If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
CRUZ or LOSE!They are going to use the illegal immigration issue to drive a wedge through the Republican electorate. They want a large enough number to be so dispirited that they refuse to vote. I say, don’t let them push your buttons and act like an all emotions and no rational thought DemonRAT.
All Republicans should support a total closing of the border with the best technology and troops. They should demand that those who are in the United States had better follow our laws.
If I made policy, I would deport all those who commit a felony. Why should our tax dollars support their incarceration? That is money out of our pockets plus the jobs they took away from the good, law-abiding citizens. Those who rack up a certain number of crimes should also be deported. Why should we let them bleed us of the cost of incarceration when deportation would end the cost of their serial lawbreaking? I say three strike and you’re out!
I would end the citizen by birth babies under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The time of slavery, for which this amendment was made, has long gone. No one should use this tactic to gain citizenship for a child—and the rest of the family.
It is clear the Cruz supports amnesty, that is allowing illegal aliens now in the US to stay. He couldn’t be much this past week. I call it amnesty, he calls it legalization, saying amnesty involves giving path to citizenship. BS. Any reward of illegal activity is amnesty. Cruz risks creating a mockery of his credibility by arguing the definition of “is”. In unfortunate reality, his stance is really no different than Walker, Bush, and others.
The people here, me included, want to hear the word DEPORT. We simply won’t be hearing that...none of the major candidates has used that word. Instead we’re left with different levels of legalization (either by stating you won’t deport, or by going a step further and handing out work permits, or next by green cards, or finally by “the path”).
Cruz is clear that he won’t go past the “work permit” stage...and it’s still arguable whether he’ll even go that far. That still puts him to the right of Scott Walker and way to the right of just about every other candidate.
So, given everything else he’s done, and the fact that about 94 other Senators hate his guts, I’m still with him, totally!
CRUZ or LOSE!FYI. . . .
When you are a legislator and you don’t have the votes to stop a bad bill, you sometimes have to offer amendments to strip out some of the worst provisions, while leaving others intact. That will be spun by opponents, who never have to make those choices and therefore can claim to be ideologically pure, as “supporting” the bill. That’s what GOA does to the NRA all the time, claiming that they “wrote” this or that gun control bill, when they opposed it but offered amendments. That said, all of these candidates need to clearly say what we need to do now. If that means securing the border and enforcing the current law then evaluating what to do about those here once that done, I’m OK with that.
Thank you. The Left and the GOP will be publishing LIES about whatever candidate they deem a danger to their goal of having a Dem win. The GOP want to run a weak, ineffectual candidate and have the Dems win, the Dems don’t care who they run, as long as the Dems win.
I refuse to let them choose my candidate again! Join me in rejecting them.
