Sic ‘em Donald.
He is right. Lets watch the Sunday news panels regard this as an isolated incident.
Trump is tired of the GOPe and cannot stand Obama.
He pulls his own strings.
Trump is exactly right on this. FUJB!! Amnesty pimps need not apply!!
The border is a national democrat voter generator.
In this instance, I’m going with The Strong Horse (Trump and Cruz).
Those nervous Nellies (Jeb, Rubio, Perry) can keep pushing for blanket amnesty and Sanctuary Cities.
The weak, pandering RINOs showing their hands, ALREADY!!!
Make them sweat, Trump!!! YES!!!
Trump really suckered these guys into responding. Now they will be up to heir eyeballs in the amnesty mud, supporting every illegal alien gang murderer.
Keep pushing back Trump!
Thank goodness that Trump and Cruz are speaking out.
Well this should stir some nervous laughter among the sensitive republican establishment..!
How odd it is that we all stand amazed just because a guy is saying things which are simply true but never uttered by anyone ever?
Trump ought to start a tally of the dead and raped and update it every day...then promise to stop it cold if elected.
Ted Cruz = words + action...
Ted Cruz, June 19, 2013, amendment in response to Gang of Eight legislation...
Cruz 1320: Create border security triggers that can be measured objectively by Congress and provide the resources and capabilities necessary to secure the border
Before any illegal immigrants could be legalized, DHS is required to:
Triple the number of Border Patrol agents on the southern border;
Quadruple the cameras, sensors, drones, helicopters, and other technology and infrastructure as appropriate
Complete all 700 miles of the fencing required by law in the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (Pub, L. 109-367)
Develop a policy assuring real-time sharing of information among all federal law enforcement agencies regarding illegal border activity
Complete and fully implement the US-VISIT system, including the biometric entry-exit portion—as Congress has repeatedly mandated – so we will finally know those present in the country after their visa expires
Establish “operational control” over 100 percent of the southern border.
If DHS fails to substantially comply with any of these trigger requirements within 3 years, the salary of all DHS political appointees would be cut by 20 percent and 20 percent of DHS’s budget would be block granted to the states with the full authority to use those funds to secure the border;
This amendment is required to be fully offset. Either the appropriations committee must identify offsets, or it will be paid for by an automatic, across the board cut to non-defense spending – an approach supported in the past by many Republicans and the White House.
Unfortunately, the current Gang of 8 bill will not secure the border. It grants legal status for those here illegally when DHS simply drafts a plan for securing the border. And it then grants green cards to those individuals when DHS certifies, in its opinion, that the plan has been substantially completed based on subjective criteria. The bill does not require operational control of the entire border and does not provide the resources necessary to truly secure the border.
If and when Trump drops out he might endorse Hillary. He has more ties to her than any of the GOP, e or otherwise.
Something to ponder.
At least Trump brought this issue into the spotlight and is drilling down to the obvious as yet unspoken (in the mainstream) issues. I’m not sure anyone but Trump in his pomposity could have daylighted the issue to this extent. Trump also connects to the LIVs as they know him from the apprentice. Kudos to Trump.
If GOPe (Romney, Rubio, Jeb) is going after the Donald, he’s a threat.
Go Trump!!!
Well, if nothing else Trump and Cruz are providing the means by which some definition is evident between the field of candidates by forcing the issue.... we now know exactly where some of these weak candidates stand and that’s a big plus. Helps us all cut to the chase.
