Using your own measures, you should be criticizing Cruz a great deal more than Perry. This is a good step, not near enough, you are making a mistake when you criticize all other candidates when they’ve done a good thing. The circular firing squad needs to stop if we expect to get Cruz nominated and elected.

To be fair Lakeshark, I have already commented on this where Cruz is concerned. With respect to the problem of Illegal Immigration is concerned, Cruz needs to drop his own support of normalization of those illegals that are already here.

However, with respect to the current crisis, Cruz, much more than Perry, has made it perfectly clear that these children need to be deported quickly.

My problem with Perry, and even his staff acknowledges this point, is that he has the authority to APPREHEND the illegals and has chosen not too.

So, once again, all flash and no real bang, especially when he had the opportunity to do the right thing and chose not to.

exactly.
If they hand them to border patrol then border patrol hands them to homeland security who in turn sends them about the country.
Hence nothing changes , but TX picks up a bill

I think your efforts to bring down other candidates are not nearly as helpful as simply furthering Cruz as candidate.

He's my first choice, but he may choose not to run and it's important to not bring out the circular firing squad as I said earlier.
