Meet the Press host Chuck Todd spent several minutes Sunday morning trying to extract an answer from Senator and 2016 candidate Ted Cruz (R-TX) about what the Donald Trump-saluter proposed doing with the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country, and appeared very unhappy when he didn’t get one.

Just stop with the 11 million. It’s probably 30 million.
Todd was trying to corner Cruz and Cruz wouldn’t let him.
Add in the anchor babies and extended families they want to extend it too...50 million +
Build a wall.
Deport
No Amnesty.
Headline is BS ... he did give a very clear answer.
Trump will make them all disappear back to where they came from and make the Mexicans pay for it.
None are so deaf as those who will not hear.
Chuckie Todd was taken to school by Senator Cruz.
Todd learned from the man a million times smarter, that he will only answer suitable questions.
“My view is first we secure the borders and solve the problem of illegal immigration and then I think we can have a conversation about what to do with the people who remain here,”
That is code for AMNESTY. (As I have stated before)
Chuck Todd wasn’t interested in Cruz’s positions on immigration, all he wanted to do was go straight to the future issue, the most divisive portion, to keep from talking about today’s stage of the immigration problem, which is, first stop the flow.
Todd and the left want to block the first step, which is, cut off illegal immigration with the fence, and an end to all this Obama stuff, and they do that by always wanting to focus on the later debate, the emotion laden debate, of how to handle the illegals already here.
Cruz did great, let’s build this wall, and then we will discuss what comes next.
Boo-hoo. Todd never gets an answer to his ‘gotcha’ question.
Add the following: daily bed space rate for incarcerated illegals comes out of Mexican foreign aid.
Watched this. Katie failed. Chuck failed. Both are in big trouble with the folks in the Democrat war room just off camera who kept yelling “keep hammering him on the 11 million.
Real headline: Chuck Todd Fails DNC/NBC Executives - Unable to Corner Cruz in Gotcha Journalism Attempt.
Chuck needs to interrogate Mexico’s Preezy and find out when Mexico is going to straighten up.
Hire Trump as the Border Tsar.
Cruz handled it beautifully...as he always does.
Reminds me of the Cruz / Katie Couric interview. Every time he began to give a cogent response to her question, she’d cut him off mid-sentence and claim he wasn’t answering it, when in fact he wasn’t answering it the way she liked.
The answer is simple:
1. As new criminals are apprehended crossing the border or already in our country illegally, give them immediate deportation hearings with full due process. If they have not applied for refugee status or political asylum, the presumption should be that they have no lawful claim to either. Deport all illegals who are apprehended before the end of the next work day, unless they are able to convince a skeptical court otherwise.
2. For illegals who have an official ID with an address, check that address for them. If they are there, arrest them. If they are not living at that address, then they have lied on an official document. Flag their ID and arrest them the next time they use it. Either way, deport them after a fair hearing.
3. Offer a bounty on illegals. If someone reports an illegal, the illegal’s assets will be confiscated up to the cost of deportation, plus a reasonable bounty for the crime-stopper who assisted with the rule of law. The remaining assets will be sent to the illegal’s home government to be disbursed at their discretion. See how many criminals go home quickly because they don’t trust their own government with their money and want to take it home themselves.
4. Vigorous employment law enforcement: If you have employees working below minimum wage for that job, or if you have a contractor charging less than minimum wage to provide workers, you know or should know that the law is being broken. Employers collaborating in that crime should be charged as much as current law permits.
5. In any case, illegals should be fingerprinted, photographed, DNA swabbed (both ID and criminal investigation), and retina scanned, to make sure they can never reenter legally and never access any path to citizenship.
I imagine once the criminals discover that there is no profit in being here illegally and that there is a permanent penalty, the vast majority will self-deport. I’m okay with that.
