Cruz Wants To Send Syrian Refugees Already Here Home: Plan Tougher Than Trump?
International Business Times ^ | January 8, 2016 | Cristina Silva

Posted on 01/08/2016 8:48:41 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz appears to be trying to beat Donald Trump at his own game. Amid growing anti-Muslim rhetoric from Trump and other Republican presidential candidates, Cruz introduced his new far-right position on Syrian refugees already in the U.S.: Send them home.

After two terror suspects with links to the Islamic State group were arrested in California and Texas this week, Cruz said Thursday the Obama administration should suspend the resettlement of Syrian refugees and other terrorist-controlled territories and undertake a retroactive assessment of all refugees who have arrived from those "high-risk countries." He also blamed Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, Obama's former secretary of state, for the alleged Syrian refugee threat, the Austin American-Statesman reported.

The arrests "underscore the profound danger that is facing this country from radical Islamic terrorism. And these arrests underscore how utterly indefensible President Obama and Hillary Clinton's proposal is to bring tens of thousands of Syrian refugees into the country," Cruz said....

I listened to Rubio yesterday while he was on the stump, and read some Huckabee. They seemed all trying to sound like Trump. LoL.

Reporter: this is not a game.

All this is just politics and pc bullcrap.

It is not a game.

Trump should get rid of all these muslims obama has brought over on purpose to inflate their presence here.

We have imported more than 4 million Muslims, primarily from the middle east and north Africa since 2001. Why?

Now 4 weeks later Cruz says it and that it was his ideal all along.

Maybe you should take that into consideration when you vote. Oh, wait... we don't get to vote to pick the candidate.

Because the more of these 'refugees' that we import, the more our country has to spend on taking care of them, or/and fighting them. That means we have to 'borrow' more money from the Federal Reserve (original name- The Third National Bank).

The whole point is that we must pay interest on every bit we borrow, and there is no limit to what we can borrow.

So... anything that can be done to make the US spend more (and it's not just the US, the bankers are doing this to many countries, like Germany) will be done, regardless to US law, the Constitution, or whomever is President.

Of course the President can try and stop this. He won't survive if he does. Many others tried, they were killed.

Bonus Round: Does anyone know how many US Presidents were assassinated over the fight between the US having it's own currency/bank versus the US borrowing money from private bankers (The Federal Reserve) ?

....”Cruz was saying things like this while Don Trump was still doing Celebrity Apprentice.”......

Yes he was......but Trump supporters choose to believe whatever Trumps ‘says’ is so because he’s saying it.

Cruz wouldn’t do any of this if elected.

My suspicion is that Neither CRUZ nor TRUMP will be allowed to do this(if elected).

If you don't think that both sides have a tendency to do that, you are only fooling yourself.

That is VERBATIM, Jo. ‘That is not my policy.’

This man & his supporters have no shame. (They clearly don’t fear God, either.)

I’m very comfortable with my choice to support Cruz....not because of what he says in his run, but because I followed him long before he announced and did plenty of homework to know where he has stood throughout his life.

Most politicians and leaders know they need to be careful about their resources and what they present. Their data and various other items relating to issues needs to be authentic as possible. Trump doesn’t substantiate what he’s saying, and is known not to do so, he simply speaks whatever the moment might call for from whatever news or social media is feeding him....this coupled with what he knows from his business dealings.....he’s been wrong many times, called on it, then resorts to his ever flowing word salads which he bends over top of each other in order to avoid answering what he well knows he cannot.

That very thing will be his undoing in time.....we better just hope he flames out ‘in the Primary’ because if he wins and goes onto the General.....Hillary and Billy will be sitting in the Whitehouse yet again.......they and the Demorats haven’t even begun to show what they’ll have and use to destroy Trump.....

I'm sorry, not sure I understood that. Could you explain it at a 6th grade level? I'm a product of public education after all.

Both have sane thoughts on most issues.

While I prefer Cruz, I would settle for Trump without feeling like I had to settle much.

Appreciate articles that bolster one candidate or the other and open the door for contemplation.

Since so many try to tell us how Trump, Cruz, or both would be a disaster, I've taken to making fun of their "logic" rather than pushing one over the other.

Gotta have fun while the time is ripe...

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other who enjoys the fruits of others' work for your own benefit.

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

As usual with Cruz, better late than never. But glad he’s now on board!

Trouble is since he flipped to Trump's position just recently, he may flop back the other way just as easily...
