You touched on the key and didn’t even realize it.

You leave.
You get vetted.
You return, if...

That is different than walking down, filling out a few papers and becoming legal on the spot.

In addition what gang member is going to willfully go in and fill out paperwork IF THERE IS a vetting process internally?

Cruz’s plan has no process for making sure all are screened.

Many will remain just a they are today.

Under Trump’s plan, if you get arrested without papers, you are deported.

Under Cruz’s plan that person could be eligible for filling out a green card request and being made legal.

There really is a difference.

That isn't the key for anyone who says "No Amnesty No exceptions", and that's who I was addressing. Cruz wants a wall and a lot more agents at the border, certainly with different rules of engagement. He hasn't suggested mass deportation in the same manner that Trump has. I don't know if Cruz has committed to "in place" legalization. It is not his signature issue, so he has not gotten as detailed about the post "secure the border" aspects. For Cruz, the focus has to be on plugging the hole before bailing out the water. Trump wants to do both pretty much simultaneously.

Neither man will make friends with the illegal alien community. Cruz can work out details better, and Trump is better positioned (if he wins) to get what he wants through sheer force of personality combined with the reasonable assertion that he would have a mandate to do what he said, especially on this issue.

You will see a nationwide version of what happened with good Governor Walker a few years ago, concentrating on DC, Los Angeles, and parts of the border. Either a Trump or a Cruz can stand up to that.

What BS...

His plan is nothing like what the article or you, have described.
