We can assume Jennifer Rubin is wrong, as usual. She wouldn’t have a job at the WaPo if she were a conservative.
One would expect there are countless H1B opinion-writing candidates capable of at least the same level of swill. Media conglomerates should consider the savings available by replacing the “talents” of Rubin with the more talented Sami, or d’Estebrun or Esperanza.
No argument on that fact, and with all due respect, that has nothing to do with the fact that he said one thing and now says something else.
This line or reasoning leads to holding no one accountable for anything.
The subject is Cruz and H!-B’s.
The only way to get at anything resembling truth is to look at each individual politician and their positions in isolation, otherwise no words mean anything at all.
He at one time espoused a position that to ME renders ANYONE completely unqualified for president and something that while not technically a traitor is for all practical purposes just as heinous in my opinion.
The question is the sincerity with which he holds his new position and his intent to act upon it; I regard this as a absolutely central indicator of if he really is going to work for the American people or the rich international corporations that know no allegiance or morality.
Nothing he said was incorrect or inconsistent, at any point (although he could have been more specific in one statement). We need more of the high-end types incoming - educated, professional, established, innovative, etc The day laborers, and the welfare dependents, and the sick, and the murderers and the rapists, not so much. Give us tons more of the former, and do our best to get rid of the latter. Invite and encourage the ones who make America greater, and discourage and deport those who take or or damage. Is it really that difficult to understand?
Yes you should. He is. But then they all are. No one will deport 12 million people, it is not fiscally possible.It would be a night mare. Ted wants to get elected and I will vote for him, but no, he is not being honest.
There are three easy steps that do not require a new mass of law enforcement and Cruz has stated the same”
1. Initiate the defunct D-Verify.
2. Penalize employers for hiring illegals.
3. Either eliminate or substantially reduce welfare for illegals.
They will get their butts back home by themselves. Only cost to tax payers is the E-Verify system. #2 and 3 actually save money.
Illegals can self deport or go to jail. It’s really that simple.
WaPo GOPe screed writer Jennifer Rubin has no concerns about a potential touchback amnesty form millions.
As he’s a politician, yes.
For me I am not assuming anything. The issue just needs to be settled once and for all. Rubin hates both Trump and Cruz.
I don’t know if it originated with him, but he’s said it. It probably originated in the second world war.
The fact is, that statement is full of crap and would only be believed by an idiot.
Just because people are criticizing you does not mean you are right and only a moron would think so.
Yeah yeah yeah
You trump bots are just as bad as the Obama worshippers. Well be hearing about people fainting at his rallys soon.
I don’t care for Trump much, either.
Cruz is overall OK, but the H1-B thing is near treason, he’s a lying prevaricator and his dishonesty is a slap in the face or at least a reason to trust him no further than I would any other politician of either party. He still might be arguably the most credibly conservative politician running.
Throw then ALL out, H1-B or the guy who just snuck across the Rio Grand, not one damned cent to any illegal nor one green card until every last veteran has a house and healthcare.
I agree, but I am not sure that is as much a difference as Mr. Cruz would have us believe. Anyone of the candidates could enforce the law and most likely will. I will gladly vote for Mr. Cruz (my senator) when the time comes. But he is a politician and no outsider, in that he is very disingenuous.
Not that simple. There will be due process (not because they are citizen, but because they are in our country). It is not nearly as simple as that.
My senator too and I do not think Washington DC considers him an insider. Besides, when I an traversing thru a minefield I want a guide that knows how to navigate thru it and not a bull in a china closet that just says “run like hell”, pointing across the field and cheering me on.
My own opinion is that he is an insider, just not one that is liked very much. Ted is a good man and a worthy person to support, but he is not that different than what we have. That is my fear. But support him I will as yoda would say. I am not a Trump fan, but he does seem to be the one less affected by the political trips of D.C.
