Thank you, sincerely, for providing that information. I will read through every word of it. It is so refreshing to find another poster willing to engage in critical thought instead of hurling insults.

I accept that immigration is the primary issue on many posters' plates. Mine happens to be limited government. And on that issue, Ted Cruz proves to be the best choice, hands down. As for immigration, I am having trouble reconciling a tough immigration stance with Trump's (and his son's) statement about expediting the return of illegals.

Again, thanks for posting.

You should read Trump's Immigration position paper There is no mention of expedited return of illegal aliens. I take Trump's comment on return with a grain of salt. He said they must come back legally, which is hard to do if you follow existing law. The vast majority of illegal aliens have committed multiple crimes in addition to entering the country illegally--a misdemeanor.

I have worked on the immigration issue for nine years lobbying on the Hill for a grassroots immigration group. Trump is far stronger on immigration than Cruz who has changed his positions only recently after seeing the resonance Trump was having with the issue. There is a reason why Jeff Sessions endorsed Trump over Cruz.

Cruz wanted to increase H-1B visas by 500%. If you look at the video you will hear him using a bogus study to justify the huge increase, something wanted by the Chamber of Commerce. We have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years. We don't need more foreign workers who are taking American jobs and depressing wages.

Cruz put out finally an immigration position paper months after Trump's. However, in terms of legal immigration, Cruz has said he would not "increase" legal immigration while Trump wants to return it to historic levels, i.e., 200,000 a year from the current 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year.

In 1970 one in 21 was foreign born; today it is less than one in 8, the highest in 105 years, and within a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest in our history. We are being colonized by the Third World. Immigrants vote more than two to one De,. They will make the Dems the permanent majority party.
