Senator Cruz is for reducing Legal immigration drastically. He says the level should be determined based on its effect on the American worker. This has been his policy for a long time, but he has not done a very good job of getting it across to people.
I don’t think Trump has abandoned the wall deal at all. He still sees it as a major part of securing the border, but he says we will begin deportation immediately before it is finished and will use increased border patrols, drones and enhanced e-verify to increase security.
Both Trump and Cruz agree that the criminals and those on public assistance go first and will not be returning. All will be deported, but some can come back by going through a legal process.
If legal immigration is cut from the current million to 250,000 a year as Cruz is proposing, the numbers will be reasonable. Both candidates say we must not allow anyone to be here illegally, period.
Trump has a book coming out on Aug 6th that is a revised and expanded version of a previous book. In it, he gives detailed plans for what he would do as President. The name of the book is “Time To Get Tough”.
I have seen Trump’s Tax Plan and it is the best I have ever seen from any candidate.
The best thing that could happen would be for Trump and Cruz to be on a ticket together. They are our country’s best chance of being the country we should be again.
“If legal immigration is cut from the current million to 250,000 a year as Cruz is proposing”
Legal immigration should be cut to a baseline of zero, with a maximum of 10,000 humanitarian visas. Military family visas should be rubber-stamped, but limited to the immediate family.
Cruz may be saying all the right things, but he is fundamentally a weak man. It shows in his face.
