Ted Cruz Responds To Young Immigrant Question About Deportation [VIDEO] When Ofelia Valdez, a young woman who was brought to America illegally by her parents, confronted Republican presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz if he thinks she should be deported, were guessing she didnt get the answer she was hoping for. As a DACA holder myself, I am worried about whoever comes next in the presidency and whats gonna happen to people like us? Valdez asked. I think of myself as a part of this community and, you know, first day in presidency you decide to deport, you know, people like myselfits just very difficult to process it, she continued. I would note, if youre a DACA recipient it means that you were brought here illegally, and violating the law has consequences, Cruz responded, and he continued on in an attempt to explain the broken system to Valdez. One of the problems with our broken immigration system is that it is creating human tragedies and there are human tragedies when people break the law, he argued. If I illegally immigrate to England or Germany or France or China or Mexico, and they catch me, they will deport me. Thats what every other country on Earth does, and theres no reason that Americas laws should have less respect than the laws of every other country on Earth, he concluded. What do you think of Cruzs statement? Do you agree that the laws of this country need to be upheld?
