To: I Hired Craig Livingstone

Club for Growth said they liked Rubio and Cruz. Where is Cruz on amnesty?

A little squishy from what I understand. He’s for letting illegal aliens stay as legalized “guest workers” but not for a “path to citizenship.”

‘Club for Growth said they liked Rubio and Cruz.’

It does appear they like Cruz. They’ve given him $705,657.

Cruz is not quite as hard line on illegals as is Trump but almost. If you like Trumps stand you’ll probably like Cruz’s

About the only difference is that Cruz would be willing to expand the H1B visa program though if done right that is not much of an issue. It is the abuse of that program that bothers people.

Cruz wants a minimum of 500% more H1-B workers each year, amounting to over 2.4 million H1-Bs in the ongoing pipeline, with those toward the end of their stay able to apply for permanent residency to then be citizens.

500% of the yearly amount would be roughly 85,000 x 5, because 20,000 foreign students are let in to work for private concerns. There have been years in which 125,000 H1-Bs were ultimately issued, because schools can also hire them and their hires don't count against the official limit. Defense contractors can have a pipeline extending 10 years, further complicating estimates of resident and citizenship conversions.

Cruz is in the pockets of Club for Growth. Why do you think he is pushing for H1-B visa foreign workers expanded FIVE times current levels?

Cruz also voted “Yea” on the Corker bill. Another push for the cheap labor express. And he was pushing TPA in the senate.

These 3 actions prove beyond any doubt Cruz is in the pockets of his rich donors...just like the other 14 candidates.
