I'm not saying Cruz doesn't have an answer, but illegal immigration is not a gotcha question. Every candidate better be prepared to answer the question.

Agreed. I would add ... I also believe if you think it’s a gotcha question ... there’s something wrong w/ your answer.
He was asking him what he proposed to do with "the 11 million already here". That very much is a "gotcha" question (all the leftist MSM types are asking him exactly the same thing) - if he says deport them they run video of preteen illegals with flies in their noses. If he says let them stay he gets in trouble with his base.
What he did say is exactly the right answer - in effect, the problem will solve itself provided the roots causes are addressed, and without giving the left the chance for their usual demagoguery.
They don't like his avoiding their gotcha question, so they accuse him of "ducking" it.
