I’m not horrified.
Send them back home.
Just another wishy washy politician. Goes with the flow and with no honest convictions. He is a real flipper.
he probably doesn’t read the thread headlines here at Free Republic but he sure should!
“The truth behind this photo of an ‘immigrant child’ crying inside a cage”
(the cage was at a “protest” and kid was in it with his brother for about 30 seconds. Kid cried when he couldn’t get out and saw his mom)

I have to admit I don’t watch MSM news at all so any politician who hears the same stories over and over have to know they are BS.

The most logical response to the separation issue that I have read is that even our citizen children are separated from their parents when their parents are in jail.
I assume there is still a provision to verify that the kids are indeed children and not props.
Fine - the separations are driven by law and can be fixed by congress. This is an issue that has no upside, i.e, it is not good PR and on the other side does nothing to dissuade illegals.
Build the wall. Enforce hiring laws. Jail employers. Turn off benefits and free tuition.
Round up all the leftists and ship them to Liberia...
Africa need multiculturalism also heh.
Roughly 83% of the kids seen in cages and other heartbreaking photos are unaccompanied minors who have not been forcibly separated from a parent. https://t.co/nq0mjSiuZl— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) June 19, 2018
Ted is calling their bluff (great stadegy). Make them go thru the court system before being let in the country.
Many will stop trying to get in if the likely hood is they will be denied.
Very disappointed with Sen. Cruz. Our republic is being invaded on our southern border and I expect him and all patriots to STOP IT!!
I could care less if he wins or loses .
It’s going to take testicle-pliers to get DC to give up its dream of replacing America. That includes for Pelosi, too.
Ted Cruz isn’t going to win this skirmish, because Ted Cruz is a loser.
Ted Cruz’s skill as a Republican is to engineer a way to lose.
He can do nothing other than lose.
Never Trumper Lyn’ Ted. No surprise he’s stabbed Trump, Republicans, and America in the back. The only folks he hasn’t is his native Canada and Cuba.
Detain them together - deport them together. Problem solved.
He can appear to be very disturbing because he is likely disturbed.
Might be his wife’s influence.
Cruz is running scared from Beto.
So there will be yet another seperation... me supporting Cruz in 2024. Apparently Trump had his number correct in 2016.
President Trump is asking for new legislation (as opposed to the preferred tactic of simply choosing not to enforce the current law).
He's asking Congress to do their jobs!
Congress doesn't want to write a law that's weak on illegal immigration because they know it's political poison. They'd rather write laws that are strong on illegal immigration and then quietly not enforce them.
Along comes Ted Cruz with a law that not only fast-tracks deportation but also DOUBLES the number of federal immigration judges (that Trump will get to choose).
It's awesome!
It has no chance.
Cruz has been an Immigration Dove (pro-guest workers, deport only convicted felons) since he ran for the U.S. Senate in 2012.
Cruz also helped write G.W. Bush's Immigration platform before the 2004 election - but, he has never disclosed what parts he wrote.
Texas Population By Ethnicity...
White - 42.6%
Hispanic - 39.1%
Black - 12.6%
Asian - 4.8%
The only reason that the GOP still dominates Texas is because a significant share of non-whites are not eligible to vote, and because white Conservatives have the highest level of voter turn out.
Ted Cruz has apparently decided to throw away his conservative support and play the Washington establishment’s anti-Trump game.
So be it.
Ted Cruz, from this point forward, is dead to me.
No flip-flop on Cruz’s part. Big flip-flop on the media’s part.
