Why then does he speak of "reducing the attractions of entering and staying in the country"?
Why then does he speak of actions like workplace enforcement, withdrawing federal benefits and birthright citizenship?
Why then did he make illegals an economic issue, because they take jobs away from, or constrain the wages of, American citizens? Wouldn't you agree that this issue cannot be addressed by leaving the illegals in place?
It is true that Cruz has adopted a "first things first" approach to the illegal alien problem. Secure the border. And eliminate the attractions. But isn't that the kind of focus we need on the problem -- a fundamental objective that every serious person can agree with?
However, what you are contending is a total misrepresentation. I'm supporting Cruz...but I would support Trump if he's the nominee. And, while I question some of Trump's statements and positions, I have never knowingly misrepresented him.
Let's respect each other. And each other's candidate.
If Cruz gets nominated I will vote for him but I have little fait in his ability to get rid of the illegals. His donors are big Wall street guys who want the border left open. Ted Cruz will likely only give token effort at securing the border. There will be no wall that I am sure of.
Why wouldn’t I want the guy who swears to Budhha he’s going to build a wall and round up and deport?
