Ted Cruz has been vocally hostile toward undocumented immigrants. He recently went on Fox News to elaborate just how fascist he’s willing to be to win this Republican primary. Steve Oh, Wes Clark Jr., and Malcom Fleschner, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is taking a sharp rightward shift on immigrant policy, affirming that he wouldsend law enforcement agents to knock on undocumented immigrants’ doors and round them up for deportation, even if that means arresting them in front of their children.

Appearing on Fox News on Monday night, Cruz told Bill O’Reilly that’s exactly what Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is intended to do. “We have law enforcement that looks for people who are violating the laws that apprehends and deports them,” Cruz said.

O’Reilly pressed Cruz on the issue, detailing a specific situation that often engenders sympathy for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States: A parent who has overstayed their visa and now lives in the country with several U.S.-born children. O’Reilly asked Cruz whether he would “send the feds to his house, take him out and put him back on a plane.”

“You better believe it,” Cruz replied.”*
