Sen. Ted Cruz defended Donald Trump on immigration and called out “the Washington cartel” he says is ignoring the issue, in an interview to be broadcast Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“I salute Donald Trump for focusing on the need to address illegal immigration,” Cruz said of his rival for the 2016 GOP nomination, adding that it “seems the favorite sport of the Washington media is to encourage some Republicans to attack other Republicans.”
“I’m not interested in Republican on Republican violence,” he told host Chuck Todd, adding that “bold … brash” Trump “has a colorful way of speaking.”
The Texas senator’s comments were similar to his defense of Trump during Fox & Friends on Tuesday.
“When it comes to Donald Trump, I like Donald Trump,” Cruz said on the show. “I think he’s terrific.”
Trump sparked a backlash with inflammatory comments about Mexican immigrants during his campaign kick-off speech, leading to NBC and Univision severing ties with the billionaire real-estate mogul, and Macy’s dropping his clothing line.
Marco Rubio, the Florida senator who is also vying for the Republican nomination, took a more critical approach on Trump’s statements.
“Trump’s comments are not just offensive and inaccurate, but also divisive,” Rubio said in a statement released Friday.

Ted Cruz Ping! Awesome!
“Awesome!”
Cruz and Rubio both may claim Hispanic heritage, but that’s where the similarity ends. Rubio is just a Tick Turd! I have to give Cruz top marks. He actually shows respect for his fellow aspirants when it’s warranted. He is a class act!
Senator Ted Cruz hits a home run. We need all we can get.
My “cruz-jones electoral average” just jumped a few points up and my heart skipped a beat or two.
Cruz or Loze!
Cruz has spent the last month sliding towards the RINO zone. Sad. 14 loser candidates.
Make Illegal Immigration the Number One issue of the 2016 election.
There are a lot of Democrats who don’t like the illegals. It will split the Democrat party.
Cruz/Trump.
WHITE HOUSE SEEKS TO END IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT BY POLICE
Dateline Newsmax Tuesday, May 19, 2015
By John Blosser
The Obama administration is preparing to give illegal aliens a free pass when it comes to getting busted by local law enforcement for violating immigration laws.
In a 100-page report, the Obama-appointed Task Force on 21st Century Policing has recommended that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “Decouple federal immigration enforcement from routine local policing for civil enforcement and nonserious crime. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security should terminate the use of the state and local criminal justice system, including through detention, notification, and transfer requests, to enforce civil immigration laws against civil and nonserious criminal offenders.”
Instead of arresting and detaining undocumented immigrants for crossing the border illegally, the report advises, “Law enforcement agencies should build relationships based on trust with immigrant communities. This is central to overall public safety.”
The report also recommends that “Law enforcement agencies should ensure reasonable and equitable language access for all persons who have encounters with police or who enter the criminal justice system,” and “The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) should not include civil immigration information in the FBI’s National Crime Information Center database.”
Criminal illegals have it particularly rigged in their favor. On Wednesday, it was revealed that the Department of Homeland Security used its “discretion” to release 3,700 “Threat Level 1” violent illegals onto U.S. streets instead of deporting them, letting out 53%.
Meanwhile, prison officials have reported that illegals do not serve their sentences as citizens do, with some deported instead of actually doing time, incentivizing citizen criminals to claim illegal status.
Illegals also travel on the U.S. airlines without documents, as DHS admitted during last year’s border surge, while U.S. citizens are constantly subjected to unreasonable searches and seizures as potential terror suspects.
Also in California, illegals not only have new access to driver’s licenses but have been offered access to low- cost auto insurance. And with states enacting Motor Voter requirements that only take an illegal’s word for it that they are qualified to vote, they are registered without the hassle of becoming citizens. Illegals also are set to get special educational loans in the California university system, and the gates are opening for them to practice law, medicine and a lot of trade professions.”
The number of illegals who vote can also swing an election.
“It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.” - Samuel Adams
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” - Samuel Adams...”
These quotes are timeless. It seems that man/womankind simply will not retain wisdom, but are bound and determined to allow the same mistakes over and over again. On a scale of 1-10, only a minority of a population will be astute and educated enough to know that there are those who lust to enslave everyone and steal their energy, their talents, their God given rights and everything to be used to support the elite victors. Of course, that will never last, but for a time an individual supported by others like himself will attempt to rule. Eventually, an irate minority willing to give their very lives to stop the madness will do so. We have seen individual rights diminished in American to a frightening point. Are we to that irate place where people are going to really rebel against the madness? Honestly, I don’t think so.
I almost wish I had a Macy’s credit card so I could cancel the card and tell them precisely why.
Rubio claims Hispanic roots - Cruz acknowledges Hispanic roots and speaks out on why his roots taught him to love the Constitution of the United States of America.
One loser FR poster. Are you effen nutz?
Just leave the USA, when you denigrate Ted Cruz there is no hope for you left with any candidate.
Ronald Reagan is dead.
I could be wrong, but I always had this funny feeling that Donald and Ted are working together.
Remember, why back before Ted announced he was running for president. Ted met with Donald and had a long meeting. It just makes me go hmmmmmm.
Ted Cruz will come out on top, along with Donald Trump!!! The overwhelming number of Americans of all political stripes agrees with Trumps viewpoints, one hundred percent!!! And, in reality, they are 100% true!!! End of story!!!
Well said!
