Were Cruz were to say anything like this I would be 100% against it. Look at this thread, your fellow Trump supporters are defending it.

Cruz supports Syrian refugees.

- - - - - - -

"Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), were all present at the hearing and unanimously expressed support for opening up the U.S. to more Syrian Refugees."

And

"After opening remarks from Sen. Durbin in which the Chairman said among other things that the U.S. had a “a moral obligation to assist Syrian Refugees,” Sen. Ted Cruz, who cited his father’s flight from Cuba, stated the crisis "demands the attention of the United States" and "threatens the stability of our key allies." The economy and stability of Jordan, Turkey, and most notably Lebanon are threatened by a massive influx of Syrian refugees. About a quarter of Lebanon’s population are refugees. Therefore, as noted by Senator Cruz and Senator Durbin at the hearing, in addition to the moral obligations we face as a result of the refugee crisis, we also have a strategic interest in finding a way to ameliorate the situation for some Syrian refugees and hopefully encourage other nations to do the same.

And I don't support or defend that.

Conversely, this thread is rife with Trump supporters who are either defending his words, attacking me for posting them, or claiming the headline to be misleading.

...”Cruz supports Syrian refugees”...

Be specific because we already knew he wanted the Christians brought here....I’m not convinced any others....He only said the crisis demands US attention...what follows is the stability of OUR ALLIES...and both used the word..”some”.....
