Texas Senator and Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) accused Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly of asking the question every mainstream media liberal journalist wants to ask and the question Barack Obama wants to focus on on Tuesdays Kelly File on the Fox News Channel.
Cruz was asked about his support for ending birthright citizenship and whether this means he favors amending the Constitution, he answered, Well, as a policy matter, Megyn, it doesnt make any sense anymore, that people who are here illegally, that their children would have automatic citizenship. That what that does is it serves as an incentive encouraging people to break the law and come here illegally. And we ought to change that policy. Now, as you noted there is a legal dispute about the best means to do it. And there are serious scholars who argue that Congress could do it through statute defining what it means to be subject to the jurisdiction, the language of the 14th Amendment. There are other serious constitutional scholars who argue the only way to change it is through a constitutional amendment. My view is we should pursue either or both, whichever is effective. What matters, is that we should change the policy so were not rewarding, and incentivizing, and encouraging more illegal immigration.

I think I remember Cruz saying he favored a wall on border just recently. It is late and I am tired, and can’t remember when and where he said that. Can someone post where and when Cruz said he wants a wall on border?
Do that too. And should have been done years ago. But it's not just about illegals from Mexico coming in looking for jobs from greedy employers looking to line their pockets.
Lots of folks with real bad intent pour across from all points too. And Mexico is one of the most corrupt countries on the planet. We live in a dangerous world. We need the wall.
Agreed—Kelly is a liberal gotcha journalist, but Cruz is too slippery by half.
I happened to note her eyes are red. Matches her dress. Bet she could mumble incoherent gibberish and some guys would applaud.
Let me know if you find the answers to those questions.
BINGO. *IF* they are Citizens, THEY can stay...not illegal mommy/daddy. Watch Liberal heads explode.
Unfortunately, I read/heard a politician answer: More govt, more govt, MORE govt....everything for AFTER they are over the border. More shouldered by those outside of D.C. (employers), not doing one of their FEW authorized JOBS.
