Ted Cruz Proposes Three-Year Ban on Refugees From Islamic State- and Al Qaeda-Controlled Countries, Refuses to Attack Trump
--
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz outlined Tuesday three pieces of legislation he thinks will keep Americans safe from threats by the Islamic State exploiting an influx of Syrian refugees â and dodged every opportunity to attack Donald Trump over GOP front-runner's widely derided plan to ban Muslims from entry to the U.S.
When asked about Trumpâs statement Monday calling for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States," the Texas senator said that he disagreed with that proposal but that he won't be an "ongoing theater critic" for every comment made by another presidential candidate.
"A lot of our friends here have encouraged me to criticize and attack Donald Trump, Iâm not interested in doing so," Cruz said. "But I believe we need a plan that is focused on the direct threat, and the threat we're facing is radical Islamic terrorism."

Way to go Cruz.
I am a Cruz guy, but I do think we should ban all immigrants from Muslim nations until such time as Jews and Christians are allowed to build churches and synagogues in Mecca.
He’s coming around. Good for him.
I’d be happy with an 18 month ban on Hussein and ValJar.
Ban Muslims until Jihad and Sharia are removed from Islam.
Good idea, but not long enough.
Until they’re defeated.
Yep. I said earlier that Cruz would come around to support Trump’s muzzie ban.
It’s like when Trump announced his illegal immigration agenda. NO ONE was on board then. But the public loved it. And so now Trump is once again directing the national conversation on muzzie terrorism.
It makes too much sense. It will never fly.
I like Trump’s plan. But am encouraged by Cruz’s.
He has had this position now for a few weeks. If this had been in place when the latest terrorist’s fiancée had tried to enter the country, it would have prevented her entry, and possibly the attack itself.
Make those plans permanent.
Close the damn door! We are cutting our own throats by allowing them in. They will all be automatic cover for the killers. Besides what do we do about the ones who come in and radicalize here? As Trump says...We need to get a damn handle on this mess!
If you officially allow Muslim terrorist into America, you are an accomplice to their crimes.
I would say at least 10 year moratorium on ALL immigration AND send ALL illegals and H1B’s home
Headline on Drudge:
Cruz now at the bottom of the pack.
That’s all of the Mideast Ted. Trump’s plan is the way to go.
That’s the way to do it.. make it a geographical restriction.
The problem is that these terrorist wannabees have infected so many countries. A complete ban is the only path that makes sense.
