Cruz is not proposing a "special force"?
Big Whoop. NO ONE is proposing a "special force".
Trump is clear that the undocumented Democrats will self-deport because they will find nothing is given to them here when he is President. No "special force" needed.
Yeah, just hang out a sign that says....show up here and let us deport you.

Dammit - I was hoping he had fully come around to side with Trump. I guess the illegals get to stay under him (or at least most of them).
WOW! Imagine that.
We don’t need the Trump police state to get rid of the illegals.
“...and at one point accused Tapper of playing a “media game” by pressing him on the question. ”
Awww... poor Ted... :-( Welcome to Campaigning 101.
I never hear Trump whining when people press him for questions. And clearly the media is not giving up on Trump’s “comment” on Cruz ‘ s NBC.
The “media game” thing was what he used when Megyn Kelly questioned him about his views on immigration. Seems like it is not fair for anyone to try to pin Cruz down with a definite answer on immigration.
Only a liberal would be shocked by that.
Prohibit illegal immigrants from receiving financial benefits. On average, each household headed by an illegal immigrant in the United States receives over $14,000 in net government benefits per year, according to one study. This transfer of American taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants entices further illegal entry. Under a Cruz Administration, illegal immigrants will cease receiving government benefits.
You can find extensive info on the rest of what Cruz promises to do to resolve illegal immigration at the following link:

Big deportation police? IF only we already had a government law enforcement agency who’s job included deportation and dealing with illegal immigration...
This is so stupid.
We already have a “deportation force.â€
It’s called ICE.
I guess Cruz thinks it is a good thing to agree with this straw man argument. I think it hurts him.
It’s more like 40 million. Boot them out.
Mouth without might.
That is the problem with professional bloviators being in positions of power. They want to rush in the diplomats before the war is finished.
That is the same problem we have seen with previous administrations. Clinton dealing with the Middle East. Bush 2 dealing with open borders. Obama dealing with both the Middle East and open borders.
They spew a lot of rhetoric on what they will do to secure the border yada yada yada, but they fail to put any significant muscle behind the rhetoric to make it happen.
They do not want to put any muscle behind their words because that would imply committment, and committment would mean that they actually have to act. And acting could upset other factions. And they don’t want to deal with those other factions. So they run the same ole political pea-under-a-shell game, window dressing — a lot of talk, a lot of mouthing, and little might to act.
IMO, another recent ding, aside from his ‘more Amendments’ proposal: stronger e-verify system.
Yet another “shift it onto the back of XYZ”, where XYZ = biz. Just another way to scapegoat govt NOT DOING ITS JOB.
Stop the problem at the FRONT, not the MIDDLE/END. Terminate welfare, go after ‘sanctuary cities’/licenses/in-state tuition, DEPORT (and TRACK), raise a tax on international $$ orders. Just a FEW of these and you’d see an exodus like no other.
Not like these criminals are HIDING, they’re all around, in our face
[[Cruz pointed to an 11-page immigration plan]]
11 pages? That’s it? He should have one written up that is 11,000 pages long and when these reporters ask him how, hand them the ‘document’ and say “Read this- it explains how in detail”
I knew Cruz wasn’t serious about this problem.
Yeh they have to press Ted because he won’t answer the question. :-)
That is not only impossible, but unConstitutional. Exactly how would he do that? Send in his SS storm-troopers to any house when someone reports a suspected hispanic being illegal? or having a latino accent? Guess what? There are millions of hispanic legal residents/citizens in the US. Think how big that new bureaucracy would have to be. We're probably thinking about a who new sub-division after Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Here's the Duck's new agency: Hispanic Household Harrassment (HHH).
If The Donald Duck had a brain and knew what he is talking about, he would be discussing increased raids on businesses who hire illegals and givie huge fines to those who hire them. Kill the jobs for the illegals, they go away. It worked fairly well in the past until Bush and Obama curtailed those efforts.
He could also get the FBI to crack down on counterfeit IDs, not to mention building a double fence that are close to staging areas (towns) and highways. But raiding individual homes block by block is just ludicrous. The guy is an idiot and pandering to peoples' anger.
As stated in my post above, Google California border fence and see how effective it's been for years. It's the reason that Arizona then became the target for the illegal invasion in the Southwest. Ever wonder why New Mexico doesn't have such an influx? Answer: I-10 is so far removed from any area of population that the illegals can disappear into - other than maybe Los Cruces - same for west Texas. However, south Texas has many border towns. Again, a double fence with a road in-between for BP to cruise within those fences. Sensors, lights, and fines for businesses who knowingly hire illegals and the entry problem is fixed.
Those already here also has answers, but I'm tired of telling you folks what has worked in the past, but no longer used. FAIR and CIS will give you the answers.
