"Yes, Trump said the border should be secured and illegals sent back; that has some merit even as a questionable goal."

How is that a questionable goal??? No borders, no country. Isn't Cruz's position the same regarding the border?

Not quite. Cruz is for building a wall, tripling the boarder patrol, work place enforcement, no welfare, etc.

I have never heard him say we should round up 11 million (more like 20+ million) illegals and deport them.

But he does believe that the measures he is proposing would cause illegals to self-deport by the millions.
