I always liked her a lot more than Madonna.

You’re falling for the false dichotomy: either we have to forcibly deport 40+ million or we give them all amnesty and eventual citizenship. (Though to be precise, Cruz doesn’t not advocate citizenship for them, even though that would be the end result.)

And if it’s really that many, then by chain migration after they become citizens we’re talking about 120 million Leftist, low-skill, welfare-dependent, new Americans!

You’ve clearly already surrendered to our becoming North Latin America, but your fellow citizens haven’t, and it is pressure from voters that can keep us from that end.

Enforce the laws, don’t give them benefits, deport them when they are encountered, crack down on employers of illegals, and soon enough we’ll have plenty of good-paying jobs for our plethora of low-skill Americans.

Even “Operation Wetback” had a guest worker program, but I’m sure you already knew that.

You lost me today. Vote for Hillary so your nightmares become instant reality rather than paranoid speculation.

It seems we do not have a conservative candidate who is satisfying us as far as illegal immigration is concerned. I don’t know what to say to that except that we need to choose which of them is the most conservative and which of them we can trust to do the people’s will concerning immigration and not their own or fold to special interest groups.

Maybe they should be asked “If you are president and the American people (that means citizens) tell you that they do not want any form of amnesty, want our borders secured and proven secure for 10 years and want our current immigration laws seriously enforced would you support the will of the people and encourage congress to do so as well? And if not, why not?”

The answer to a question like that will tell you much more about a candidate than just their views on illegal immigration. If you see sweat beads forming on their foreheads and hear a lot of stuttering that will tell you quite a bit as well:)

The Times notes that Mercer's hedge fund is under investigation by the IRS, an agency that Cruz would love to abolish.

Funny how they can make a "connection" that doesn't exist and miss the actual connection that says, "If a wealthy person is a Conservative and/or backs a Conservative candidate, the IRS will be used as a weapon.
