Ted Cruz: ‘I Salute Donald Trump’ for Speaking Out on Immigration
mediaite.com ^ | 7/3/15 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 07/04/2015 6:17:06 AM PDT by cotton1706

Slowly but surely, some of Donald Trump‘s Republican rivals have come out to condemn his remarks about Mexican immigrant rapists and criminals. George Pataki got the ball rolling this week, and criticisms by Rick Perry, Marco Rubio, and others followed.

But Ted Cruz––who defended Trump earlier this week––is still praising him. In a Meet the Press preview clip out tonight, Cruz told Chuck Todd,”I like Donald Trump. He’s bold, he’s brash.”

He refused to get caught in a bout of Republican infighting. When Todd asked him if “rhetoric matters,” Cruz said, “I salute Donald Trump for focusing on the need to address illegal immigration. The Washington cartel doesn’t want to address that.”

Heavy blows to his credibility. I expect forthright answers from him. I think there’s a better chance he’ll give that kind of answer than there is with most others.

ICE didn’t release a breakdown of criminal offenses of the new 30,000 on Wednesday, but among the 36,000 released in 2013 were 193 homicide convictions, 426 sexual assault convictions, 303 kidnapping convictions and 16,070 convictions for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

ICE has now released the list for 2014

They continue to release murderers, kidnappers, sex criminals, and drunk drivers into the American populace either because their home countries won't take them back, or just cause the treasonous bastards in this Administration said so.

And they released even more last year?

How the hell is all hell not breaking loose?

This is insane, the apparatchiks and the politicians and judges responsible for this need to go to jail.

START IMMIGRATION REFORM BY CATCHING THESE MF’S AND SENDING THEM BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

Their countries don’t want them back, TOO DAMN BAD.

This is impeachable.

Republicans in Congress have proposed rewriting the law to allow for longer detention of serious criminals, and have called on the Obama administration to use existing powers to deny visas to leaders of countries that refuse to take their citizens back.

But the administration has declined to take those steps.

Those released from custody are generally supposed to be monitored, and Ms. Saldana vowed to stiffen those procedures to try to ensure those that are released are not able to commit new crimes.

The RIGHT WING needs to take matters in hand.

The marxists in DC have now elected to dispatch a LEGION OF ILLEGAL ALIEN MURDERERS, KIDNAPPERS, SEX CRIMINALS, AND DRUNK DRIVERS INTO THE AMERICAN POPULACE.

This cannot stand, these are not your standard illegal aliens, these are HARD CORE FELONS, and their release into the populace undermines the HUSSEIN Administrations narrative that they are going to grant amnesty to garden variety ILLEGAL ALIENS to concentrate on “criminals”

This is a goddamned CPUSA conspiracy, the CPUSA is in control of DHS.

Those responsible must be brought to justice.

The CPUSA controlled HUSSEIN BARAKA ADMINISTRATION wages war against REAL AMERICANS on a daily basis on an unlimited number of fronts.

They time release of damaging information to coincide with other world events in order to deflect attention.

THESE 150,000 MURDERERS, KIDNAPPERS, SEX CRIMINALS, AND DRUNK DRIVERS NEED TO BE HUNTED DOWN LIKE DOGS AND EXPELLED!!!!!!

Is THIS what you mean by saying “good things”....

TRUMP to Fox News in May “ also harbors doubts about Cruz’s eligibility to be president, asserting that the Lone Star Republican has “a hurdle that nobody else seems to have at this moment.”

I don’t know.

I just think their relationship is currently mutual.

Not really following it that closely, if anyone knows, please post.

Thanks.

I am, look at post 26. It’s not mutual. Let me paraphrase what Cruz could say (but is too classy to do so)

“Donald was a Democrat til 2009 - that’s a hurdle no one else has.

I just think the winner should be someone who’s been a conservative all their adult life.

I don’t think a big contributor to the corrupt Clinton Foundation is what we need in the White House...

....and so on. You’re barking up the wrong tree here.

I agree that the H1 visa is a debatable issue, and I also know that we do not need H1 visas as there is no shortage of skilled Americans.

