“Cruz is willing to consider legal status for illegals but only when conservatives are in power.”
You seem to COMPLETELY write-off the demographic effect of this. Like it or not, this country is about 50/50 Dem/Republican. Throw in 30,000,000 people from the Third world, WHO WILL HAVE KIDS, and the country becomes 60/40 Democrat, with NO HOPE of having any meaningful opposition.
That means the following:
1) The Supreme Court becomes a RUBBER STAMP for the Democrats. The Second Amendment is history. And that means people like me, in Texas, will have to turn in our guns.
2) The country basically becomes a BASKET CASE, just like Venezuela is now - that country has the LARGEST OIL RESERVES in the world and they are about to start food rationing.
3) The ability to speak freely in opposition to the government simply ENDS, just as is the case in much of Europe, particularly Scandinavia. Like the Second Amendment, the First Amendment means whatever the Democrats want it to mean, since they control the Courts and the government.
4) Then things get really bad, as in energy and food shortages, Mexican-style gangs kidnapping and torturing unarmed Americans, and then currency collapse. Not to mention not having a military anymore.
5) Then maybe after all that, some of the immigrants get fed up with the Democrats, and try to oppose them. Maybe they can provide a credible opposition - but it doesn’t really matter much, we will be THIRD WORLD, at best. And the voting systems will likely be even more rigged than they are now.
All of the above will be completed in about 2 generations - we’ll be ok, but our kids will suffer when they’re old, and our grandkids will suffer through it for much of their lives.
That seems to be the future that TED CRUZ WANTS for this country, if I’m understanding his words correctly (and, actually, this is the first time I’ve heard those words). Talking about DEMOGRAPHICS is not pretty, but it is the ONLY THING that is separating us from becoming like Latin America. If we choose to go that path...there will be NO OTHER OUTCOME. Argentina was a FIRST WORLD country early in the 20th century, before their demographics overwhelmed them...and they continue to sink even further.
Also keep in mind that the Democrats still have to actually win elections now, as the country is still 50/50 - they CANNOT do anything close to what they want to do - not even close. Read THEIR MATERIALS, read their dreams and goals for this country, when they don’t think you’re looking, go to their “teach-ins” - then you will understand what they have in store for us. Once the Dems don’t have to worry about elections, dealing with the Courts, having a Republican House - they WILL take that path, as people of that mindset have done in EVERY COUNTRY when they achieve undisputed power. They have no choice but to oppress, and oppress FIERCELY, as people would otherwise not tolerate the deplorable conditions that this country will become.
So, I’m against Ted Cruz’s plan - but I LOVE him otherwise.

Is there some reason you need to be so crazy?
WHERE IS CRUZ SAYING HE WILL ALLOW 30,000,000 TO ENTER THE USA?
How about toning it down apiece and writing something worth digesting? I couldn’t get past the first few sentences of your insane rant. Now answer the question in caps above and say your sorry.
