Republican Party Presidential Debates

On the night of February 25th, 2016 the tenth republican debates was held at the
University of Houston, TX where the five republican candidates (Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich,
and Carson) were in town and you also have Donald Trump with the lead of the Republican
nomination of the presidency. The debate for tonight was about issues that are going on in our
country but the one thing I paid attention to was the immigration topic which is a key issue in the
state of Texas and also for all voters nationwide, including the many people watching the debates
on Telemundo. I remember Mr. Trump called for a deportation force to remove the 11 million
undocumented immigrants from the United States. He also promised to let what we call, the
good ones, come back in. the words, the good ones, after theyve been deported. Senator Cruz
would not allow them to come back in. He says thats the biggest difference between him and
Trump. Trump went on to say that that first you let them come back As far as coming back
number one, you wouldnt even be talking, and you wouldnt have asked that as the first
question if it werent for me when my opening when I talked about illegal immigration. It
wouldnt even be a big subject. We have at least 11 million people in this country that came in
illegally. They will go out. They will come back come will come back, the best, through a
process. They have to come back legally. They have to come back through a process, and it may
not be a very quick process, but I think thats very fair and very fine.
Cruz talked about this main forgotten issues in this debate over immigration are the
hardworking men and women of this country of millions of Americans who are losing their jobs.

Millions of legal immigrants who are losing their jobs are seeing their wages driven down.
Arizona put in very tough laws on illegal immigration, and the result was illegal immigrants fled
the state, and whats happened there it was a very interesting article. Some of the business
owners complained that the wages they had to pay workers went up, and from their perspective
that was a bad thing. But, what the state of Arizona has seen is the dollars theyre spending on
welfare, on prisons, and education, all of those have dropped by hundreds of millions of dollars.
And, the Americans, and for that matter, the legal immigrants who are in Arizona, are seeing
unemployment drop are seeing wages rise.
