It might mean he saw the error of his ways.
Cruz has already done an up close and personal.....He went there with Attorney General of Texas, Greg Abbott
Gee, I would hate to be your neighbor in a time of need...
Feeding these hungry people are not encouraging them....many of these people were sold a bill of goods by the Obama administration to come to the USA and get your free sh*t...and vote democrat too...
I'm sure most had no idea the kerfuffle they were walking into...
This is what I'm thinking, too. It's just an unfounded guess on my part, but I wonder if he isn't going to use this visit to turn the spotlight on the chaos there and on Obama's utter failure to address it. Once the visit is over, I think Cruz is going to crank it up....refuse to be quiet about what he saw until something is done. He'll have that personal experience to draw on.

Additionally, then Sens Graham and McCain stated on MTP last week that Cruz supported to legalization of those here now, Cruz did not refute it.
But he's against "Amnesty".
I don’t know what to think anymore!
I spent time today......along with many others in our nation....protesting this invasion.
And Ted Cruz, IMO, should have been at one of those protests in Texas.....
Instead he’s unloading food for the illegals.
I seriously doubt the government was allowing these illegals to starve.
I also joined the national protests, this morning, north of Houston. We had about 90 - 100 patriots. We were overwhelmingly supported by the passing traffic.
I agree....I would much prefer to see Sen Cruz standing with the patriots protesting this invasion, than handing out goodies to the illegals, with GB.
Wasn’t it a great experience standing with other citizen patriots .....trying to make a difference!!
I didn’t feel so alone......
The worst thing we could do is to let these people starve. Third World poverty is on display in this country. Do we answer back with a resounding, "Go back," to a 4-year old? How will we find out who these people's parents are? How will we keep them from child pornographers or drug coyotes? People have DUMPED their children on us. Unbelievable. These little ones are ALONE.
Do you seriously think the government was letting these kids starve.
Your post is one reason why citizens are so angry!!!!!!??
Americans, in general, have heart !!!
Knowing this, that’s exactly what the Saul Alinsky types are playing on.....
How dare you imply we don’t care!
BUT we care very much for our own children and grandchildren too!!!!
And we are angry and scared these illegal children are bringing in diseases.
Shame on you’’!!!!!!!!?.
I didn’t want to imply that anyone didn’t care. At all.
I hadn’t seen pictures of the little ones.
I did notice that people on the thread were upset. So am I.
I believe this is the fundamental change 0bama originally meant, starting with paying for illegals health’care’
I am furious. But I hope I would feed them and send them home, if I can.
For example, the dead children on the Rio Grande could have been trafficked and killed, then dumped. I worry that now that we have all these underage people—even gang members—in these detention camps, we have a REAL serious situation on more levels than we know what to do with. Beginning with how we ask a 4 year old who his parents are and where they are.
I’d rather think of these people as invaders, which they are.
I’d prefer to send them ALL back. Every single one.
But I don’t want the press to have the luxury of painting us as uncaring, especially since the ‘press’ have children, too.
I am furious that this invasion has the potential to lead to bloodshed, as this WILL NOT end well. Maybe it’s time that happened, as we’re being torn apart, all the same. I know where I’d start.
I just would rather watch about home remodeling or go to dinner, rather than think about all this. Going to dinner, however, takes me past new construction of multiple-family (affordable?) housing, so I can’t much get away from the topic.
“Do you seriously think the government was letting these kids starve.”
I believe that the government itself is overwhelmed, at which point, supply lines of all types can easily break.
It’s possible you’re naive rather than deliberately combative....
But here’s a clue.....Do you honestly think the MSM will respond positively......all bunny rabbits and sunshine ...to Ted Cruz photo op with the children?
We are begging for true leaders. Not the kind who change their stripes once they get in office......ie, Marco Rubio!
I’m sick of being duped.....and I am sadly disappointed Ted Cruz joined this little venture.
Do the pictures of the kids show malnourished starving munchkins?
THEY ARE BEING FED
ONE MORE THING......what will these same kids do or eat when Ted and Glenn leave?????
Thanks much, combat_boots. That was very good of you.
“what will these same kids do or eat when Ted and Glenn leave?????”
I believe they will be escorted to the interior, a la the thread the other evening, which is trafficking of its own sort. Hence my comment on the supply lines.
The aloneness will lead to gang membership, simply to survive. So, we will have 10s of 1000s of hardened 3rd worlders on our hands and in our pockets.
We should all learn Spanish. For sheer survivability. It’s always best to learn the language of your opponent. Knowing one saved my a$$ more than once.
NO. I am not being deliberately combative.
Oh. One more thing. I am not naïve at all. But I am a problem solver, not a touchy feely type. I strategize and try to think ahead.
For example, I would not put it past 0bama to LET some of these kids starve and let the press see this, if it served his master’s agenda. That bothers me.
Whatever.
I am too weary and heartsick over the deliberate destruction of our nation.....
to carry on this conversation.
Do what you want.
Think what you want......you will anyway.
