Cruz's rhetoric about a conversation is maddeningly insulting.
If Cruz cannot state in simple terms, at his various rallies, that the vast majority of illegals must be deported then he does not warrant support. On this issue, I find him more often than not using the rhetoric of beltway politicians.
If Cruz cannot see that American CITIZENS are red-hot angry over illegal immigration then he deserves to stay at the bottom.
Trump's plan on illegal immigration only mentions deportation once and that's about deporting the criminals.
Cruz will never give a straight answer on this because his campaign strategy is built on getting Hispanics to vote for him.
His campaign people have stated this on the record.
He’s for amnesty lite but has tricked a lot of conservatives to think that he isn’t.
Cruz himself says his general election strategy is based on Hispanics:

Obviously he’s not going to deport the invaders.
