Good find by BuzzFeed, where Ted Cruz tells a questioner that the difference between he and Trump on illegal immigration is that, while they both will deport illegals, Trump will let them back into the country and he will not:
The Texas senator, who is leading the field of Republican presidential candidates in Iowa according to the latest polls, was asked by a man in the state if, like Trump, he believed that all undocumented immigrants should be deported.
Cruz replied, "Absolutely yes."
"And in fact, look, there's a difference," said Cruz. "He's advocated allowing folks to come back in and become citizens. I oppose that."

Isn't that letting them back in? Trump says the "good ones" can come back in. I say there ARE no "good ones." I like Trump, but I don't like his stance on this. Very smart of Cruz to pounce on it. I hope Trump changes his mind about it.
So?
I think that if Trump 1. builds the wall, and 2. sends the illegals home, that most people won’t really care if some of them, e.g. people who were brought in as kids and otherwise stayed out of trouble, are allowed back in if they have a means of self-support.
Trump has talked endlessly about a wall with a great, big, wide, open beautiful door to let back in everyone but the convicts and identified potential terrorists. It’s amazing the way that Trump fans only hear what they want .
Cruz won’t deport them so they are already and still here under him. Cruz has only committed to deporting illegals that are convicted of a crime here and anchor babies get to stay.
Trump will deport them all and anchor babies, and the only possible way back is legally applying.
Plus Muslims are banned from entering under Trump.
Cruz has a ways to go to catch up to Trump on this issue, a long ways.
Oh, NOW he won’t. Right.
This shows a GOPe coordination with Cruz - both talking the same crap. “Surging Ted” is getting desperate.

Is this the same Ted Cruz who still refuses to enunciate a plan on what he will do with illegal aliens currently in the country?
How does he make this leap when he doesn’t have the spine to kick them out in the first place?
Your statement is false. Cruz says that all illegals are to be deported upon contact with law enforcement or government agencies. All government agencies are supposed to work together to deport illegals, but that has not been happening. That’s going to change.
Cruz is also supporting legislation to ban all immigration from countries (currently 34 countries), that have active terrorists cells.
The idea of letting “the good ones” back in as Trump advocates is insane. We spend billions deporting them and then Trump wants to spend billions more expediting them back in. Yes, he said they could re enter through an expedited process. If they have to be deported, they are criminals and they should not be allowed back into this country.
Cruz has a very clear plan for deporting illegals. Take some time out from the wrestling promoters side show and get informed.
If someone applies for immigration and a green card, how exactly does Ted plan on keeping them out? Oh yeah he’ll put their names on a list....which of course will change with the next democrat pres.
I stand with Ted but sometimes he )like Trump) says dumb things
Suggest everyone take a deep breadth, there is still a long road ahead to the nomination.
PING!!!
I have a question, why does Cruz go to the border and hand out ‘Teddy Bears and Soccer balls’ with Glen Beck to illiegal immigrant children? Why does Cruz say that ‘he’ll have Trump build the wall’??? Why does Cruz take Sessions and says ‘Sessions can build the wall’????
Cruz is the 3 year Jr. Senator from Texas, why hasn’t he built the wall? The laws are already there to do so? What has been stopping Cruz from doing this?
Cruz waited until he seen the build up for Trump, then he decided this is what he wanted...: ‘Me2Ted’; ‘Copy Cat Ted’....
If your in Texas, and a sitting Senator do something instead of being an ‘opportunist’ like George Bush called him....
GO. TRUMP. GO...Build the Wall!!!
Why bother? Cruz hired a bunch of neocons to run his campaign, and he already blew it on legal & illegal immigration. No sale.
Where has Cruz said he will deport all illegal aliens? It is not on his website. You have a video of him saying he will deport all illegal aliens? How about anchor babies?
If Cruz publicly says he will deport all illegal aliens and anchor babies and not let them back in to US, I will post the thread on it and give him credit for it. This “the law will be enforced” does not cut it!
Thanks for the ping.
Liked how he turned away while the guy was still talking to him. Like I said what I said, that’s it.
I hope the video goes viral and played by all the networks, then we can see how Ted reacts to it.
Does Ted know he is being recorded here? Maybe, maybe not!
I look forward to Ted publicly stating he will deport all illegal aliens including anchor babies, but will he?
he can fight. and he should. but he’s wrong. Trump says repeatedly that anyone can come back in legally. Is Ted saying his own H1B or other measures are letting illegals in?
