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)“would allow those 12 million people to become US citizens†on Monday’s “The O’Reilly Factor†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 “go look for them†Cruz responded, “Bill, of course you would. That’s 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, “You better believe it.†He later added that he would put a biometric exit/entry system for visas.
After host Bill O’Reilly contended the courts would probably block this plan because of due process, Cruz objected. He further stated, “[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, he’d let them back in as citizens. I will not.†Cruz continued that under existing federal law, illegal immigrants who are deported are not eligible to come back into the US legally, and that Trump’s and Rubio’s positions “aren’t consistent with rule of law.â€

Cruz is acting like he wants to be teachers pet, always has a big nice red apple, has his hand up, “Me, Me!”
However, it’s not, not sure trump people actually listen to him beyond slogans.
There won’t be any illegal immigrants left by the time Ted Cruz ever becomes President, because Donalt Trump would have deported them to the other side of the Big Beautiful WALL.
(The one that Mexico paid for)
Ted: “Donald said once he deports them, he’d let them back in as citizens.â€
“Bald faced lie.”
“I would get people out and I would have an expedited way of getting them back into the country so that they can be legal,â€

Sorry, I see you said the same thing before me.
If Cruz had occupied the build a wall, no surrender, no amnesty ground there would not have been a Trump campaign.
That space was left open by all the other candidates.
It’s something the citizens have been clamoring for and Trump answered the call.
Remember is was Beck and Cruz who went down to the border and handed out Teddy Bears and soccer balls to the illegals. That pretty much tells it all.
Me Too Teddy has hardened his stance in this issue dramatically now that he sees it is important. Two months ago he would not even say the word deport, much less say it is his policy.
Nice try Ted, Mr Weathervane Politician.
I bet you hate my tag line, considering your employers, yes?
Cruz should self deport back to Cuba and take Rubio with him, and Obama to his native Kenya, the Islamic villain
That’s nice Ted.
Now, go get your effing shine box.
The “Seventh King” is a fibber!!
Not citizens.
You Cruzers are incorrigible.
Just the month before Trump got in the race, Cruz stabbed us in the back with Fast Track for Obama for TPP. That was a mistake.
YOU are lying about Cruz’s position. YOU KNOW THIS.
I have already posted the facts of the matter, but you will not listen. if a fact contradicts your narrative, you Trumpkins simply decide that the facts lie.
Cruz’s amendment added nothing to the bill, but took out a key provision that Schumer, its lead sponsor, said was essential and there could be no “reform” without it. The entire design of that was to stop the bill.
If you don’t believe me, ask Jeff Sessions, or Mike Lee, who were working side-by-side with Cruz to stop the bill — or Schumer. All of them have said that Ted Cruz’s actions were crucial to stopping the bill.
Cruz has said he’ll search out and deport all illegals. Trump says he’ll deport them and bring them (at least “the good ones”) back — which is a form of amnesty known as “touchback”. (I guess he’s referring to the ones who work for him.) Rubio would just leave them here — which at least is cheaper than sending them back, then reimporting them.
You know that’s the truth. But now you’ll have a hissy fit and call me a liar and other names. This is the intellectual level of the Trump campaign.
“Remember is was Beck and Cruz who went down to the border and handed out Teddy Bears and soccer balls to the illegals.’
Yeah, and highlighted the terrible conditions children are enduring as a result of Obama’s amnesty policy. I remember it well.
Cruz is foul. So glad Americans are waking up to this sleazy candidate.
What a tough guy, now that he’s getting his butt kicked.
I’ll bet he rolls up his inhaler in his t-shirt sleeve too.
It was disheartening to see so many on this site fall for Cruz’s act. It is now encouraging to see so many on freerepublic exposing Cruz and seeing the truth for what it is that this false prophet Cruz is a fake. Go Trump!
My fate in this site is restored
NOT!!!!!!!
Pretty much everyone who doesn’t have their head up their ass can see that Cruz is a lying sleaze bag.
