Unbelievable. You use one standard for Trump's plan and a different standard for Cruz's plan. Trump only mentions the word "deport" once in his written plan and he uses it to describe what he would do with the small number of criminals.
Both describe how they want to enforce existing immigration laws in their plans.
Trump speaks ad nauseum about his plan to deport and force the illegals to also self deport. You are trying to tie Ted Cruz to an immigration plan that he does not subscribe to.
Never has Cruz said “They have to go back. They have to go back and then can apply to return legally” Cruz does not talk about a deportation force. Cruz does not give an 18-24 month time frame for deporting the illegals.
Cruz is not going to deport anybody.
Cruz’s immigration plan is not the same as the Trump plan except in your mind.
