Obama: ‘Cruz’s Proposals’ Are ‘Just as Draconian When It Comes to Immigration’

OBAMA: “I have to emphasize it’s not just Mr. Trump’s proposals. Maybe you’re also hearing concerns about Mr. Cruz’s proposals which in some ways, are just as draconian when it comes to immigration, for example. The implications with respect to ending remittances, many of which are by the way from legal immigrants and from individuals sending money back home to their families, are enormous. First of all, they’re impractical. We just talked about the difficulties of trying to enforce huge outflows of capital. The notion we’re going to track every Western Union bit of money sent to Mexico --good luck with that."
