Transferring 90,000 people down to the border is going to cost a fortune. I’d like to see how budget on that and where the money will come from. Understand that IRS will be dispersed but it will take huge resources for getting them down there and then writing all those PDs and various other things. The big question is training. How would the training work? What about housing down at the border? Has he done a study to see if their are adequate resources to make this happen? When is he going to release his detailed plan? I am interested in this but he hasn’t given any syllabus or anything.

I agree with you. Why put people of the boarder? Can’t we just do an honor system? Can we just force Mexico to keep their people on their said until they get a wall built to keep them in?

“..And so, when Senator Cruz’s team invited me to stand with him in the battle for religious liberties in America, ..”

THAT is so important, especially when we currently have a “president” who wants to take away our religious freedoms!

Well supposedly Trump is putting a double wall up there with a little door. So 90K people are just going to look at each other. Both candidates are so stupid it hurts.

***************

Texas will have a lot of new cash flowing with that many agents on duty.
Lot of new housing, commercial establishments, etc to handle that many
people and necessary resources.

“I’d like to see how budget on that and where the money will come from.”

You are kidding, right? When you take into account all the trillions of dollars we have spent protecting other nations’ borders...

The most logical response is that the nation doesn’t seem to have a problem finding hundreds of billions of dollars caring for illegals already in the country.

Also, you can research how Eisenhower accomplished the same thing (moving millions of illegals out) with very little cost.

I bet you were not around at the time demanding how he proposed to do it, but he accomplished it without you.

Ted Cruz is so crafty - if he succeeds in abolishing the IRS with his 10% flat tax on income over $35k - those Lois Lerner wannabes will be begging for a Federal job transfer to Texas (after all their severance bennies run out).

They have vast work experience in intimidation - should be easy to smack illegals around - they have been treating US Citizens with no respect for decades.

Let's go off topic, shall we?

Trump supported TARP, auto bailout and Porkulus bill.

Trump's Record on Free-market Issue: (from the Conservative Review)

Trump has a terrible record on free market issues. The only bright spot is the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing, but this glimmer is countermanded by his repeated support for bailing out Wall Street and the auto industry, and increased stimulus spending. Of particular concern is Trump's belief that the government can use eminent domain powers to seize private property in the name of private economic development. This comes as no surprise, given his support for using eminent domain to profit his own company.

Trump supported the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of London, allowing public authorities to seize private land for economic development by private investors; Trump said, “I happen to agree with [the decision] 100 percent.” (National Review)  This is no surprise given Trump’s attempt to use eminent domain in his own line of work. (Institute for Justice)

Trump supported President Obama’s 2009 stimulus, saying: “The word stimulus is probably not used in its fullest…you know, certain of the things that were given weren't really stimulus. They were pork, as we call it, or they were gifts to certain people. But overall, I think he's [President Obama] doing very well. You do need stimulus and you do have to keep the banks alive.” (CNN

Trump supported TARP, saying, "You had to do something to shore up the banks, because ... you would have had a run on every bank." (CNN

Trump supported the 2008 auto bailout, saying, “I think the government should stand behind them 100 percent. You cannot lose the auto companies. They’re great. They make wonderful products.” He also said that the federal government could “easily save the companies.” (Daily Caller

Trump criticized the Federal Reserve’s intervention in the debt market, saying quantitative easing creates “phony numbers” that mislead the marketplace and “will not ultimately benefit the economy. The dollar will go down in value and inflation will start rearing its ugly head.” (CNBC

Donald Trump has a history of using eminent domain to complete business deals. Multiple times Trump has supported the use of government agencies to take possession of homes and businesses for use in his private business plans. Eminent domain seizures are reserved only for public use of property rather than abuse by the government taking property from one individual and giving to another. (Washington Post

Donald Trump has sought and received crony capitalist tax breaks for his commercial properties in New York. These tax breaks, and even an abatement, force the property taxes of other property owners to rise at the expense of the connected. Special treatment for one business or industry over another with the tax code conflicts with free market principles. (National Review

In 2009, Trump supported Barack Obama's call for limits on the pay of executives. (CNN)

Apparently Trump has no idea of how big the border between Mexico and Texas is.

Someone should show him a map.

I could be wrong, but I think the Senator is mostly joking about IRS agents at the border.

What got my attention on Trump recently was after the debate Trump also said he would be FOR TPP if there are protections against currency manipulation. Nothing mentioned by Trump about the threat to our constitution or sovereignty. Nothing said about the international crony capitalism or that it could function like the EU. Nothing even said about immigration, which one would THINK he would also be all over. I HATED that Cruz initially supported TPA. But for the Trump supporters who point and say, “See, see!?”, I would say your guy ain’t exactly on a rock solid foundation either.

Keep in mind, too, one of Dr. Brown’s requirements for his support: “supporter of Israel”. Senator Cruz has been unwavering in his full-throated defense of Israel and his denigration of the Iran treaty.

While Cruz is promising to remove the US from participation in the Iran “treaty” on day 1 of his administration, other candidates have said they will “evaluate the treaty more closely and keep the good parts” or “wait until Iran proves they are acting in bad faith”.

I like the idea of a double wall. Supposedly there is a portion of double wall along a part of Texas. The space within the two walls is wide enough to be patrolled by border control traffic. There has been NO illegal entry in that portion of Texas since the double wall went up. Can you imagine how maddening it would be to get over one wall, just to face another one, or be stuck there until you get picked up by the patrols.

Cruz is simply the most conservative candidate we have ever had both socially and fiscally, as well as defending the constitution, who has at least half a chance to win that we have had in a long time. No he isn’t perfect. But he is the most solid. But instead of backing him, a lot of us are doing the establishment’s work for them by rallying behind who is considered the most electable.

Best depiction of a ship of fools that is the Trump train.
