Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said “under no circumstances” should the so-called migrant caravan be allowed to cross into the United States.

Partial transcript as follows:

BRENNAN: You were very critical of the Obama administration for taking action via executive fiat as you said, you called it dangerous. This week President Trump on immigration has issued orders bypassing Congress to restrict how migrants crossing the border illegally can claim asylum. Are you OK with that now?

CRUZ: Well I’m still studying this specific immigration order, but I’ll tell you look, here’s my view on executive orders–

BRENNAN: But bypassing Congress?–

CRUZ: Well let- let me explain my view on- on executive orders whether from Trump or Obama, George W. Bush or anybody else, which is there is a legitimate role for an executive order, and that is governing how the Executive Branch operates. How under Article II of the Constitution the president of the Executive Branch is charged with- with taking- taking due care that the laws are faithfully executed. And an executive order is perfectly appropriate to direct the Executive Branch. This is the manner in which we shall execute the law. What Obama did repeatedly that was so lawless is his executive orders didn’t do that. Instead, they said here is the federal law passed by Congress signed by the president that we will defy, that we will ignore, and- and that the president can’t do. And- and so that’s the question on any executive order is-is it- is it directing how the executive will behave or is it flying in defiance to- to laws passed by Congress. If it’s the latter, it’s unconstitutional.

What about the ones who do get past the military?
Ranchers with cattle trucks?

The 3S protocol applies.

[GLDNGUN]

Better than welcoming them at the border with Teddy Bears and soccer balls!

What is your logic behind this statement?

You may be right.

I am just wondering what the reasoning is behind it.

[madison10]

No reasoning, just pure anger. The way the Dems are cheating we might as well let the invaders in. As the witch said, “At this point what difference does it make?”

[amihow]

Cruz is so smart. Too bad he is a weaselly globalist.

[Seaplaner]

When the caravan hordes are on the border and the immigration crap hits the fan, we’ll see who is for real and who is blowing political smoke.

True, my FRiend.

That said, Cruz's statement comes immediately FOLLOWING an election, arguably the time when we are most likely to know one's true feelings and intentions.

“What about the ones who do get past the military?”

They won’t.....
With cartels, there’s a slim chance
as they’re wise to the ways. But to
a mom with two babies, or your
average Guatemalan running scared
citizen, no way. The US military
observation techniques are second
to none.
If you think about it, even the
cartels have yet to deal with
our military. It’s a whole different
level from Border Patrol or ICE.

People have always wanted to come to the USA. That's understandable, because most of the rest of the world is intolerable.

The real problem is that one third of the people RIGHT HERE IN THE USA (the commie Democrats) are working overtime to bring in the sorts of people who will only steal, rape, kill and destroy. And vote Democrat, of course. Pardon the redundancy.
