Immigrant Confronts Ted Cruz: Will You Deport Me?


It’s a testament to not only Cruz’s consistency but his class as well that he gave an honest, thoughtful answer to what was clearly a loaded question meant to make him look bad. Although he recognized the tragic nature of Valdez and her family being deported after years of living in the US, he emphasized that that would never happen if her parents hadn’t came here illegally in the first place.

“The leading Iowa Republican went on to explain to the woman that, if he were to immigrate to a country illegally, he would most likely be deported — so America should be no different.

‘If I illegally emigrate to England or Germany or France or China or Mexico, and they catch me, they will deport me,’ he said. ‘That’s what every other country on Earth does, and there’s no reason that America’s laws should have less respect than the laws of every other country on Earth.’

‘We should welcome people who come following the laws, but there are consequences for breaking the laws, and that is part of what makes America the nation that we are,’ the Texas Republican added.”
