“Cruz, meanwhile, doesn’t back amnesty for illegal aliens—he refuses to have any establishment media created debate about what to do with illegal aliens until the border is finally secured...”
“refuses to have any establishment media created debate”?
That is contrived nonsense to evade a commitment, take a stand. It is amnesty, slow motion.
I bet if Cruz said “Deport them immediately!” before the border was secured, you’d be all for that. I bet you’d think it was the greatest thing in the world to do.
So why don’t you ask the family of Kate Steinle if Cruz saying this would make them feel better? After all, the guy who killed her was deported MULTIPLE times. But due to an unsecured border, the guy kept sneaking back into the country. He kept getting deported and breaking back in.
For people with logical reasoning skills, the first idea MUST be to secure the border and plug the hole, then you can have a debate on what to do with those already here. Cruz is on record as being a proponent of enforcing the current laws on the books, ending sanctuary cities, and strengthing E-verify programs. All of this has the intention of eliminating whatever economic benefits there are with people who overstay their welcome so that there is no incentive to stay.
