Ted Cruz ran for the Senate on building a wall but Trump supporters don’t even bother themselves with the fact that his plan is identical to Hutchinson’s policy...its touchback amnesty. I don’t understand how a businessman that admits to employing illegal aliens is supposedly the candidate to bring illegal immigration to an end. Tom Tancredo was always great on the issue but he never had this sort of support.

And, not once since being elected has he even mentioned that wall. Not once. He didn’t even mention it when he announced his candidacy - so, he had no intention of building a wall - it was campaign rhetoric to get him to where he wanted to go - to the presidency.

Tom Tancredo was a lone voice crying in the wilderness for years with no help at all.

Ted Cruz was elected, in part, to fight for border control and getting the lawbreakers our of here.

Now Trump, because he can manipulate the press, gets all the credit for trying to end illegal immigration.

Trump is standing on the shoulders of better men on every subject.
It’s what he does.

You Cruz supporters are good at telling half truths...Initially Cruz wasn't going to involve the illegals who were settled in and comfortably collecting welfare benefits...His only plan was to get rid of the illegals who were committing crimes...Now there's a plan for ya...

Then Cruz escalated his plan and now talks about removing those illegals from the welfare roles...They'll have no choice but to go back to Mexico...

Really??? And how many Americans are then going to get robbed and killed by very hungry, cold illegal aliens who were once on the welcome wagon???

You guys then put a name on Trump's plan and liken it to a big dose of poison we have to take...Trump said he will deport ALL of them and allow the good ones back in AS THEY ARE NEEDED...

Trump also plans to get those 94,000,000 legal Americans to work who have given up on looking for work...And once the illegals leave, there's going to be some openings in the work force...

The illegals under Trump's plan will come back as legals as/if there are openings in the work force that Americans citizens can't fill...And none of them will come back to again go on welfare...And that's the rest of the story...

Kindly post a citation demonstrating that Trump knowingly employs illegal aliens. He has stated over and over that he checks the backgrounds of his employees, and the only illegals I have heard about working for his projects are those who were hired by subcontractors.

Example: I live in an HOA community, and must pay dues every month for residents to behave generally appropriately and for maintenance. The Board hires a company that employs illegals to mow, mulch and snowblow. I imagine you believe I should pack up and move away, since my efforts at changing the Board's decision have not been successful; otherwise, Christ will reject me on Judgement Day?

The problem of illegals working in our economy is deeply entrenched, and for the past many years since Eisenhower, no administration has effectively moved to stop it. Even Reagan signed a big amnesty bill. Sincere efforts to stop it have been routinely thwarted by "right" lawyers and leftists. Holder and Oblameme have been egregiously thwarting any efforts to stem the tide. Now you want to point the finger at the one man who has dared to say, "It's harmful; let's stop it, and this is how we must go about it!"

It's the same insane logic that leads to the belief that a man who has BRAGGED about all the politicians he's bought over the years is the one who can put an end to the buying of our politicians. People have lost their minds.
