actually Ted Cruz is not an anchor baby at all..

Considering Ted received Canadian citizenship as well, he's an anchor baby.

A LITTLE COMMON SENSE FROM AN OLD COWBOY . . .

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered . . . not yelled.
Meanness don’t jes’ happen overnight.
Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.
* Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You cannot unsay a cruel word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
* The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.
Don’t judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life . . . Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
Don ‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t bothering you none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
* The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin’.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.
If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around . . .
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
* Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

I thought it was odd enough that Ted was saying Heidi was criticizing him for not getting their health insurance taken care of. I was already thinking Heidi must think she's some sort of princess.

Now it turns out Ted is saying "yes dear" when Heidi says "Hey Ted. Pack my suitcase after you get done helping the kids with their homework. And get me a sandwich."

Trump claims he wants to deport illegals and then bring them right back in.

That is not accurate. In this country before Obama everyone was supposed to follow the rule of law. People who came here illegally or have overstayed their visas need to leave now according to the law. If they come back legally they are no longer illegal. As a republic we need to have control of our borders and we need to enforce our existing laws.

My wife has been going to a Vietnamese “nail salon” for ten years. Each of her friends there had to wait for years, some of them in terrible conditions before they were able to come to this country. They are very offended that there are millions of people who have just ignored the rule of law and are here illegally.

The illegals need to go. All that needs to happen to get them to go is to start enforcing the laws that penalize those who hire them for anything. A few employers paying big fines and going to jail and the work for illegals will dry up and they will mostly leave on their own. It is not rocket science.

IMHO his supporters have been belligerent. I’d support Cruz if he had a chance, but he doesn’t.

Don’t take The Donald literally. He has quite a few positions he will be negotiating and dealing from on illegal immigration and building walls/fences all cross the Mexican border. Trump has made it clear where he stands on open borders and traitorous “free trade” deals such as the current TPP.

Just think of him as an enlightened rogue

Fireman15 you state the case for enforcing the immigration laws very effectively. Personally I find it amazing that anyone could disagree with you.

Trump has stated that he would put a “big, beautiful door” in the wall he proposes, and after deporting the illegals he would then bring “the good ones” back in. I understand that to be touchback amnesty.

Do you see it differently?

Because they are supporting Trump based upon emotion and not substance. They call Cruz “nasty” and spit the most virulent vitriol I’ve ever seen on FR. My own brother has been enchanted by the faux-Conservative Trump...never have I seen such illogical allegiance to an empty suit...wait, I remember 2008. It is appearing more likely that Trump supporters are going to get their wish and I will be first in line to shove it back on them when Trump proves to govern as the populist liberal that he is.

Why can’t his wife pack her suitcase? Does he mean pack as in carry to vehicle or pack as in putting in the clothes?

“They call Cruz “nasty””

Because nothing says Evangelical Christian like a shaming letter. LOL!

There’s no reasoning with you so I won’t even try. Of one thing I’m certain, if Trump wins his supporters will live to regret what they’ve wrought. The election of Trump will set back the Conservative movement for generations.
