Which Republican presidential candidates support amnesty?
American Thinker ^ | Mar. 1, 2015 | Pedro Gonzales

Ted Cruz: Ted Cruz is the only major candidate who has never supported or endorsed amnesty.

•End Obama's illegal amnesty via Congress' checks & balances. (Nov 2014) •Defund amnesty, and refuse any nominees until rescinded. (Nov 2014) •No path to citizenship for 1.65 million illegals in Texas. (Oct 2012) •Give police more power to ask about immigration status. (Jun 2012) •Boots on the ground, plus a wall. (Apr 2012) •Triple the size of the Border Patrol. (Mar 2012) •Strengthen border security and increase enforcement. (Jul 2011)

He's resolute, he's firm, he's good on most of the other issues, and he has Spanishy good looks. What more could you want?

“define amnesty”

If they come into the USA and are not kicked out the same day, that is the first form of Amnesty.

Ted’s the best candidate on the issue who is apparently running—but even he is actually for amnesty. Just not ‘executive’ amnesty, with some of the other excesses of Obama.

The State of Wisconsin is overrun with illegal invaders. Hundreds of thousands of border hoppers work in the dairy, beef, turkey, and restaurant industries throughout America's heartland. Governor Walker, in a quid pro quo, received industry association endorsements in exchange for support of comprehensive immigration reform, aka amnesty.

If he is President, your state, your county or parish, your city, your town, your neighborhood, your street will become radicalized barrios that defy American exceptionalism and assimiliation. Your schools will not allow the flying of the American flag, spanish-speaking students will be given all the educational money to encourage them to vote Democrat, and they will be taught by the tens of millions that conservatives are the real problem with America.

Yes, Governor Walker has a history of governing that favors illegals over American citizens!

Cruz is for the legalization of those already here:

Snippet from the article:

What has not been as evident is what “he supports: legal status for millions of people here already, while making it easier for immigrants to come here through the front door”.

Though they are not running for President, key GOP leaders Mitch McConnell and John Boehner both are well known to strongly oppose amnesty. Yes, VERY VERY strongly. Or, wait a minute... Let me think. Oh yeah, those super strong stances were back before the recent mid-term elections, weren’t they? Oh well never mind.

That’ll lead to massive new citizenship—so it really is very much a shame we don’t have any anti-amnesty candidates running. (And Walker’s bogus claims that he’s now not for amnesty don’t count.)

I want Cruz, but he is staring into the abyss of the GOP-e & DNC-run fake media who will both make every attempt they can - including lying just like they did with Palin - to smear and personally destroy Cruz. I know he has the fortitude to take them both on, but I hate to see such a fine man be destroyed. He has been doing good work against both the RAT media and the GOP-e in the Senate. I hate to see him give that up.

I would like to see a Cruz/Bolton candidacy, since America's foreign policy more screwed up today than I have ever seen it since I started paying attention to politics in 1964. YES, even worse that the peanut farmer!

You will never see the GOP-e & DNC run media take out after the Jebster like they do with Cruz. The Repubs are destined to be RAT-lites and to go along to get along. THE GOP MUST BE REPLACED WITH A CONSERVATIVE PARTY. I would like to see CRUZ/BOLTON run under a "Conservative Party" label since we have been trying to take back the GOP party for at least a decade, all to no avail. AS MCSTAIN SAYS, TOO MUCH MONEY IN POLITICS (but of course Mcstain is part of the problem).

They couldn’t destroy Reagan however they tried, and they couldn’t have politically destroyed Palin if she hadn’t chosen to play in to the stereotype they’d painted her as.

I agree—the GOP is beyond rotten and we do need a new conservative/tea party.

That's like asking what the meaning of 'is' is.

different times my friend. Reagan himself today would not win with the ignorant all about me and mine public we have today.
