GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s latest position on undocumented immigrants is so extreme that it makes Donald Trump — who has become infamous for his harsh, xenophobic anti-immigrant remarks on the campaign trail — look tame in comparison.
During a stop in Boone, IA this week, Cruz said that he would support deporting the country’s 11.3 million undocumented immigrants without ever giving them a chance to come back to the country. Trump, meanwhile, has said he would deport all undocumented immigrants but allow the “really good people” to move back to the United States.

Ted Cruz's Plan To Deport Undocumented Immigrants Is Even Worse Than Trump's | ThinkProgress

Good! Now the rest of the candidates for POTUS need to join both Mr Trump AND Mr Cruz to support kicking illegal aliens OUT.

Cruz is a flip-flopper. I can't even keep up with him and I'm really trying. I don't trust him. You have to look at what he has said in the past and really analyse it.

http://mediamatters.org/research/201...isy/207579From reading this carefully, Cruz seemed to support stopping illegal immigration but allowing the illegals already here to come out of the shadows and no longer be illegal but not allowed citizenship. He is player of words and flip flops like a fish out of water but that is pretty much standard with politicians.

Am I the only one troubled by the "good" ones being able to come back into the US after they are deported as "illegal"? This is one of the reasons that Trump lost my support. Who defines "good"? I don't think anyone that entered the US illegally is "good". Criminals are not "good".

I support Carson on illegal immigration because I think it will satisfy more people and actually bring a quicker means of getting where I want us to be, said from little Mexico here. http://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Ben_...mmigration.htm and http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/b...l-immigration/

I will have to admit that I detest Cruz and want his poll numbers to plummet based on the facts that he cannot be trusted.

I will have to admit that I detest Cruz and want his poll numbers to plummet based on the facts that he cannot be trusted.

I was also troubled by Trump's remark to let the so-called good ones come back in. Who are they? How is it good to violate our immigration laws and then to steal an American's ID to work or get paid cash and evading taxes? They have all lived a life of cheating, lies and selfishness.


From what I understand though Carson is also an amnesty fan.

This is what Carson has said: Carson on Immigration: and it is less scary to me than letting the "good" ones back in. I get updates from the Carson campaign and there is a lot more info that I get that doesn't appear elsewhere. I also get from the Trump campaign. I guess it would be good to sign up with all the top contenders, except Hillary of course, and be privy to the little extras that are emailed out.

Sadly, what I see is that the "good" ones will be those that the wealthy people want back in, the ones that have hired illegals to care for their lawns, kids and do their housekeeping or bigger businesses. I also totally oppose "paying a fine" because again, those associated with wealthier families/businesses will have someone to pay their fines and the other "good" people will be left behind.

You should not be able to "buy" your way back in by paying fines since that is not and should not be an option.

Anyone else notice that Cruz has "borrowed" the wall and his immigration stand from Trump? My guess is "YES!" Oh, gosh, I was just looking for caucus info on my state and saw this in the sidebar: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/0...-mexico-217372

Cruz wanted to make them legal but not allow citizenship: http://www.politifact.com/florida/ar...marco-rubio-a/

Your Solution Doesn't Work simple math proves it! If it cost HALF what GW Bush said it cost to deport 1 illegal ( $2500) multiply that by no less than 11,000,000.. ??? Am I One of the FEW WHO IS SMART ENOUGH TO SUPPORT laws presently on the books that fine or jail employers for hiring illegals?? We could hire 10,000 People to enforce those laws and still not cost tax payers a dime... It would in fact be a money maker!!Then we use those same people to Crack Down on the Welfare ADC and SSDI and PTSD cheaters and we are running as a NATION in The Black in 2 years.. In 3 Years if you elect me POTUS I will reduce all your Taxes ...Federal State and Realty Taxes by 50% IF ONLY Because I wont be able to find room to store all the money we are no longer spending!!!Screw Congress! Screw Big Dollar Lobbyist....Screw The Special Interest Groups ..
OR Force One Of These Morons to do as was suggested.. and then low and behold actually work for all the people like they promise they will..

One of the few? Um no, just about everyone is this forum has mentioned removing all of the incentives for them to remain here and that includes the job incentive. We have all mentioned advocating for e-verify also. Did you miss those posts? We are also for denying them any benefits and ending birthright citizenship for their kids. Are you up for those things also? Many if not most would self-deport with no means to support themselves.


As for the cheating, welfare fraud Americans that's a separate unrelated issue. I don't know of anyone in here that isn't for clamping down on them also but this is the illegal immigration forum so it's not the topic.

As I said, this is the illegal immigration forum. It's not meant to discuss "unrelated" things about our own citizens or our politicians. You might want to discuss the above in the Election's forum. Ted Cruz's dad has nothing to do with illegal immigration.
