Isn't that lawyer-speak for maybe?
He doesn’t support it, he just proposed it, because he doesn’t want it. You betcha.
No.
I don’t support legalization and don’t intend to support legalization.
Where’s the legal speak in my statement?
This is the only thing I don’t like about Cruz.
Poison Pill amendment strategy! To all have ears to hear hear!
Here's the money quote: "So Cruz said ok, here are some amendments that do everything EXCEPT path to citizenship. And the Gang killed them exposing the big hoax."
Not enough tinfoil in Wal-Mart for me to believe this twisted, tortured, convolutedly-implausible explanation.
This is total bull stuff and the Cruz folks know it.
Ted Cruz supported illegal aliens staying inside our nation as part of his idea on how to fix the illegal alien problem.
It wasn’t just in this hearing. He supported it with statements before and after those hearings.
As late as circa July 2015, Ted was interviewed and asked something to the effect of, what about the good ones, can any of them stay. Ted stated, we can find a way.
This presentation on this tread is not true.
That’s something that really troubles me about Ted.
He knew what the laws of our nation were. He was supposed to have one of the best Constitutional minds around.
None the less, when it came to illegal aliens, Ted didn’t think it necessary to enforce the laws of our nation until now when he wants to be president.
I’ve had it with the Cruz team around here.
This guy is a lying two faced ass.
I’m going to do a workup on this and post it on the forum.
Then you folks can deal with what Ted really is.
The key word I read was “legal residency” in other articles, at least that isn’t citizenship.
“legal residency” until a wall is built; but not giving them a pathway to citizenship” I paraphrase. It’s compromises, I’d find it hard to say a position of the other candidates is much better; Trump has you can go back to your country and if you have been good, go through the proper channels. So, in effect, they all may compromise (except 1 percenter Santorum).
So, I don’t mind Cruz’s position wholly on this, I do think Cruz is twisting the English language though when he says he’s never been for amnesty, amnesty is forgiving breaking the law and that is what giving legal residency seems to do, thin lines indeed as to meaning.
I am so tired of people telling me that Cruz’s positions aren’t what they appear to be, or that he brilliantly did what he did to expose something, or that he was lied to, or that I misunderstood what I heard or read, or that I’m just not smart enough to grasp the subtleties.
I raised a brilliant kid who could manipulate every one of his teachers and charm birds out of trees. He was a whole lot better at it than Cruz is. There’s a word for what Cruz does. Lie.
