Moderator David Muir asked Cruz about his immigration plan and how he would deal with "11.5 million undocumented people."

Cruz responded:

"We can have a conversation about that after the border is secured."

>> We can have a conversation [at some later point]

That of course is not a commitment to do anything — including the ‘conversation’ itself.

Sound bites - that’s Trump’s MO.

This is Cruz’s detailed immigration policy.

He did indirectly answer it by saying he’d beef up the E-Verify system and deny them welfare, so you could infer he’d rely on self-deportation.

Cruz’s response was very close to Trump’s plan on the border situation and the illegals already in this country. Both agree that if an illegal commits a crime, they get the boot out. On Trump’s website are these words, “All criminal aliens must be returned to their home countries, a process which can be aided by canceling any visas to foreign countries which will not accept their own criminals, and making it a separate and additional crime to commit an offense while here illegally.” One must notice that he says, “criminal aliens” There is no mention of a plan to deport all the 11.5 million illegals.
