Immigration has emerged as the dominant issue of this Republican primary campaign. It helped make billionaire Donald Trump the front-runner, after his calls for a massive wall on the U.S.-Mexico border set him apart from the field.
The attacks on Paris Friday brought to the fore the question of how the U.S. should deal with the influx of refugees from Syria. That capped off a week where immigration had already been a hot-button issue, sparking a fight between two men who think they will be the front-runner, if Trump fever ever subsides. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) attacked Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for opposing measures to improve border security. In response, Rubio attacked Cruz for . . . agreeing with Rubio, that some undocumented residents should be given a path to legal status. Cruz now says that he didn’t actually mean that when he proposed it: It was part of a complicated parliamentary plan to make Democrats look bad.
The Washington Post took a close look at the immigration proposals of the five top-polling GOP candidates: Trump, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Rubio, Cruz and former Florida governor Jeb Bush.

WaPo is woefully behind on Cruz’s immigration policy, or else they are deliberately falsifying it.

Importing any Islamics is insanity
In another recent post, Nancy Boy LInda Graham has “joined forces” with Leaky Leahy (Senator Depends) to increase funding to bring more Syrian “refugees” here to our shores. I have to question the intellect of our friends in South Carolina who keep voting this worthless turd back into the Senate. They must have a serious IQ problem in that state.
I wondered how Linda got voted in the 1st time. Then I remembered my home State...NJ. Oh.
Could not agree more.
Why don’t the ComPost worry about their Democrat candidates?
I don’t think so. The last quote they have from Cruz was from Friday so unless he changed his mind since then, I’m guessing they are correct.
Probably very worried about their Dem candidates.
WAPO, how about the REAL question about ILLEGAL immigration?????
