Ted Cruz won’t rule out legalization for illegal immigrants
Hot Air ^ | 11/21/2015

"If we put in place a strong E-Verify system and deport criminal illegal aliens, the number of people here illegally will drop significantly, particularly if there's not a continual flow of people coming in illegally," Cruz said.

"At that point, once we've demonstrated that we can solve the problem, then we can have a conversation about what to do about whatever people remain illegally," Cruz added. When asked if that conversation included the potential for a pathway to legal status, he repeated, "We can have that conversation with the American people once we secure the border."

I think you are distorting the facts in 157.

First, nobody does everything at once. Not Cruz, not Trump. That is the reality.

Second, you do not know what happens here, either with Trump or Cruz, or anyone else for that matter. We only know what they say, and who we trust. The future holds what the future holds and it is not for you to know. it will be revealed with the passage of time and only then.

Trump has not set the bar at NO, NADA. He has set the bar at SOME, MAYBE. Sort of like Cruz. Both have allowed a bit of ambiguity about future policy initiatives, but both have affirmed that they will follow the Law as it exists.

The truth is that both Cruz and Trump are very good on this issue, and I see little profit in slagging one or the other as not being as pure as the Pope. For me, the issue is who do I trust more and my answer to that might well be different than yours. Due to the fact that there will only be one winner, we’ll never know how was better, we’ll only know how the winner did.

Right now my issues are not particularly with the candidates or their positions, but with their advocates on this forum who routinely lie and dissemble.

Its not a newsflash that Ted Cruz has talked about legalization for illegals but no citizenship. You need to keep up. You are always behind the curve on every thread. Then your usual modus operandi is to attack because you have no argument. Short bus comes to mind. :-)

You are a nasty, lying pile of crap.

I've noticed that about a lot of Cruz supporters here on FR. My fear, after seeing Cruz promote and vote for TPA, is that he is as well.

you can come back to us

Who is this "us" you speak of? Do you have a rat in your pocket, or do you presume to speak for everybody?

No, its just an absurd lie.

Its not a news flash that you are a constant liar, either.

Like I said always behind curve and on the short bus. Try to add something to conversation once in awhile. :-)

Trump is "moving in the right direction", but Ted said something uncool in 2013.

Oh God! lets stone him to death! Are you for real?
