Cruz:

We are a country of laws. For our immigration policy to make sense, it is necessary to make distinctions between those who obey the law, and those who violate it. Therefore, we disagree with those who label any efforts to control illegal immigration as somehow anti-immigrant. Unlawful immigration is unacceptable.

Isn't that the truth?

It's so annoying when people don't distinguish between legal and illegal immigration and find illegal immigration acceptable.

Liberal Democrats consider laws against illegal immigration racist.

That is what this is all about.

I just can't understand why "moderate" Democrats aren't throwing sanctuary city politicians out of office.

Or call you a racist, xenophobe for objecting to illegal immigration while they blur the lines between legal and illegal. Oh, and let's not forget that it makes you a brown skin hater!

I bet many on the left consider the quote racism.

I think it's more fundamental than a breaking of laws. The recognition of a state by other nations requires territorial integrity and defensible borders. A nation that does not protect its borders is no longer a state, and its government can no longer be a guarantor of its lawful integrity. In one sense its perhaps comparable to trademark status: if you don't protect it, you lose it.

I bet Native Americans wished they established and enforced borders.

The rules only apply to you and me...not Cruz or his criminal peers.

Here, have a luger in your rib cage to remind you of this fact.
