Unfortunately, a lot of the talk we hear from the GOP on illegal immigration is for all intents and purposes a bait and switch. Unlike Democrats, many (but by no means all) Republicans are willing to see existing immigration laws enforced to some degree. However, many of them also want to increase guest worker and legal immigration quotas - which means that in a sense their "solution" to illegal immigration is simply making illegals legal.
Illegal immigration is just the tip of the iceberg of a much bigger problem, which is the demographic, political, economic, and cultural displacement of Americans by unassimilable Third World peoples. Just making sure that the INS dots every "i" and crosses every "t" on the right forms isn't going to solve that more fundamental problem.
Don’t rely on campaign signs to guage support. Keep in mind the nature of each side. The law-abiding Cruz supporters/Republicans who respect other’s property and free speech rights, and nihilistic Beto supporters/Dementedcrats, who respect no property or free speech rights (except for their own.) Cruz supporters know their signs will be torn down.
