He said his plan does not include Mr. Trump’s call to go “door to door” to root out illegal immigrants for deportation.
“We don’t live in a police state,” he said.
Thank God he’s paving the way for Trump.
“I intend to follow the law,†Mr. Cruz said.
Well, yeah I would hope so. Good luck with getting the bought off RINOS in congress to go along with your legislative agenda Ted if you indeed become president.
In other words, business as usual. Meh.
We already have a force to deport illegals - it’s called ICE.
E-verify has proven to be a joke. There's workarounds for both the "employee" and the employer. Of course, if you are suspected of being a legitimate citizen they demand proof.
Does Senator Cruz realize how some people live, with the threats they face? We don't have time as a nation to be nice about removing invaders.
My gosh, this sounds like GWB did before the election.
My bet is this is the week Cruz takes DT out in the debate.
Ted wants illegals to stay.
His enforcement method would take 1000 years to deport the millions of
illegals. He sounds like a democrat.
Thank God for Trump.
Good , he is showing his colors now.
You describe excellent fantasies.
Last week he was trying to out-Trump Trump and deport forever. Now, not so much.
Sounds like Walker at the end.
It does sound like Walker, at the end.
If you lose, do you agree to shut up about DT?
It’s a good sign that he’s ‘moving to the center’ to attract moderates!
I don’t think immigration is the right issue though. Moderates want very strict immigration enforcement.
Going to illegal immigrants’ doors and taking them into custody is quite acceptable. As it is for any criminal.
So, let me get this straight. Cruz doesn’t agree with Trump’s “stroke of the pen” solution Immigration reform? Tracking down illegals and deporting them would be equal to our being a police state?
Then, in the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Cruz dismisses Trump’s “police state†plan on deportations, Isara boastfully posts the following quote from Cruz,
“Stop the lawlessness: Shut down President Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty on day one. I will end the lawlessness with the stroke of a pen.”
And Cruz will implement this ending how? Talk about politispeak! Sheweeeeeee!
So, we’re to gather that Cruz’s “pen strokes on day one” would somehow be more effective than Trump’s. Okayyyyyyy!
Any executive action that Obama implemented with the stroke of a pen can be undone with the stroke of a pen. That Cruz will do on his first day in office. What Cruz will not do is unconstitutionally create new buearocracies to conduct massive immigration raids (which would violate the 4th Amendment rights of a whole bunch of citizens and legal permanent resident aiens) with the stroke of his pen.

Yes, please. Everyone should read Cruz’s plan. Then tell me where you’ve heard all of it before.
ICE needs to be about 3 times bigger just to deal with the criminal illegal aliens, 6 times bigger if we want to deport the rest.
If we show we are serious about enforcement, many will leave on their own.
