Cruz will close the border. He has a very smart, multifaceted approach to dealing with illegals that has been shown historically to work.
Cruz’s plan is to deport criminals and any illegals that come into contact with law enforcement, while cutting off welfare and employment. With the border secured and incentives drying up, millions will self deport.
Five times as many illegals self deported during Operation Wetback as were deported by the program directly. When Arizona passed their immigration law, the highways were backed up with illegals leaving.
This is a smarter, less costly approach than just rounding them up, deporting them at great expense only to expedite and process, again at great expense, the “good ones” back in.
So, Cruz’s plan is essentially Trump’s plan with a bit more verbiage. Good to know.
Not to mention bloodshed.
By any chance, do you have a source for that? I'll look myself as well, but figured I'd ask. Trump supporters seem to believe that Cruz is advocating for leaving illegal immigrants here if they aren't criminals.
