Ted Cruz Ping! If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
CRUZ or LOSE!
BTTT!
As a Wisconsin resident I’m a big fan of Scott Walker. My sense is that he is a political animal when compared to a man like Cruz.
Bye Ted!
screw legal immigration, there should be a hold on it for 20 years. goodbye cruz.
Here is the Cruz ‘flip-flop I predicted a few days ago here; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3281362/posts?page=8#8
Ted Cruz Ping! Boy Cruz is one shrewd guy.
In one fail swoop he made Walker look like a kook, and himself look a little less fringe to the low information voters.
Cruz or lose
That number is much much higher
I favor a halt to all immigration for 25 years.
There really is no reason to import foreigners until more Americans are working.
The troll is strong in this thread.
The thing I find absolutely hilarious (and ultimately unacceptable) about the Walker policy is this.
He says he wants to limit legal immigration if it costs U. S. workers jobs.
Then he says he’ll find a way to keep illegals in the nation if they pay a fine. We know damn well they cost American workers jobs.
The guy is a liar from the word go.
Immigration is discussed starting at 9:20 and the “...a way can be found...” is located at 10:20
At 3:10 Scott discusses whether Obama loves the United States or not. In this discussion he agrees that anyone who seeks public office has to love this country, so Obama must love this county.
Do we have any Conservatives at all here who think Obama loves this country? We have known what John McCain thinks. Now we know what Scott Walker thinks.

We have a surplus of labor. We have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years. American jobs are being taken by immigrants and they are depressing wages.
Jeff Sessions summed it up this way:
In 1970, fewer than 1 in 21 United States residents were born abroad. Five years from today, the Census Bureau estimates that more than one in seven United States residents will have been born abroad. Eight years from today, the share of the population that is foreign-born will rise above any level ever before recorded and keep surging.
It defies reason to argue that the record admission of new foreign workers has no negative effect on the wages of American workers, including the wages of past immigrants hoping to climb into the middle class. Why would many of the largest business groups in the United States spend millions lobbying for the admission of more foreign workers if such policies did not cut labor costs?
The New York Times once plainly acknowledged as much, writing in a 2000 editorial: “Between about 1980 and 1995, the gap between the wages of high school dropouts and all other workers widened substantially. Prof. George Borjas of Harvard estimates that almost half of this trend can be traced to immigration of unskilled workers.”
Since that sentence was published, another 18 million immigrants have arrived in the United States, while the share of Americans in the work force has declined almost five percentage points.
Reuters says Americans, by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, wish to see immigration reduced, not increased. Policy makers and voters should be openly discussing this issue of national interest. Efforts to intimidate Americans into silence will no longer work.
“...there is no stronger advocate of legal immigration in the U.S. Senate than I am.” - Cruz
The number of legal immigrants allowed into the United States per year is over ONE MILLION. Should not Cruz’s views on immigration be guided by what is best for perpetuating the American identity, rather than some sentimental memory of his Cuban heritage? Walker is right; all immigration should be guided by the nation’s ability to assimilate - the way it has been handled historically.
Liza is $690.00 away from citizenship.
She's been probed, investigated here and in the Philippines, questioned and taxed (they call 'em fees) and the bottom line is .... legal immagration is basically a breeze (pain in the ass breeze ... but a breeze nonetheless)
Pay your money, fill out the forms, say yes sir and no sir ... wait their time, and you're a citizen
I think it works well ... Liza is not a threat and a good human being ... that's all a nation can and should ask for.
So when I hear comprehensive and facilitate ... all I can think of is less expensive or free ... and neither, imo ... not because I've paid and I think it might be unfair ... but because if it means something to you ... you'll pay ... and if they GIVE citizenship away ... I'll do me best to foment an uprising no one wants to see
Pissed off Filipina's are a force to be reckoned with
Cruz screwed up... I like both of them but we need them as a team. One P and the other VP.
Walker’s comments were not that controversial.
My mom is a legal immigrant from Deutschland, and she supports Ted Cruz.
There is some really dumb stuff being said in this thread about legal immigration.
If a person goes through all the steps required by our laws and actually has something to offer this country by their presence here, why shouldn’t they be allowed to come?
I want our laws enforced, and I want these waves of illegal aliens stopped cold turkey. No country in the world allows this, and neither should we.
But legal immigration? Yes.
Unrestricted legal immigration is just as bad as amnesty for illegals.
I’m sorry, but Ted Kennedy’s 1965 Immigration Act must be repealed, and legal immigration must be capped at no more than 1000,000 a year.
“...and improve legal immigration”
I guess FR’s resident liberals missed that part in their zeal to elect Walker and his Romney flip flopping.
But then anything but a conservative is what they want.
So anybody here fantasizing this to be your golden egg of bashing Cruz
can just forget it.
Let’s see if I got this. Cruz wants to deny Illegals something that very few of them want (citizenship), but will give them want they ALL want (legal status) while easing the legal immigration process. Not sure that plan is much better than Walker’s or Rubio’s.
