Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is lashing out at Marco Rubio and Donald Trump on immigration while facing New Hampshire voters for the first time since his Iowa caucus victory.
Cruz charged that Rubio led the fight for "amnesty" for immigrants in the country illegally. He also said Trump didn't do anything to fight immigration reform as the debate raged on Capitol Hill in 2013.
Oh brother. I could care less. If you want every business getting involved with issues then you are not thinking clearly. That would be the worst. What we would have to hear from 100’s of business people every day on various issues. You are smarter then that. Your post has to be sarcasm.
Trump had plenty to say after the 2012 election.
Get your point but your link gave me an ugly picture of President Obama. lol. Perry saved Rubio from making a huge mistake I guess.
I’d love to see a Cruz ad featuring the Polish immigrant workers that Trump exploited. That just might make Donald flip that ridiculous wig of his!
Rick Santorum On Immigration Reform: Gang Of Eight Is 'Dangerous'
LOL, I didn’t know Trump was in the Senate in 2013. This is an extremely week argument from a candidate who has only become stronger on immigration because of Trump’s strong stance.
Trump was writing about it in 2011 in his book, “Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again.
Trump has spoken out for YEARS....while Ted was writing Bush’s ‘compassionate’ amnesty!
Here are the facts of #Trumps prior position IN WRITING: Trump from “The America We Deserve”, 2000 He has always been pro enforcement/anti INVASION!
IMMIGRATION- PROTECTING OUR OWN There’s another area of foreign affairs that doesn’t get talked about very much, but it is a huge issue: Immigration. America is experiencing serious social and economic difficulty with illegal immigrants who are flooding across our borders. Five million illegals live in this country.
Two million of them live in California. Seven hundred thousand undocumented immigrants live in Texas. We simply can’t absorb them. It is a scandal when America cannot control its own borders.
A liberal policy of immigration may seem to reflect confidence and generosity. But our current laxness toward illegal immigration shows a recklessness and disregard for those who live here legally.

Trump from “Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again,” 2011
Illegal immigration is a wrecking ball aimed at U.S. taxpayers. Washington needs to get tough and fight for “We the People,” not for the special interests who want cheap labor and a minority voting bloc. Every year taxpayers are getting stuck with a $113 billion bill to pay for the costs of illegal immigration.2 That’s a bill we can’t afford and wouldn’t have to pay if people in Washington did their jobs and upheld our nation’s laws.

Your position is that only Senators can take public positions on Senate legislation?

Are you joking me?!?
The last poll out of Iowa that showed Trump outside of the top 5 was a May 31st poll from the Des Moines Register.
That is 247 days ago. 247 days since Trump was not in the top five. But now you are making up crap that Trump just started hitting the top tier in the last month?
Trump first hit the top in the Iowa polls with the July 31st Gravis poll. 186 days ago. For half a year, Trump has been either the front runner or the close second in Iowa polling.
The lies just won't stop.
You see it with clarity and give you credit for rolling in the mud here. These fans will never denounce a single thing Cruz does wrong and there is plenty.
I personally wouldn’t trust Cruz as far as I could throw him, on immigration he’ll do the political/lawyer thing and talk it to death and do NOTHING.
It’s all for naught, the script has been written, they’re going to prop up Rubio and posters like the one who put this thread up (along with countless other ones today) are part of the problem. Dividing us so Rubio gets in and going to work as smoothly as it did in 2012 for Romney.
I’m convinced these posters are either too closed minded to see the reality of what is happening, and should not be tossing their silly words trying to demean others, OR, they are GOPe flunkies, working to keep the division going to clear the way for Rubio.
UHHHHH, mostly to republicans...he was giving $$ to Cruz!

Different tactics I see. He left his Bible in Iowa
Trump has been wrong about who he has given to....

No, but it was a YUGE issue, and Trump should have spoken out. He did not, not only on this issue, but he was a no-show on every issue important to conservatives since 2010. In fact, he donated to candidates who OPPOSED conservatives. His seems to have been a Road to Iowa conversion.
Iowa was cruz’s to lose. Thats why he’s been campaigning there for 2 years.
He won, he has a 1 delegate lead, congratulations. He’ll lose the next couple of states and then we’ll see what he’s made of.
Teddy ‘Goldman Sachs’ Cruz is attaching Trump on immigration? That’s rich.
Keep lying. You just make up stuff and throw it out to obscure actual facts.
