The Texas Tribune is a far-left outfit

I'm a Cruz bot myself, but this article being from a left wing source has as much credibility as the left wing articles that "prove" Walker is a GOPe toady.

On Immigration, Cruz Aims for Middle Ground "Asked about what to do with the people here illegally, however, he stressed that he had never tried to undo the goal of allowing them to stay.

Doing this would necessitate realizing one thing that many, many people do not want realized: That we are being invaded.
There's a lot of business interests against it, there's a lot of political interest against it (just like the NBC-clause, borders are indicative of nationalism, which is repugnant to the NWO/open-borders types in high governance), and any real action on this would be painted in as bad a brush as they could find. (Imagine, a moment, a Governor calling up the militia to secure the border w/ deadly force and how the news would spin it.)
