was talking to an empty chamber.
.
>> I like Cruz, however the answer should have been “YES”. <<
.
Wrong!
Gotcha questions must never be answered; they have to be diverted to a productive subject.
.
Yes, she did, that interview was painful to watch.
We are DAMN lucky Trump is running.
Trump wasn't afraid to answer the question head on.
The way real men do.
Whether the answer is “Yes, I’d deport them in a New York minute,” or “No, they won the anchor baby exemption” any conservative candidate that answers that question is a fool. Trump is a once in a lifetime exception. A dodge answer, no matter how distasteful, is better than a 10-second doctored and biasly edited sound bite being jammed down your throat 24-7 in the general election.
Have no doubt, that is what Fox News and the GOPe there and the libs in the mainstream media intend this question to be used for at the most crucial time.
Oldplayer
Cruz never said the word WALL!!! not once did he say wall, he said more security, overhead drones BLA, BLA BLA!!!! somehow I think Trump would roll in his own construction crews and within 2 weeks there would be a HUGE wall with the name Trump embossed on it!!!!
