@realDonaldTrump: Ted Cruz said on @oreillyfactor that illegals sent out of country by my administration would come right back as citizens. Another lie-crazy.

Trump and Rubio will either keep illegals here or bring them back. Cruz will find them and deport them -- as many as we possibly can.
The dirty little secret is NONE of them will deport all of them. It’s smoke and mirrors. We do know Trump will make “deals” with the dems.
Ted lies again.
Nobody likes Ted.
I don’t think Cruz said that Trump said he’d let them back in to be citizens. He said that Trump would let them back in. I don’t remember Cruz saying the “to be citizens” part.

Sorry Cruz. Too little, too late.
Too little: You’ve flip-flopped too much on these issues just over the course of the campaign for anyone to believe. And even if you were serious, why didn’t you parade it around before?
Too late: It’s after Nevada. SEC’s coming up soon. If you were honest about this issue, you’d have been saying it before it’s been seen as obvious desperation.
That's a lie.
“After host Bill O’Reilly contended the courts would probably block this plan because of due process”
O’reilly too dumb to realize that the courts could not do that because ICE would be acting in accordance with the law already in place, and would already be following due process. Cruz was about to explain this to him but, of course, O’reilly blabbered in on Cruz and wouldn’t let him finish his answer.
I guess I found the Coalition of the Delusional thread for the night.
So Mr. H1B is going to be tough on illegals. You bet.
And he’s also going to come from behind and win big next Tuesday.
And he’s certain to oppose free trade agreements. Just like he did with TPA.
Go Teddy! Spend that cash stash!
Sad that Ted & the truth don’t seem to walk hand in hand.
Maybe he should apologize again.
under the Cruz’ plan, no deported illegal can ever apply for citizenship
under the Trump plan, deported illegals are eligible to apply for citizenship if certain conditions are met (Carson’s “guest worker” plan, with applications to be accepted only from those outside the US, seems more similar to Trump’s plan)
under Rubio’s plan, we debate how to deport illegals for another 10 years or so - pushing the question completely out of the domain of an 8yr term - and/or we restrict their rights as citizens to vote for another 10 or so more years (Kasich has actively worked to block deportation so his plan seems similar to Rubio’s plan)
which plan is more likely to get passed by Congress?
What’s next Ted, free Tedder-Care ? Cruz-Phones for all? I’m sure there’s a few political policies left to plagiarize.
Nice to see Cruz coming around to Trump’s position. Too bad IT TOOK HIM 6 MONTHS to figure it out.
They’re all felons according to our laws. They shouldn’t be let back in on principle.
Trump won’t be president by the time he deports 5 or 10 million illegals. So worry about this touchback thing later.
It’s “conservative solutions” Mike Pence who had the ridiculous style of touchback amnesty.
Absolutely not what he said when Trump was grilled about deporting illegals during a debate. Lying Ted said it was un-American and of course he could not go door to door rounding up illegals and deporting them. Rubio said the same thing. Now that Trump has rang his bell he changes his tune and turns into Trump Jr. Aint gonna work Teddy. And if anyone thinks I’m lying I’ll find the video where lying Ted said no way in the hell illegals should be rounded up and deported.
Too bad he didn’t say that in the beginning of the campaign, instead of saying the American people don’t want to have that conversation. I suspect what changed his mind was seeing that Trump’s position was popular. That’s not my definition of a leader, Or someone who is honest.

Ted Cruz Files Amendment To Deny Path To Citizenship As Senate Works On Bill
......”The amendments filed today to strengthen border security and reform our legal immigration system will not only bring meaningful, effective improvements to our immigration system, but also have a chance of becoming law,” said Cruz in a statement. “America is a nation of immigrants, built by immigrants and we need to honor that heritage by fixing our broken immigration system, while upholding the rule of law and championing legal immigration.”
His amendments are among more than 300 filed by the Tuesday evening deadline. Republicans wanting tighter enforcement provisions filed a majority of the amendments, with Sen. Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, leading the pack with 77 amendments.
Supporters of the bill, mainly of the part of it that would legalize millions of undocumented immigrants, kept a steady drumbeat in defense of the measure though emails, websites and social media.
In a press release, America’s Voice, a leading national group that advocates for more lenient immigration laws, singled out Cruz’s anti-citizenship amendment as particularly worrisome.
“This would not only destroy the path to citizenship in the Senate bill - the popular heart of an immigration reform solution - but also turn its back on 100 years of precedent in immigration policy,” said the release..........

Who’s right: Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio?
“....The bipartisan group of eight senators - including battle-tested veterans and relative newcomers like Rubio - painstakingly negotiated a delicate compromise in early 2013 that would overhaul every corner of the U.S. immigration system, including a 13-year pathway to citizenship for millions here illegally.
Fans and foes of the legislation, as well as observers at the time, knew the core bill couldn’t change too dramatically because that would upset that compromise, which not only had the backing of Democrats and Republicans in the Senate but also coalitions off the Hill, such as labor unions and the business lobby.
Cruz’s amendment - which called for stripping out a pathway to citizenship, but keeping a path for legalization - would have done precisely that.
The night before each Senate Judiciary Committee markup, senior Gang of Eight aides would huddle to scour through each of the amendments that were teed up for the following day, determining which proposals would be palatable and which would be unacceptable. This strategy was meant to ensure the core elements of the Gang of Eight deal would stay intact (the four members of the Gang who sat on the Judiciary Committee would vote in a bloc, usually with the rest of the committee Democrats, to vote down potential deal-killers).
“This one was one that clearly we all had to oppose because it went to the core of the deal,” recalled an aide to a Senate Democrat during the 2013 negotiations. “It could’ve unraveled the whole deal. Sure, Cruz himself never called it a “poison pill” at the time. But no senator refers to his own proposal as a poison pill, even if it plainly is. The Gang of Eight never considered Cruz as “gettable,” and it was well-known at the time that Cruz was never going to vote for the bill and was in fact, trying to kill it.”.....
