Cruz vows to round up and forcefully deport immigrants

Sen. Ted Cruz wants Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to round up America’s 12 million illegal immigrants and deport them. He is like a little baby: “soft, weak, little baby by comparison”, Trump said at a campaign rally in Sparks, Nevada, after slamming Cruz yet again as “the single biggest liar I have ever dealt with”. “And you, President Cruz are going to sends the Feds to his house, take him out and put him on a plane back to Ireland?”. “That’s not how we enforce the law for any crime”, he said at the time. Ted Cruz emphasized in an interview he would, as president, encourage law enforcement officials to look for undocumented immigrants to deport. Yes, we should enforce them. “We should triple the Border Patrol”, Cruz said.

“Of course you would”.

Here’s exactly what he said when O’Reilly asked that question: “That’s what ICE exists for”. He added that it is the reason why they have law enforcements that look for people that violate the law, as reported by Washington Post. He says, “I am no longer on the Cruz campaign”.

Cruz has also proposed dedicating even more manpower and equipment to the southern border. Among likely Republican primary voters who identify with the Tea Party, Cruz leads Trump 56 percent to 26 percent in the UT/TT Poll.

Ahmed Diab, a 24-year-old grassroots Cruz supporter from Virginia, said the senator “really disappointed me” in SC. If Cruz can’t win one delegate with demographics like that, the fears are Super Tuesday won’t be much better without a change in tactics. Marco Rubio of Florida, who accuse him of dirty campaign tricks and lying about his opponents’ records.

O’Reilly pressed Cruz on the issue, detailing a specific situation that often engenders sympathy for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States: A parent who has overstayed their visa and now lives in the country with several U.S.-born children.

“I think we’ll have a strong finish in Nevada”, Robert Uithoven, Cruz’s Nevada state director, said Thursday.

This is a discussion the Republican elite wanted to avoid following the party’s 2012 loss to President Obama.

“Ted Cruz only talks tough on immigration now because he did so badly in (South Carolina)”.

That’s perhaps thanks to Trump, who discovered that a sizable segment of the Republican electorate was outraged about its perception that unauthorized immigrants are taking jobs and changing the nature of the country. Even yesterday evening, Cruz made a valiant attempt to ramp up his rhetoric on immigration, perhaps hoping he could swipe a few of Trump’s hardliners who are looking for a Presidential nominee to support with, say, a more stable haircut.
