Yes !!!
howz yerself ???
I completely agree. You just wrote the post of the year! The one saving grace of Trump pushing his liberal policies if elected is that we can shove it back in these Trump supporters face .
Well at least we won’t get shaming letters in the mail from him. LOL!
John King â€@JohnKingCNN 10s10 seconds ago . @IowaSOS Iowa calls @tedcruz mailer "wrong and I believe it is not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa Caucuses."
Still verical so I can’t complain! Thanks for asking!
This country is truly lost if that line of reasoning proves triumphant.
Why has everyone on this site turned against Cruz?
They haven’t. It’s just been taken over. This used to be a conservative site but recently I am wondering if there is any other alternative to this childish place.
Why has everyone on this site turned against Cruz?
Until this Cruz mailer I had nothing negative on Cruz at all. Donated. Loved his smarts. Loved his passion, which I share, for the Constitution.
The worst thing I had to say about him was that he should have explored getting a legal ruling about his NBC status a year ago. Not having done so is like giving your enemies a loaded gun. (I believe he is natural born but I also know it is not crystal clear in the Constitution and we need it to be.)
This mailer could only make recipients angry. Could make Cruz supporters hurt. There was no need for this and I can’t see ANY way of thinking where the idea to make such a mailer would help him win Caucus votes at all.
Other than that, I still am not “against Cruz.” But I don’t think he will win.
actually he is an anchor baby because it is used to refer to a child born to a noncitizen mother in a country which has birthright citizenship..
Why do we even post Time articles? We should be driving a stake through their black heart.
I have almost turned against—and stopped my monthly contribution to Free Republic. I am not so depressed during the day, when I don’t read it. Some of us are going to be very sad on nomination day and very sick on election day. Save your hatred for Hillary.
It seems quite obvious to me that Trump meant that he will not be ending legal immigration. But no, I do not believe that he has said that he plans to increase legal immigration or that he plans to give preferential treatment to the criminals currently residing illegally in the country. You might want to check with groups acting as advocates for the illegal invaders... these are the ones who are probably able to gauge this the best. Can you name one which favors Trump? Ha, ha, ha... I sincerely doubt it. My guess would be that in every case Trump would be chosen as their least popular candidate.
The Cruz fanatics have been equally nasty. Check out the Trump/Palin endorsement for nasty.
But fireman15, what would be the difference between letting “the good ones” back in and giving preferential treatment to some illegals currently residing here?
I’m not trying to pick a fight with you, I’m trying to make sure I give Trump’s immigration position a fair hearing. He has hacked me off thoroughly but that makes it more important to be fair minded about what he is actually proposing.
I guess if it were up to me we’d deport the illegals and then tell them the “path to citizenship” forms to the rear.
Trust me that big beautiful door is going to be a lot bigger on the way out than on the way back in. LOL!
I have never heard that Trump has said that he plans to give preferential treatment to people who have been in the country illegally. If you can find a link to a quote where he said that then please provide it. He seems to be the only one advocating that we enforce current law and send those here illegally packing. My guess is that he would first start enforcing the laws that are suppose to prevent people from hiring them. They will then start to self deport. My guess is that many will start heading home they day he is elected and not wait to find out what actions he will take when he is inaugurated. I challenge you again... Find the name of any group advocating for illegal invaders which is supporting Trump.
It doesn’t matter to me what the pro-illegal groups say, I’m sure they are uniformly opposed to Trump.
I’m trying to figure out what Trump means when he says he will let “the good ones” back in. If they are here illegally, why should they be let back in after they self-deport or are forcibly deported?
Ted Cruz, the "Constitutional Attorney", the "smartest lawyer in the room", by sending these "Voting Violation" mailers, in my opinion, violated the following federal election laws. Many States have similar laws.
The following is an image of a mailer Senator Ted Cruz sent out intimidating and threatening voters. It contains voter information and the information of the voter's neighbors.
It threatens "follow up notices" with no doubt information about if the voter voted in the caucus.
It attempts to intimidate voters by threatening public disclosure to neighbors of a person's voting record.
One must ask what does Senator Ted Cruz expect the person receiving this notice should do to their neighbors for not voting as Senator Ted Cruz demands, and what might happen to the voter if the neighbors are informed they have not voted as Senator Ted Cruz expects?
These are direct threats and intimidations in violation of federal election, civil rights, and postal laws.
The following PDF document outlines the federal election laws and the government's position on such matters for the purposes of prosecutions in such matters.
Federal Prosecution of Election Offenses Seventh Edition, May 2007

Trump may assume that the “good ones” will be able to get back in through the normal legal immigration process. He has not said anything that indicates that he has any plans to give criminals preference over people who have been waiting for years to go through the normal channels. My personal preference would be that we take a break from all immigration legal or illegal until it can be decided what policies are actually best for the country.
I am sorry if you assume otherwise. In business people generally succeed when they keep there word and are found to be dependable. I personally trust a businessman much more than a lawyer or a politician. But that is just me... if you choose to put your trust in politicians who have spent their careers making promises they never intended to keep or pretending to support bills and then adding stuff to them they know will never be acceptable to anyone... that is your business.