However, do NOT conflate what is a debatable issue subject to the legislative processes of pass/fail with the illegal alien problem.

If the people through their elected representatives stupidly accept H1 visas, well suck it up. But illegal immigration, and the non-enforcement that lets it happen are legal and constitutional abominations. So don’t try to make Cruz look like the other Republican toadies because of his stand on H1 visas.

Cruz and Trump are out there on the ramparts trying to stop the illegal invasion. No one else is. Stop trying to justify your support for Jeb Bush and the other RINOs by playing the game that Cruz is also for immigration lawbreaking like them.

Cruz could have been a hero if he had stopped the Treason treaty and giving a dangerous Soros radical unlimited power.

But he help ram it thru with Paul Amnesty Ryan because they sold us out to K street and H1 Visas Billionaire crowd.

We DONT need any foreigners stealing American jobs our children and friends need jobs not India or China foreigners willing to work for peanuts.

Now we have 25 million foreigners with US jobs and 95 US million citizens are unemployed thanks to this foreign H1 visas and other foreign labor scams!

Cruz is trying to Gain momentum using Trumps tough talk.

But Cruz sold out our country to K street .

Please note the entire on Gop all hide from the cameras in DC when Barry the
Soros puppet bragged on TV about his new Fast Track Unlimited Power !

“Someone is going to score with this topic, big time. I am not year clear, which side it will be.”

Completely agree.

Globalism is my #1 issue. I do not have a #2. Fully-realized globalism means the end of self-government here (and everywhere else).

I have even considered voting for Sanders if the GOP nominates a globalist - that’s how strongly I feel about it.

What this sorry episode (the attacks on Trump by GOP wannabes) reveals is that most of our would-be leaders prefer lying to the truth. From Santorum on Bruce Jenner to Rubio and Perry on Trump, they tell lies to our faces and don’t believe will will notice, or care.

Good for Ted Cruz, for being honest. I don’t think he’s electable, but he did good here.

Who wants that village idiot Jeb Bush !

Jeb is another stupid DC insider clown but not a very clever one.
Cruz could have been a hero BUT Sold Out to the K street and Wall Street !

Do you think we need more H1 Visas for Cruz's Semiconductor billionaire donors in Austin ?

No, we need to demand American first .

There is no labor shortage but we have 25 million foreigners taking American jobs.

Enough with the H1 visas Con Artist scam.

I am not fooled by Cruz trying to jump on the Trump bandwagon.

The DC Gop elites know the Gop base hates this illegal alien invasion that is why they ram thru Fast track so Barry the soros puppet had the power to unleash the K street street Amnesty invasion and the Gop can blame a retiring Left wing President.

The Gop will be toast in 2016 thanks to the disastrous treaty and Cruz and the rest know it that is why they hid last week when Barry was celebrating his new unlimited power ! I am tired of the games being played by the DC GOP. Trump is gaining support because he said SCREW IT ALL and STOP Barry the America hater from getting Fast track power and stop the Future DEM voter invasion from overseas .

He gave 100K to Clinton Foundation numerous smaller donations to many Dems-has a long D voting record.
However, he many pivot to the right and mean it. He is almost 70 and may want to leave a legacy of principle, who knows?
With him at least we don’t have the level of deception the RINOS are dishing out.
I don’t think he will go after Cruz after this series of attacks. It will be an unspoken truce.
Maybe after the Soros Globalists continue to target Trump he will be without mercy on blocking left-wing policies.

I wrote to Cruz about the H1-B visa issue. He is a reasonable person. I f others will also let him know their objections, he may reevaluate his position.

you totally missed my point......I was simply pointing out that Cruz had openings and has not taken them. Trump saw the birther opening and took it.

And I am not sure I agree with the unspoken truth. In fact, I seriously doubt it. It will play out differently.

Because these alien criminals are not targeting black people?

A breakdown of the race of the victims might be instructive

I want more H1-Bs. I want fewer illegals. Good companies will move overseas where they can get all the talent they want if the H1-B goes away.
