I was shocked to find that Cruz wasn’t for deporting those already here. But I guess he is being pragmatic. They can stay but NO citizenship. That is a GENEROUS gift to get to live in the greatest country on earth. He could make the case that their children will be citizens and hopefully 20 years from now they will be republicans voters as I think the illegal immigration issue is what keeps a lot of Hispanics from voting republican. Here on staten island they are very hard workers, church going, and family oriented. But boy do they drink and fight lol. I learned all this when I drove a cab :) they are great tippers too
Here too. And the angel who lives two doors down is an illegal and she’s been there for me during my debilitating chemo treatments, cooking for me, giving me dinner. cleaning my home for me. I couldn’t even walk and my son/dil did nothing for me. But she did. An angel walking among us, let me tell you.
And yet I’m implacably against illegals getting citizenship, staying. I can’t really make the two fit together, but looking at the big picture, not just one instance, I’d still say NO to illegals. cringing. And I’d help my wonderful friend in any way I could.
Deportation isn’t happening in the current political environment. A relatively small portion of the population has the stomach for it and none of the politicians do.
