I wouldn’t take it that far. Cruz performed quite well a few weeks back on when he was badgered in an interview on Univision about illegal alien policy and he turned it back on Jorge Ramos asking him “What does Mexico do with illegal aliens?” to which Ramos replied “Mexico deports them”.
Ted is not saying what he will do specifically with illegals but he is clear that a wall will be built and control of the border will be achieved. He says what we do with illegals is not important until we have a wall and a secure border. And he’s right. Deported illegals come back all the time, many times. Without a wall and border security what we do with illegals doesn’t matter.
Trump is more direct. “They got to go” is Trump’s line. The illegal lobby is going nuts that Trump should say that.
The way Trump handled Ramos in the press conference today in Iowa is a perfect example of how he ill treat all illegals. Ramos got up out of turn and started screaming and Trump told him to sit down. When Ramos kept on ranting Trump gave a strong look to the side stage and a security person came out and ejected Ramos from the room.
This is the way you handle foreigners who break the rules, break the law. You let security do their jobs and get them out of there.
Later, Trump let Ramos come back in and ask questions and when Ramos tried to take over the press conference by making statement after statement Trump said “Listen to me!” and once again laid down the rules; you ask a question, I give an answer. You don’t take over my press conference. Finally, he got Ramos to admit that Trump was right and Trump said “You see, we get along, you agree with me and we are going to have a lot of press conferences together”.
All this was perfectly in line with what Trump has been saying, that he will get the illegals out of America so fast it will make people’s heads spin AND the illegals can go back, get their proper papers together and come back in legally and they can make a lot of money if they do everything the legal way, no exceptions. And that is exactly how he handled Ramos today. Although Ramos is not illegal, Ramos was breaking the rules of the conference and so Trump handled him exactly as he would an illegal border crosser; get him out, let him come back legally and lay down the rules for him to follow.
We can see why Trump is so successful. He knows how to manage people, set the tone and lay down the rules for everybody to follow.
The ticket must be Trunp/Cruz because there can be no margin for error in losing to the democrats. Together they can win most assuredly. Individually, it’s a roll of the dice.
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.
