Cruz- "Deport criminal immigrants: Recommit the federal government to deporting all illegal immigrants who commit crimes - and make use of all available tools to deport criminal immigrants as quickly as possible."
Does that include all the other border jumpers Ted, or only illegals who only commit robbery and murder? So is Ted going to send all the illegal border crossers home? Not there - not the ones who primarily come across the southern border. I don't see it.
Trump - "Detention-not catch-and-release. Illegal aliens apprehended crossing the border must be detained until they are sent home, no more catch-and-release. "
Trump uses specificity and he is to the point while Cruz uses overt verbosity. Trump is sending them back home.
Cruz again - "Stop criminal immigrants. Peaceful, law-abiding immigrants will be welcomed in the United States, but criminal immigrants will not receive quarter. "
So we see Cruz say only "peaceful immigrants" and he doesn't differentiate if they came here illegal. Default amnesty for the "peaceful" and if they don't break the law. Cheap labor for his big backers as long as they stay "peaceful" inside the United States.
Law-abiding immigrants = legal immigrants. If they aren’t legal they are illegal.
Now, has he been clearly stating he intends to deport them all? The courts will assure that such can't be done in any practical way unless they WANT to leave. Trump gives them a reason to leave, because they'll get to come back, which is what he says he wants.
Meanwhile you say NOTHING about the content of what Trump has said or has been cited here. You are in denial sir.
