Ted Cruz: Trump Will Let Deported Immigrants Back In, I Won’t
BuzzFeed ^ | 1/5/16 | S/Kacynski

Posted on 01/05/2016 8:28:11 AM PST by VinL

Ted Cruz said during an appearance in Iowa on Monday that there’s a difference between him and Donald Trump on immigration.

The Texas senator, who is leading the field of Republican presidential candidates in Iowa according to the latest polls, was asked by a man in the state if, like Trump, he believed that all undocumented immigrants should be deported.

Cruz replied, “Absolutely yes.”

“And in fact, look, there’s a difference,” said Cruz. “He’s advocated allowing folks to come back in and become citizens. I oppose that.”

Cruz is on a six-day trip around the state to shore up support for his candidacy. He made the remarks during an appearance in Boone. The video of the exchange was uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday. Here’s a transript of the exchange:

QUESTIONER: Both you and Donald Trump are really strong on immigration, but he supports deporting all the illegal immigrants. Are you willing to say the same?

TED CRUZ: Absolutely, yes. We should enforce the law.

Q: All?

T.C.: We should enforce the law.

Q: Ok.

T.C.: And in fact, look, there’s a difference. He’s advocated allowing folks to come back in and become citizens. I oppose that.

Q: So no citizens and all of them?

T.C.: So, if you read I have a very detailed 11-page immigration proposal that’s on my website it’s TedCruz.org. It was designed with Steve King and Jeff Sessions were the two who sat down with me to prepare it and it is enforce the law across the board.

Deport yes! And Ted goes a step further than Trump.....

“And in fact, look, there’s a difference,” said Cruz. “He’s advocated allowing folks to come back in and become citizens. I oppose that.”

It has never made an iota of sense to go to the expense of deporting illegals and then paying to expedite them back into the country.

If they have to be deported, they should never be allowed back in, period.

Trump has been clear that anyone must come in legally. Cruz has said the same.

You can turn this (exagerated):

“ “Myra Belle “Sally” Miller — the 195”8 Miss Arkans”as who said in 19”92 that she had ”had an affair with Clin”ton in 1983. ”She claimed” that she” had been ”warned no”t to go public by a Demo”cratic” Party official: “They knew that I went jogg”ing by myself and he couldn’t guar”antee what would happen to my pr”etty little legs.” “

Into this:

"Myra Belle "Sally" Miller -- the 1958 Miss Arkansas who said in 1992 that she had had an affair with Clinton in 1983. She claimed that she had been warned not to go public by a Democratic Party official: "They knew that I went jogging by myself and he couldn't guarantee what would happen to my pretty little legs."

Real easy here:

Replace smart quotes with regular straight quotes

If I were Cruz I would not start misrepresenting Trump’s policies.

Trump has been clear that anyone must come in legally.

Trump hasn't been very clear, saying that he wants to expedite them back through a legal process.

Which is not the same thing as saying that they should get on the back of the line and wait the 5 to 10 years to return through the existing legal process.

Trump says they can only come back in legally. Ted your putting words in Donalds mouth.

Nobody is a tough on immigration as Trump. Period.

Not so. A legal immigrant has one process and a legal farm worker has another.

Yeah yeah. Legalization not citizenship. Same thing to most of us.

OOOH, let’s not bring past positions and records into this, eh?

I merely posted an article.
