Illegal immigration wasn’t a part of his platform until he was trying to catch up on Trump. Before that, he was sympathetic to their plight. And he’s from TEXAS! There’s no excuse for that crap down there.
THIS is my one issue. I’m going with the strongest candidate on that issue.
Dammit my son was shot at while at work on the border a couple of months ago. This issue can mean life or death for my family. I actually *know* people who have been raped and burglarized recently. Car theft is *normal* here. Break ins are NORMAL. ID theft is NORMAL. My daughter has to carry a gun to go to work every day.
Americans shouldn’t feel like this in their own homes. We shouldn’t have to live like this.
Cruz chose to do law, then get into politics. He hasn’t PRODUCED a damn thing in his life. He can argue all day - good for him. Lord knows we need it. But he fails at DOING.
I’m going for the DOER. The producer. I’m going for the man who makes no excuses and does what he says he’s going to do. And I don’t give a fig who he offends or how he gets it done. I DO NOT CARE. I just want the problem taken care of once and for all.
Period.
I sick of the death, dammit!
I’m very sorry your son was shot, and I agree we need to be really tough on illegal immigration.
But I don’t trust Trump to do it, based on his recent history. Trump actually said Romney (of all people) was too tough on immigration.
Yesterday, I came across this which shows Trump did not have the passion on immigration that he claims to have now:
“15 Mar 2013 (snip)
“Mr. Trump is very worried that the Republican Party has learned the wrong lessons from the 2012 defeat,†the Trump operative said. “He felt it was important to stress to the party leaders and faithful that immigration and entitlement reform should not be a top priority. .....â€
Trump said he wants to deport 11 million illegals, but then BRING THEM BACK. Why should law breakers have a better chance than people trying to enter our country the right way?
As for Ted Cruz, one thing that I loved that he was effective about was getting the well-deserved medals for the victims at Fort Hood.
Ted fought HARD to get rid of Obama”care”, and other things, so we know what he stands for.
However, one senator, with a very few CONSERVATIVE friends can’t accomplish much. BUT a PRESIDENT CRUZ will have the power to make a heck of a wonderfully, conservative difference.
Steve King, as you probably know, is VERY STRONG on border security, and he said he wants TED CRUZ in the White House.
