Republican presidential candidate Texas Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said he would seek out and deport all the illegal immigrants in the US and that both fellow candidates Donald Trump and Florida Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)âwould allow those 12 million people to become US citizensâ on Mondayâs âThe OâReilly Factorâ on the Fox News Channel.
Cruz began by stating [relevant remarks begin around 2:30] that the law should be enforced, and illegal immigrants in the US should be deported.
When asked if he would âgo look for themâ Cruz responded, âBill, of course you would. Thatâs what ICE exists for. We have law enforcement that looks for people, who are violating the laws that apprehends them, and deports them.â
When asked if he would send federal law enforcement to the home of someone who overstayed their visa to deport them, Cruz said, âYou better believe it.â He later added that he would put a biometric exit/entry system for visas.
After host Bill OâReilly contended the courts would probably block this plan because of due process, Cruz objected. He further stated, â[T]he biggest difference is that Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and myself, is that both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio would allow those 12 million people to become U.S. citizens. Donald said once he deports them, heâd let them back in as citizens. I will not.â Cruz continued that under existing federal law, illegal immigrants who are deported are not eligible to come back into the US legally, and that Trumpâs and Rubioâs positions âarenât consistent with rule of law.â

You’re being deliberately obtuse. This is exactly why people don’t like Cruz. It’s slimey and lawyerly. Sorry for repeating myself. And it’s why your candidate is losing. Best thing you can do to help him is stop doing it.
Ted lies again.
...and MANY MANY do not like TRUMP because he is the typical USED CAR saleman...PROMISES PROMISES PROMISES.. only to hand you a lemon.
Trump and his followers call that person a liar.
I heard Trump say in an interview, or a debate, maybe both, he would build a wall, deport 12 million people, and allow the good ones, the crime free ones to come back.
That is touchback amnesty.
Nobody likes Ted.
I guess.
I just got a call from Tex. Gov. Greg Abbot urging me to support Cruz.
Not all of them, and not as “citizens”. I call shenanigans.
So you are special needs then?
Totally agree.
If Cruz had really pitched the close the borders and make America first his primary tenet, he would be walking away with the nomination.
I don’t think Cruz said that Trump said he’d let them back in to be citizens. He said that Trump would let them back in. I don’t remember Cruz saying the “to be citizens” part.
Actually he said as citizens. I was watching the damn interview.
>>If he had talked like this a year ago when he was the first to announce, there may have been no Trump campaign.
That’s the big takeaway here. They can call us Trumpkins or whatever name is their favorite today, but our guy stepped up to LEAD and Americans were looking for leadership that mattered. Being the guy who does a filibuster for a few hours is nice, but its not leadership.
So, now, Cruz of the Great White North is FOLLOWING Trump. Lead on Donald! Get in line Ted, eh.
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw....you rabid Cruz supporters will still be here, posting tripe about Trump.
Will you get banned? I don't know. Are you planning on posting nothing but garbage and insults ?
Cruz is an amnesty guy as recently as December as always. He’s been better at hiding it than most. He is bought and paid for, and what he says here is BS.
Honestly, I don’t know if Ted is for or against amnesty. I do know that he is a liar, so whatever he says about anything is suspect.
He should fire somebody again. That seemed to help. lol
Polly, you need to calm down, stop lying, and stop posting specious tripe.
Go Trump!
Trump will take Texas!
And Trump might also take Cruz real home state of Cuba too! lol
What good has any politician done for America in the last 100 years ? Not a damn thing but the opposite .
What politicians and the media(led by the media) have done is grow government , let in 3rd world socialist immigrants, let illegals in , give unfair trade advantages to China and Asian countries etc. Those are all extremely destructive actions that have destroyed America.. Thatâââ‰â¢s what politicians led by the media and rich foreign interest donors have done to America in the last 100 years.
Trump will do some good:
1.Trump will build the wall, the first really pro-American substantial action in a long time.
2. Correct the unfair trade deals with China.
Just those 2 are enough to help America big time.I Have more but no time right now.
@realDonaldTrump: Ted Cruz said on @oreillyfactor that illegals sent out of country by my administration would come right back as citizens. Another lie-crazy.
