From the Cruz site:
—Border security is national security. We need to secure the border once and for all. We need to stop Obama’s amnesty and enforce the rule of law. And we need to reform legal immigration to protect American workers.
—It’s not that we don’t know how to solve illegal immigration. What is missing is the political will to get it done. As President, Ted Cruz will do what he says. He will stop illegal immigration. He will build a wall that works, triple border security, and put in place the surveillance and biometric tracking to secure the border.
—Ted Cruz will end Obama’s amnesty on day one, will end catch-and-release, increase deportations, stop sanctuary policies, and strengthen E-verify.
—In order to protect our national security and serve American workers, he will suspend and audit H-1B visas and halt any increase in legal immigration so long as American unemployment remains unacceptably high.
—Cruz led the fight in Congress to defeat the Gang of Eight amnesty bill, he has introduced strong legislation to stop illegal immigration, and he has outlined a detailed immigration plan to protect Americans.
That looks pretty good and thanks but here’s where with all respect he got Trumped: Trump set the marker to furthest right…deportation. Notice the media isn’t pressing him on it? Because it’a popular widely. They tried to kill Trump on the deportation and it looks like he survived because people want illegals deported. It has to be done.
I do like where Ted talks about increasing deportation but the marker needs to be set: full deportation of all illegals or as many as possible. We need to man up and get them out.
He went to the border with Beck and welcomed a horde of INVADING ILLEGAL ALIENS and handed out teddy bears and soccer balls to them.
Actions speak louder than words.
Border security is national security.
...and a list of other nice things....
You can find a similar list on Representative Mia Love's web page....
....but she voted for Bohner and voted for everything Obama wanted.
So I was originally impressed with Cruz as a great Texan and Senator...
But like Mia Love, .... actions count stronger than web site bullet points...and Cruz has generated enough questions
from forgetting he was born in Canada,
forgetting the CitiBank and Goldman Sacks loans
forgetting his involvement in a private investment with a college buddy
and sending out a fake "Voter Assessment"
and claiming Carson quit the campaign
So I am now not so impressed with Cruz
“.....and enforce the rule of law. And we need to reform legal immigration to protect American workers. “..... >>
********************
Therein is the Cruz “catch”. The Rule of Law. I saw him on TV say last week, it may have been LIVE or video, but he was asked twice about what he would do with illegals already here.
He answered: “ I will enforce Federal Law, a law which says if you are “caught” you will be deported.”
Period.
Think about that for a minute. He deports no one but fellons. Shell game. It’s called, Cheap Labor Express.
And what do we need comprehensive reform for, with laws on the books, already. Current laws on the books if enforced would throw their illegal invader butts out, and slam shut the border, and start over. Just like TRUMP intends.
Cruz wants to get in the damn dangerous weeds of “reforming” legal immigration. What the hell for? For the Cheap Labor Express.
The USA decides who, where and how many. Period. What’s to change, unless you’re covering for the Cheap Labor Express, that’s what.
