“There’s no question that Ted Cruz is the best candidate in the field to defeat the media.”

Ted’s too late. Trump has already defeated them. Most recent examples:

1. CNBC just caved to Trump’s (and Carson’s) ultimatums regarding format changes.

2. NBC refuses to cave to La Raza’s “growing” demand to cancel Trump’s appearance on SNL.

3. Trump’s REPEATED public accusations that the media is biased, dishonest and liars.

Poppycock. The media made Trump. They give him GOBS of free air time. In return, Trump is playing to their ideal of a "Republican" with no intention of doing what you think he's saying.

Trump is in the hotel, construction, and golf course businesses. You have to know that he and his subcontractors ONLY employ American citizens and legal immigrants, right?

Obviously not. Trump would not be competitive in those enterprises unless he has. Even so, Trump's supporters have been so starstruck they've missed his comment, "We'll bring back the good ones." What he evidently plans is a variant on Kay Bailey Hutchison's Operation Touchback, which was rejected as equivalent to amnesty back in 2007.

The politicians in DC are very aware that Americans want the illegal aliens to go. That is why their latest Scamnesty legislation includes a “touchback” provision. Under these laws, the illegal aliens can hop across the Mexican or Canadian borders where special "Ellis Island" stations are set up for them to pay a fine, receive new documentation and be back in the US within days or hours. Source And from another source: The bill’s “touchback” requirement appears aimed at making it appear that the newly-legalized aliens are applying for permanent status from their home countries “just like other applicants.” This exercise in window-dressing fails to disguise the fact that under the bill illegal aliens enjoy their own privileged pathway to citizenship, don’t compete with applicants who have complied with U.S. immigration laws, and come right back into the United States after applying abroad.

Senator Hutchison says that this “touchback” before permanent residency amounts to a grant of “amnesty,” and therefore opposes it. She thinks that the illegal immigrants should have to leave the country in order to file additional paperwork before they can get the Z visas.

But this is a distinction without a difference. Whether or not she is successful in amending the bill, illegal immigrants will get probationary legal status, and thus the ability to work in this country without being subject to deportation, immediately. That’s amnesty: The law-breakers get the object of their crime. An immigrant who overstayed his visa can keep working under the Hutchison plan. Another immigrant who obeyed the law and left when his visa expired, on the other hand, will be out of luck. Source

Trump has apparently hidden the same gambit behind the shell of temporary deportation, else he'd better explain how he is going to deport one-out-of-fifteen US residents.

If he can’t, I can.
