Few people know that Federal Regulations REQUIRE that the religion of immigrants be asked.

Not asking is breaking federal regulations.

Entry can be refused on that answer.

Rush went into it in some detail, quoting the specific regulation.

Nice Try Trumpsters.

The Truth is Cruz was the only person that didn’t take the bait. Trump trolled the MSM /GOPe / and his followers by making the comment to begin with, one that Trump doesn’t even believe but said to troll the media because he knows it will rile the GOPe/MSM up against him which makes Trumpsters like you think he’s getting attacked. Ha!

Cruz didn’t take the bait. He simply stated that banning ALL Muslims wasn’t apart of his policy, and if you read the full quote, Cruz’s concern was on the concentration of stopping and defeating radical Islamic terrorism.

Trump’s quotes didn’t just address immigration they addressed ALL situations of ANY Muslim (returning US Citizen or Visitor, such as Dignataries). That part was where Trump (deliberately) went too far on purpose to bait those that would be “offended” by it because he knew how people would react.

Yeah, we are talking about stark political correctness problems here, but Donald is chief of not caring about that.

"Of course not, too many islamo H1Bs would be kept out"

Absolutely true.

And, I would not doubt if Cruz would also like to keep them out, but the guys paying for his campaign won't tolerate such a position.

There are 100's of thousands of Moslem H-1Bs, in line and in the country.

Because we have a zillion people who work in government who'll make sure it never happens. When Trump learns the details of such a policy, he'll say he never said it and all the Trumpets on FR will defend him.

Trump plans to deport illegals and “the good ones” might be able to come back under conditions, but they are deported first.

Trumps proposal would never happen, they don’t even have enough votes for Rand Pauls bill, too many RINO’s. So in the end its Trump trying to get headlines without being grounded in reality, it doesn’t mean Cruz is weak on the issue..far from it. Funny too, if Cruz followed suit, he’d be called a copycat by the Trumpkins.

Oh, how did you crawl into Trump’s head and issue this baseless scoffing? You seem to crawl everywhere else, at least.

Ah, ha! You’re back to what I said: how will we tell who are Muslim? Bad guys lie.

Before committing oneself to an action, knowing it’s possible is important.

He said that’s not my policy because.... that’s not his policy.

Cruz chooses his words carefully.

“We should not be allowing Muslim refugees from countries where ISIS and al Qaeda have control of significant amounts of territory because of the inability of this administration, the inability of our intelligence sources to distinguish between who is and is not an ISIS terrorist,” Cruz told Jon Karl of ABC News.

An all out ban... sets precedent for the crazy liberals to ban all Christians in the future.

Point to ANY other back-off of this kind on Trump’s part?

Christian lives matter more. Stop being Islam lovers.

I think you missed the sarcasm in my post.

This is a photoshopped image of terrorists.

It is sarcasm. The card they are holding is Hillary's logo.

That ended any chance for my vote. In fact, Trump doesn’t take it far enough. I’m for ending ALL immigration. And ending all visas because too many are being rubber stamped, i.e. the wife. Ending it ALL until we get a handle on this.

This is a photoshopped image of an imbecile.

Obama claimed that he had ISIS contained. The photo shows the containment area as basically the entire planet.

It's sarcasm again.

I like Cruz, BUT I want Trump and I hope he takes it all the way because he’s not beholden to politicians or PC correctness. The time is near and the time to choose and my vote is for TRUMP! Trump All the WAY!
