"CHUCK TODD, MEET THE PRESS: Let's bring up Donald Trump. You defended
him. Your former governor, Rick Perry, has criticized him. You've had an
experience with plenty of Mexican immigrants in Texas. Are they-- are
these immigrants that are coming into Texas what Donald Trump describes?
Are they drug dealers, rapists, and such?
SEN. TED CRUZ: Listen, I am a passionate advocate for legal immigrants. I am the son of an
immigrant who came legally from Cuba. And I'll tell
you, from the day I started campaigning, I traveled the state of Texas,
talking about how all of us, we are the children of those who risked
everything for freedom. That that immigrant experience of all of us is
what makes us Americans, because we value in our DNA liberty and
opportunity above all else.
Now, when it comes to Donald Trump, I like Donald Trump. He's bold, he's brash. And I get that-- that-- that it seems the favorite sport of the Washington media is to encourage some Republicans to attack other Republicans. I ain't gonna do it. I'm not interested in Republican on Republican violence.
CHUCK TODD: Rhetoric matters.
TED CRUZ: You know--
CHUCK TODD: Doesn't rhetoric matter?
TED CRUZ: I salute Donald Trump for focusing on the need to address illegal immigration. The Washington cartel doesn't want to address that. The Washington cartel doesn't believe we need to secure the borders. The Washington cartel supports amnesty and I think amnesty's wrong. And I salute Donald Trump for focusing on it. He has a colorful way of speaking. It's not the way I speak. But I'm not gonna engage in the media's game of throwing rocks and attacking other Republicans. I'm just not gonna do it." RCP
