“This is not a humane system,” the senator asserted, “and we need to solve the problems. Secure the borders, and then improve and streamline legal immigration so people can come to America consistent with the rule of law.”........................Exactly how I feel

[driftdiver]

Its really pretty simple.

“I think the only way Republicans win is to have a candidate who runs as a strong conservative with a positive, hopeful, optimistic message,” he said. “That’s the path to victory. And I don’t think Washington elites are going to be very effective picking the nominee.”................RINO's pay attention!

[Paladin2]

Why isn’t Jeb working to make Mexico a better place?

[mylife]

Ted is defining himself well.

[Jane Long]

Sen Ted Cruz counters Jebbie Bush’s illegal immigration comment ping.

[SkyDancer]

It’s against the law to be in the US illegally. What don’t these morons get??? Check out illegal immigration in other countries and see what happens to them especially Mexico where they come from!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I know the Republican party is completely and utter dead when an absolute and complete RINO like Jeb Bush is still allowed to put that "R" after his name. Seriously, what else does this guy have to do before he is exposed for the leftist Democrap he is? Seriously, I mean my God, he kissed Hitlerys butt last year on the anniversary of the Benghazi terror attack by giving her the "Liberty medal" which was a complete and utter insult to the victims of Benghazi and their families!!! I don't think even Nancy Pelosi would do something like that, but Jeb had no problem with it did he? Honoring that effin' bitch with that smug look of hers. Liberty medal, what the hell has she EVER done for liberty?

"Everyone applaud for me or there will be hell to pay!"

“In my view, we need to be a nation that welcomes and celebrates legal immigrants,” the senator continued. “People who follow the rules and come here according to the law. We’re a nation of immigrants, we need to celebrate that. But at the same time, rule of law matters. And if you look at any sovereign nation, securing your border is critically important.”

Beautifully articulate.

Dang it he’s gonna anger the US Chamber of Commerce now, lol!

[CatherineofAragon]

It never takes Ted long to speak up and set people straight. He’s the best out there.

[factoryrat]

We should adopt mexico’s laws regarding illegal immigration. It would only be fair, right. Illegals who get caught in mexico have two choices: get thrown in a mexican prison, or get shot, with the latter being preferred. But we know that will never happen, with current US crony political-financial regime in place.

[ckilmer]

the way the republicans win is to promise to cut the cost of water desalination and transport so as to deliver cheap water to any desert anywhere —especially in the American west and in Mexico. This will effectively turn the deserts green, increase the size of the USA by 1/3 and triple the size of Mexico.

Attach the republican brand to this and the republicans can win a lot of new constituencies. this attack on the price of water would be much better than anti carbon dioxide energies like wind and solar.

[BeadCounter]

Thank you Ted Cruz, what a load Jeb Bush said, disgusting.

[Spirochete]

while illegal migrants cross the border “is not a humane system.”

Uh-oh.

Okay, Ted, why does an immigration system, or any part of it, need to be "humane"?

[Dante3]

Cruz is right.

Jeb is a loser. His adoration of illegal aliens is like a fetish.

[sternup]

when he attempted to somewhat justify illegal immigration by noting it’s “not a felony” and is an “act of love [and] commitment to your family.”

if I go out and rob a bank tonight to pay my child support...will the courts just slap my wrists, and say...just an "act of love"..

[lavaroise]

We are vigilantes... but they support poaching and use their political privileges to get money from mob bosses...

I am sick of the Bushes.

[Psalm 144]

Cruz is absolutely on the money. I think our system is designed to be unworkable.

The inane rules coupled with the lax enforcement should be regarded not as two dysfunctions, but as one calculated and complimentary set. The combination begs illegal entry. Once here, the illegal is a pawn. Very literally in some cases chattel. Cheap labor, sex puppets, vote proxies and mules. The citizens are diminished financially and their votes rendered meaningless. Power is sucked out of everyone except those at the top of the human food chain.

Our elites know this. They WANT this. The Uniparty will never fix this, as it works just fine for what they desire.

[Mariner]

Gee, all that mumbo-jumbo from the good Senator and not a word on what he would do with the 12-20mil already here.

It's because he would allow them to STAY.

Still, there are hundreds on FR who say he is not for amnesty.

That's because he keeps saying he's not for amnesty. It's just that HE defines "Amnesty" as allowing illegal to become citizens.

No difference between his position and any other Republican I've heard from lately.

Amnesty. Plain and simple.

[bramps]

“There’s no doubt that immigrants come to this country because they are seeking a better world, they are seeking the American dream and they’re seeking a better life for their kids,” Cruz said ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// Sorry Senator Cruz, but you are wrong and I'm sick of listening to this lame line. I would bet the great majority of illegal aliens are single men who come here for the American scheme. Get under the table work, impregnate women who then get all the benefits in the world, and then share in these benefits and also anything else they can lay their hands on. They could care less about learning the language, history of the country, or anything else that would better them or the U.S. Simply put, most illegals are here to exploit this country. Nothing more.

[VideoDoctor]

I think Ted Cruz just told Jeb Bush directly, and in a gentlemanly way, to “blow it out your a$$.”
