Donald Trump: Ted Cruz Was For Welcoming Syrian Refugees Before He Was Against It

[grania]

Oh, another thing. Romney needs to be exposed. When Romney said he wouldn't campaign for the votes of 47% or the vote? How do those folks feel about Romney telling them how to vote now? Remind them that Romney isn't President because he wrote them off last election!

Honestly, sometimes I wonder if staff for all of these candidates (not just Trump) have the same passion us voting fodder do.

We CAN'T lose this one. If the nomination is stolen from Trump (and Sanders for that matter) the elite will realize they can control nominations without voters. That means they usurp even more wealth and power for themselves, at the expense of average US citizens. The US middle class cannot survive four more years of having our rights and economic well-being taken from us.

Odd how all the things Trump was for before he was against get a pass though, isn’t it? Double standards are something one would expect to find with democrats.

[McGruff]

Cruz’s eligibility questions are the best case against him. It’s still unresolved.

Cruz was talking about Syrian Christians who were being slaughtered by the Muslims. He said that they deserved to be considered as refugees on religious persecution grounds. Trumps people took one sentence out of the entire statement and tries to smear Cruz with it. That worked pretty well here on FR, as elsewhere, even though it was an easily disprovable lie.

[McGruff]

Remember the outrage over this?

Donald Trump: Ban all Muslim travel to U.S.

[Hostage]

> “Cruz was talking about Syrian Christians who were being slaughtered by the Muslims.”

True. But now he’s against allowing Syrians into the USA. I understand why but he failed to articulate it.

Donald has the better plan which is to build safe zones in Syria and throughout ISIS occupied lands. Meanwhile, all Muslim immigration stops until it has been reviewed. Ted has drifted towards Donald’s approach, so Donald is expressing that Ted is not the real leader, that he gets it wrong before he gets it right. That could be very true.

I don't know where Trump stands on anything, really. He's all over the place. But he's my Plan B choice after Cruz because his nomination would set the GOP on fire and it needs to be done. That pit of vipers collaborators needs to be eradicated politically and a real opposition party arise. If Trump rises, even if they deny him the nomination at the convention (Especially so!) the GOP will do the way of the whigs and I'm for it.

We all like to point to people like Mitch McConnell and say he's a RINO but we don't get it. The Republican party is not conservative and Mitch is a mainstream republican. Conservatives are the RINOs, they think they are republicans but they really aren't. They're not welcome and the elites simply use them every few years to get elected and then go back to scoffing at them and spitting in their faces. I'm done with it.

You did good .... you managed to get all of Trumps talking points in. How about when Trump was a democrat writing checks to Hillary and Planned Parenthood, and Nancy Peloshi, and harry Reid, ect, etc, etc...hummmmmmm!!!

[ontap]

Same here!!!

[ontap]

So how many of Trumps ideas he had eight months ago will he go back to!!!

Cruz wants to raise the H1B visa limit 500%.

False. From https://www.tedcruz.org/cruz-immigration-plan/:

Amend the H-1B visa program to fulfill its original purpose: Work with Congress to pass reform legislation for the H-1B visa program that will:

• Create an advanced degree requirement: Only individuals with advanced degrees in their respective fields may be brought to the United States with an H-1B visa. And preference will be given to those with advanced degrees from American universities.
• Create a "layoff cool-off" period for all H-1B visa applications: Companies must wait one or two years between laying off a worker and bringing in any H-1B foreign workers to ensure that the program is not used to displace American workers.
• Establish accreditation or recognition requirements for overseas schools: The recent lack of federal oversight of the H-1B visa program has fueled a cottage industry of diploma mills. Foreign academic institutions must meet minimum accreditation standards at least as stringent as those imposed on American universities in order to qualify for the advanced-degree requirement.
• Require sworn affidavits describing domestic hiring efforts: Companies will provide sworn statements and documentation that detail their efforts to hire Americans before requesting foreign workers through the H-1B visa program. Individuals who make false statements in these affidavits will be subject to perjury charges.
• Suspend companies from H-1B visa eligibility for failure to help foreign workers obtain green cards: Many companies misuse the H-1B visa program to train foreign workers that they intend to send back overseas to compete with America. The law must impose additional requirements on employers to pursue Legal Permanent Resident status on behalf of their H-1B visa-based foreign workers, or risk loss of access to the program.

So he’s just a flip flopper like Trump, then?

[ConservingFreedom]

He hasn't matched Trump's taking three positions on foreign hires in 24 hours (from before the last debate to the morning after).

[Black Agnes]

I agree, Cruz having been involved with the NWO for nearly 2 decades, he’s a little more politically savvy than that.

[pookie18]

I’m not going to assume...I’m sure that you know the “meaning” of that word...

[Black Agnes]

Yes, I do.

Just like I know the meaning of ‘betrayal’.

Wait for it. It’s coming from Cruz.

[Leto]

trump was for abortion before he was against it. He was for amnesty before he was against it. He is for ethanol subsidies and for TARP and For the auto bailout and for Obama stimulus.

See anyone can play that game.

[Theo]

He was. But it is no longer possible to properly vet them. So he is opposed to their entry.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Me either. Guessing it’s because they did not, at least not in clear words like Trump used. Getting it all tangled up in political/lawyer speak just drowns the message.

[cincinnati65]

Not FALSE, but it is a change from his previous stance — an amendment to the Gang of Eight bill offered by Cruz that would have increased H1B’s fivefold to 325,000.
