“This is a job interview, you need to be willing to answer the questions of the American people...”
That's not how Ted Cruz responded to Megyn Kelly and the American people at the last Fox News Debate.
When Megyn Kelly asked Cruz if he would deport the illegal immigrant parents of children born on USA soil, Cruz refused to answer. Cruz said that Kelly's question was a “distraction” from more important immigration issues.
I keep hoping Ted Cruz will go on TV and declare that all illegal immigrants must be deported, even illegal immigrants who have obeyed all other USA laws.
If someone has a video of Ted Cruz saying those exact words, I would very much like to watch it.
Full Disclosure:
(1) I cannot vote for Donald Trump. I don't believe his Conservative Conversion is real.
(2) I will reluctantly vote for Ted Cruz. Tragically, in his heart, I believe Ted Cruz is a George W. Bush Republican on the immigration issue, which should surprise no one, since Cruz helped GWB write his immigration platform in 1999-2000.
(3) My candidate is Rick Santorum. He has no chance. For the GOP nomination, or in the general election.
I understand your reservations and I applaud your clear thinking.
