‘Undocumented Democrats’ Is Ted Cruz’s ‘New, Politically Correct’ Term
“Ted supports doubling the amount of green cards”, Marco Rubio said.
Cruz has been on the defensive in the days after the debate on the issue, and on Thursday, the Texas senator looked to regain momentum after increased attention on his record.
Two are out campaigning today while the frontrunner hits the airwaves.
The easy answer: Secure the border first.
Cruz himself told reporters at Los Angeles International airport on Wednesday: “What I said last night has been widely reported”. “Their misguided plan would have given Obama the authority to admit Syrian refugees, including ISIS terrorists”.
Sen. Ted Cruz may have won his immigration skirmish with Sen.
Rubio responded that national television is not the place to discuss classified information, before going on to dispute Cruz’s suggestions.
He was also the most talked-about candidate on Facebook, followed by Cruz, Bush and Rubio. “If you don’t like living by these American rules, then you need to go to the time-out room in any one of your Towers, sit there, and think about what you’ve said”. “And that is the danger that these sort of fascist appeals from unscrupulous demagogues like Donald Trump will turn us upon one another”.
CRUZ: “I have never supported legalization, and I do not intend to support legalization”. Rubio, as part of a bipartisan “Gang of Eight” in the Senate, helped author the reform measure.
“The president has left us unsafe”, said Rubio.
“We made the identical promises to the men and women who elected us”. “I think what Trump has exposed is there is this big gap between the Republican rank and file and the elite”. “Those decisions have consequences”. Rubio replied by pointing out that Cruz once supported an amendment to that bill that would have given these immigrations legal status instead of citizenship. “What they claimed they were interested in was not in fact what they were interested in”.
Trump followers got their tweets on again during Tuesday night’s debate.
As I was mulling over the apparent contradiction of working for an entity that you think is inherently problematic, I came across an interesting quote by the political scientist Alan Wolfe: “Conservatives can not govern well for the same reason that vegetarians can not prepare a world-class boeuf bourguignon: If you believe that what you are called upon to do is wrong, you are not likely to do it very well”. “I oppose legalization for illegal aliens”, Cruz said.
The word fear was only used once by the candidates in the entire debate, but Michael Crowley, senior foreign affairs correspondent for Politico, says fear “absolutely” seemed to hover over the whole thing.
