Cruz: Unlike Trump, I Won’t Let Deported Immigrants Return

Tuesday in Boone, IA, Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said on immigration he differs from his opponent Donald Trump because he explained Trump advocated allowing those deported to come back. Transcript of YouTube video uploaded by Lisa Angelos as follows:

A U.S. Border Patrol agent walks through a detention facility run by the Border Patrol on September 8, 2014 in McAllen, Texas. The Border Patrol opened the holding center to temporarily house the children after tens of thousands of families and unaccompanied minors from Central America crossed the border illegally into the United States during the spring and summer. Although the flow of underage immigrants has since slowed, thousands of them remain housed in centers around the United States as immigration courts process their cases. (Photo by )
