MISSION — Hours before the president talked about “bad people with bad ideas” entering the country at a rally in Florida, a United States senator strapped on a vest, walked through the thick Rio Grande Valley brush as Friday night turned to Saturday and found what he, President Donald Trump and many discuss in Washington D.C. The senator linked the findings to organized violent crime.

“There were more than one that were large, young men with a significant percentage of tattoos that might suggest gang affiliation,” U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Saturday afternoon, recounting an overnight ride along with Border Patrol. “I don’t know that, but those were the individuals that happened to be stopped on the patrol I was participating in.”

All of the people Cruz and the patrol encountered were apprehended, he said. But he did not encounter any families, Cruz added, which make up the majority of illegal apprehensions.

Naturalized in 1986 he could still have a passport, but would undoubtedly be ineligible by even the loosest standards.

Show us the opinion.

>> “Where’s the paperwork?” <<

An intelligent person that has traveled would know that there is no “paperwork” to be done.

A customs agent at the point of re-entry simply checks a box on his log sheet for the day.

They’re here to demolish FreeRepublic. Soros is obviously compensating them.

He's freaking out, going to ad hominem attacks when faced with the facts.

Cruz is a Man Without A Country.

Nobody is going to show a jerk like you anything.

Read the link in #85,

[Lurkinanloomin]

Because you can’t.

Canadians have customs agents in the delivery room?

[DoughtyOne]

Fraid so.

Poor Tead imploded...

Rafael Eduardo Cruz is not a US citizen and is not one of the good guys.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Nice try foolish liar!

Another ad hominem (a sign you're losing the argument)

Well before 1875, judges that were among the founders stated plainly that country of birth was irrelevant.

This was a unanimous Supreme Court decision, a standard to which YOU alluded.

Morrison was referring to: Emerich de Vattel, The Law of Nations, book I, chapter XIX, section 212...published in 1758. Which the framers referenced heavily.

That sounds like "well before 1875".

[DoughtyOne]

He’s solid on other things.

Some folks fell for Cruz’s antics hard.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

He’s solid on other things.

Hey, I'm OK with Cruz, as soon as he becomes a US citizen.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m not, but that was a hoot of a comment. LOL

Show me a guy that can remain silent one waking second with the prospect of Hillary Clinton serving as president after two terms of Obama, and I’ll show you a man devoid of any Conservative moral clarity whatsoever.

[xzins]

I’m only saying he’s on our side. Is that only possible for NBCs?

As I stated, you’re a common liar.

I didn’t allude to anything.

Put the words in your own ignorant troll mouth.

Vattel is not US law by any stretch.

His mother had only to show her birth certificate and his. The same with crba as with passport. That verifies her citizenship, his birth to her, and thereby, his citizenship.

I had not followed Cruz closely, but had noticed his filibuster on the Omnibus and some other things.
When he went all Elmer Gantry in the primary it really put me off. Glenn Beck fake swearing him in was over the top.
His blaming Trump for the attacks on his supporters in Chicago and then his convention antics convinced me that the only thing that really matters to Ted Cruz is Ted Cruz.
