Cruz out-witted her, refusing to go down the rabbit hole— others are not as clever.>

I don't think so. With that question, Megyn and similar sorts are trying for the immigration equivalent of asking pro-life candidates if they oppose abortion even in cases of rape or incest.

The rape or incest question concerns circumstances that are extremely rare and are a tiny part of the overall issue.

The illegal parents with anchor babies is not at all rare, but is very common, involving probably hundreds of thousands or even a million or so families. It's a question that would involve large numbers of people if we get to that level of law enforcement.

The question needs an answer because it involves so many illegals and anchor babies.

Right, and so how many hypotheticals does that beget? How about the teen who is disabled and receiving special treatment only available in the USA? Or the mother dying of cancer, two months to live. Or Grandma, who has been living here 35 years?

How many of these questions should the candidate answer? Because, you know, they are never ending— limited only by Cruz’s clever rejoinder- “Look, everyone agrees with should secure the border— and in that we’re in agreement, let’s do that first. After that’s done, we can discuss the rest.”
