Creating a contrast with Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz ruled out the use of a new federal "deportation force" to seek and deport illegal immigrants.
-snip-
JAKE TAPPER: I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but it is a simple question, yes or no. Will you have people going door to door rounding people up?
TED CRUZ: We don't have any system that knocks door to door every person in America, that is not how the American law enforcement system works... We don't live in a police state. We do have law enforcement, how do we catch people? We catch them through things ike E-verify, we catch them through things like the criminal law enforcment system.

When did Trump ever say he would have a “deportation force” going “door to door”?
Are these American citizens? No?
Then round them up. Are we also testy when they raid and cart off terrorist suspects?
“We catch them through things ike E-verify, we catch them through things like the criminal law enforcment system.”
We can pretend like these people have no brains and wont find work-arounds?
Business as usual.
Cruz:
“We don’t have any system that knocks door to door every person in America...”
Going door to door to every person in America looking for illegals?
I want to ask, who has suggested any such thing? Is Cruz trying to imply that someone has called for that?
But police did go from door to door in Boston looking for the terrorists.
“Will you have people going door to door rounding people up? “
That’s what they actually did, you clown. INS has been knocking on doors and deporting since the 80’s. This aint the Ted Cruz I knew 6 months ago.
You have a selective memory.
No but we WILL live in one if you get your pals a way to stay Senator Cruz.
Isn’t there already an existing force that does this? I don’t recall Trump saying he’s going to create a new deportation force - only to expand existing one
I like a deportation force. It’s a fine idea. Pretty much like Eisenhower used in the Southwest USA in the 1950s under Operation Wetback. Same as Mexico uses today on its southern border. We need to turn the Border Patrol loose, engage regular law enforcement in the states and build the fence. Cut off all federal funding to so-called “sanctuary cities.” And we can do without 99% of all H1B visas too (I’d make an exception for Einstein). Once the process gets started then we get on to visa overstays, etc. Dead stop on muslim immigration should likely be made permanent policy, as islamic religious law (aka sharia) is incompatible with our constitution and laws (see the precious separation of church and state that our liberal colleagues so love).
Situation ethics. The foundation of the left.
We’ve already got a “deportation force” but Obama won’t let them do their jobs. Let’s get back to enforcing the law before adding more people to the federal payroll.
That sums it up.
“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.”

What’s the difference?? Except Ted won’t let any back in.
Seems like picking nits.
They also went door to door in Ca.
He’s waffling here...not good if he wants the nomination.
“We don’t have any system that knocks door to door”
Actually, I *WANT* a force that KNOCKS, door to door.
What I also want to hear is, “We’re here to Ernesto Abdul Wang. Are they here? Thank you sir/madam”.
Mr. Cruz, what we have in a police state, is the no-knock warrants in the (illegal) ‘War on Drugs’, alimony payments, and overdue library books....aka on the smallest of charges for NO reason.
Damn skippy I want the ILLEGALS dealt with!
Not the end of the world if they go door-to-door, or equivalent, although it will mean that my wife will need to keep her passport card with her, as she’s from halfway around the world and has a strong accent.
She’s down for that, if it saves the country from a Democrat takeover.
