Be still my beating heart! There it is, out there,the M-word! Several of them in fact! Moratorium on Muslim Migration!
I started to write this post yesterday, then spent the day running out to the doctor (nothing is fast with doctors these days, have you noticed that) and as I'm trying to read news on my phone, the Cruz and Paul news was eclipsed by The Donald news when he jumped on the bandwagon.
However, all of the news reports I was reading and hearing claimed Donald Trump was alone in his call for a ban on Muslim migration to America. He was actually the third Presidential candidate to make that call. Trump called it a "ban," but that sounds like moratorium to me.
This is what I started to write about yesterday from Julia Hahn at Breitbart. She has Senator Cruz uttering the word and I heard Senator Paul say it on Fox News yesterday morning!
trump paul cruz ap ap reuters Separating themselves from the pack in a big way!
Presidential candidates Sens. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) are demanding a halt to immigration from Muslim nations with jihadist movements.
Their fellow contender, Sen. Marco Rubio, did not call for curbs to Muslim immigration in his live response to the President address on Fox News , a response promoted by Rubio’s campaign.
Cruz tweeted that if elected president, "I will shut down the broken immigration system that is letting jihadists into our country." Cruz elaborated in a statement:
The President should place an immediate moratorium on refugees from countries with a significant al Qaeda or ISIS presence, such as Syria. I've introduced legislation to make this happen; it is not a desired step, but a necessary step for the security of the United States.
Similarly, Rand Paul tweeted, "While ‪@POTUS paid lip service to this fight, he plans to keep failed rules in place & allow tens of thousands of refugees to enter the US."
"Immigration visas & refugees from countries with active terror networks must be halted while we determine how to better secure our borders," Paul in a separate tweet. "His administration is focused on gun laws that won’t stop terrorists while pushing policies that will let more of them in the country," Paul wrote.

Trump follows?
I think they follow Trump, don’t they?
Right!
Nope. According to the news clips and twitter, Cruz and Paul were the first to speak of a moratorium.
Cruz and Paul were first according to news clips and social media entries.
Moratorium is acceptable....just so long as it is a permanent one as in until hell freezes over
Cruz said stop ‘refugee’ migration.
Trump went bigger.
We need a special corps to deal with the ‘Muslim Problem’.
The corps should have a special uniform and a special insignia.
Let me see. What could we use?
Oh. I’ve got it. Black uniforms with a skull and crossbones atop a black hat.
But instead of rigging up concentration camps here we should ship them all to Saudi Arabia that has enough space in their concentration camp for all of North America’s garbage.
....almost never.......at least vis a vis Cruz. Months to decades ahead on some issues.....
I agree. I would like to see all Muslims deported. Their culture can never be compatible with ours and their presence is a threat due to the violent teachings of Islam.
Thanks for enlightening me.
You are right. That has been the story all along. From the moment Trump gave his announcement speech, every single position he took was a position Cruz had already staked out. All Trump left out was religious liberty and abolishing the IRS.
Cruz has been leading on this issue all along. We have some obstacles in the Senate that need to be removed.
[Cruz and Paul were the first to speak of a moratorium.]
Yet Trump is the one who gets s**tcanned in the media.
If anything, that proves who the Democrats and the media cronies are most afraid of winning the nomination.
People need to wake up... Dems WANT Cruz to be the nominee, b/c he will be beaten handedly. It’s not what I would want, but it is reality.
Deportation!
