TYT: Trump And Cruz Trade Blows On Amnesty
Donald Trump has released an ad claiming that Ted Cruz supports amnesty for undocumented immigrants. In return, Ted Cruz has said that Trump is, in fact, the immigrant lover. John Iadarola (ThinkTank), Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show Podcast), and Jonathan Harris , hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"On the campaign trail in both Iowa and New Hampshire — states thousands of miles from Mexico — Ted Cruz loves to talk about the border.

But Donald Trump, who has recently escalated his attacks on Cruz, is accusing his closest competitor of not being tough enough.
