Building a wall and deporting 11 million people are not serious ideas.
President Barack Obama said Tuesday that Donald Trump isn’t the only GOP presidential candidate whose extreme foreign policy proposals are causing trouble for the U.S. abroad. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is doing some damage of his own.
“I am getting questions constantly from foreign leaders about some of the wackier suggestions that are being made,” Obama told reporters at the White House. “It’s not just Mr. Trump’s proposals. You’re also hearing concerns about Mr. Cruz’s proposals, which in some ways are just as draconian, when it comes to immigration, for example.”
Cruz has said that as president, he would deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country. He’s also backed Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, and has said he would triple the number of U.S. Border Patrol agents.
Obama said Cruz’s ideas are just as impractical and politically motivated as Trump’s proposal to cut off billions of dollars in remittances sent home by Mexican immigrants living in the United States.
“The notion that we’re doing to try to track every Western Union bit of money that’s being sent to Mexico — good luck with that,” he said....

Where “draconian” means enforcing existing laws.
LOL! The GOPe candidate? In your wildest dreams. This is a tinkle of what Cruz is gonna get from the left.
There is NOTHING more conservative than stopping a permanent democrat/marxist voting majority and doing whats best for the people and the country. By virtue of Mr. Trumps position on illegal immigration he Trumps all others conservatism.
Obamass sux.
Hey Bambi!!!!
It is precisely your “draconian” fundamental transformation of America that Ted Cruz will resolve.
It is your evil that needs a stake driven through the heart.
Handing out teddy bears to entering illegals is draconian? Draconian in favor of illegal immigration?
I see Cruz is getting the coveted Obama endorsement
We can hope.
Thanks, Obama. Even a blind pig ... as they say.
And Cruz will actually work to enforce the reform.
Go away and die, 0bama.
Cruz says hispanic immigrants never beg and will fix your house for cheap.
You need to drop that silly teddy bear thing.
If you understood it at all, you would know that it was done to comfort motherless, crying children who were dumped alone in this country by sorry parents.
It was not an invitation and they did not come in.
Beating up on Ted Cruz should not require abandoning compassion.
Hussein insists on injecting his stinking opinions about Trump (and other things in this campaign) as if he has nothing better to do. Isn’t there a golf course calling? Unless my memory is worse than I think it is, I can’t remember any other past president constantly giving his unsolicited opinions about the candidates.
Then vote for Hillary.
So we can track all of the money which is transferred from American to American, but we can’t track money transferred from illegal in America to Mexico? How does that work, Soetoro, you communist child diddler?
.
Have you ever seen a Trumper post anything that was true?
Bet your life it’ll never happen.
.
What reform would that be ? Anything short of what Trump proposes is total failure and game over ..
As far as I know, Cruz has never employed illegals... and we would know.
On the other hand, Trump admitted to hiring them for construction on his buildings.
But Trump explained that Americans would not work for him because they want decent wages. How can Americans be so mean???
Also Trump still employes illegals in his casino in Florida. They make good waiters and bus boys and maids.
Who Obama attacks should speak volumes.
