I just heard the O'Reilly Factor where Cruz and Rubio were interviewed.
The first revelation is that their immigration policies when it comes to deporting illegals is virtually identical to Trump's including the part about rounding up the 11 million illegals and deporting them. I was simply amazed. O'Reilly asked both candidates if they would deport the 11 million illegals and they both said that they would. Six months ago they were not this clear about immigration deportations.
The more interesting answer was from Cruz. O'Reilly suggested that it could not be done because the illegals were entitled to the due process provision of the law. Cruz emphatically said that this was not true and that using ICE the president had the total legal authority to deport illegal aliens in this country. Cruz re-emphasized that with his legal background this was the case.
O'Reilly argued a bit with Cruz and Cruz said that he knew for a fact the president had the total legal authority to deport whoever is here illegally without going through the courts.
Cruz in essence confirmed that what Trump wanted to do regarding deportation all these months is 100% legal and doable under the authority given the president. That was an amazing admission on Cruz' part and a confirmation that Trump as president can indeed deport whoever is in the US illegally. It also confirms that Trump has some pretty good legal advisers on his team and that he knows exactly what he is talking about.
Rubio is lying .. again .. because he told the illegals .. IN SPANISH .. that he would not remove Obama’s original amnesty law.
I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR RUBIO .. NOT EVEN IF YOU POUR CHOCOLATE ALL OVER HIM AND ADD SPRINKLES.
You are a liar as well. And not a very good one.
Sounds like Cruz is gunning for #2 on the Trump ticket. Very smart of him.
Trump deports them but let’s 90% right back in. Touch back amnesty.
That has been explained by Senator Sessions no less. Either you are too dense to understand or you are intentionally misrepresenting the situation.
Cruz also said Trump was for for giving all 11 million illegals citizenship. Unfortunately I’ve come to believe he will say anything to get elected.
As will Trump.
Rubio has always said he would enforce immigration laws ... when talking to English speaking audiences.
And Rubio has always promised amnesty to Spanish speaking audiences.
We already got to see which group he was lying to.
Liar again. Can’t help yourself, can you?
It was “explained” that Cruz was lying then to poison the bill? I don’t believe that, he doesn’t appear to be lying in the video, and if he is, he’s too good of a liar. Also, it was mighty convenient that he didn’t “admit” the amendment was a poison pill until 2 years later when he was running for President.
I'm amazed that anyone is surprised about this. Cruz knows the law. When asked, he recites it. He doesn't guess - he knows.
So you don’t believe Senator Sessions?
Six months ago they were not this clear about immigration deportations.
That’s because six months ago they didn’t want to deport. And six minutes after they’re elected they won’t want to deport.

That is what I concluded too. They are now sounding like Trump mini me’s and as soon as they are elected they will forget all about the deportations.
Uh oh, if Marco sees that might give him ideas. :-)
Beck looks like he cheats a lot on his fasts.
If Cruz was talking about it in 2011, his balls dropped off sometime after that, because for 9 months during this Presidential campaign he would not talk about what to do with the illegals already here.
Well, this debate doesn't matter too much anymore. Cruz is toast.
It was 11 million 11 years ago. It’s more like 50 million today.
