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.

Trump sounds like he’ll REMOVE the illegal element (oh, and a wall), Cruz will...?? Let them voluntarily return?
Now, if we could combine the Trump expel and the Cruz ‘no return’ (as if it were a smart idea to allow known law-breakers back IN), I’d be a happy camper.
Doesn't anyone care about the Fourth Amendment? FR used to be a bastion of conservatism. Where have they all gone?
Prohibit illegal immigrants from receiving financial benefits. On average, each household headed by an illegal immigrant in the United States receives over $14,000 in net government benefits per year, according to one study. This transfer of American taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants entices further illegal entry. Under a Cruz Administration, illegal immigrants will cease receiving government benefits.

I bet more people agree with you than you know.We are pissed with the gubmint destruction of the middle class.They can call us racist all they want and I just cant care any less.
JAKE TAPPER, CNN: How do you get the people who are already in here, out?"If I am elected president, I will enforce the law. Federal immigration law says, if we aprehend an individual who is here illegally, we will deport them." What kind of crazy talk is that?!?!?!?TED CRUZ: You put in place a strong E-Verify system, that means people can not get employment without proving they are here legally. You implement a strong biometric entry-exit system for visas, so that we know the instant someone overstays their visa. 40% of illegal immigrants are visa overstays.
JAKE TAPPER: I stilll don't understand, these people living in the shadows, operating under the radar, will you have a force that goes door to door, rounds them up, and deports them.
TED CRUZ: We have a deportation force, it is called border patrol and immigration/customs enforcement. Border patrol is at the border, ICE is at the interior, they are both law enforcement.
This shouldn't be an issue of debate...
The Constitution answers this. It says that the president must "take care that the laws are faithfully executed," that is a responsibility. When the president takes his oath of office, that is a promise to the American people.
What Barack Obama says is he doesn't care what federal law says, he will not enforce it.
If I am elected president, I will enforce the law. Federal immigration law says, if we aprehend an individual who is here illegally, we will deport them.
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?

Compare this to the genius of The Donald:
Trump: We're rounding them up in a very humane way, very nice way, and they're going to be happy because THEY want to be legalized.Pelley: What does that number look like to you? (How much it will cost to accomplish rounding up 11 million immigrants.)
Trump: It's going to work.
Pelley: How does that work?
Trump: Because they're going to come back. It's called, "management." ...We're gonna build a wall. We're going to create a border and it's going to be a great wall and it's not going to be very expensive.
Pelley: How are you going to build a wall that is cheap and impenetrable?
Trump: It'll be a real wall. It'll be a wall that works. It'll actually be a wall that will look good, believe it or not. Cause what they have now is a joke. They're ugly, little, and don't work.
How many Mickey Mouse excuses before we get it?
You have a selective memory.

You have quite an imagination.
Post a link of where Trump said this.
By the way, the Obama administration is doing this now.

“You have a selective memory.”
As does all the Trumpsters.
About half think Trump would make a great dictator.
For some reason we need a police state with Trump as our great leader.
It's a lot more efficient that way. E-verify, criminal (or traffic) apprehensions, raids on employers and raids on known colonias...eliminate the need (and expense) of going "door-to-door" -- which will never happen in a Trump administration, either.
There are better ways to "round them up."
Jake Tapper just did. That's who Cruz is responding to.
Look upthread.
“When did Trump ever say he would have a “deportation force” going “door to door”?”
Actually in many cases we do. Look at all the laws on the books any one of which can trap you and you break every day just out of ignorance. There are literally millions, federal, state and local. The original 10 were sufficient actually.
No, they would not get in line. Trump said they could come back on an expedited system. By all means, lets crap on the people who have waited for years and let those who disrespected our laws back in first.
He’s not talking about a NEW deportation force since we already have one and that article didn’t say anything about a new deportation force
Give me a break. Trump is pretty ignorant about this stuff and is just making it up as he goes.
cruz back tracking again i am afraid...i like (d) cruz...but his wife and her connections and now all of a sudden looks like gope is seeing him as only backstop to TRUMP and he is beginning to soften to middle????? hope not but he has had just enough of a taste of the “golden” govt / power hungry” water in washington....
