Mass immigration is seen by someone like Ted Cruz as an important element of our nation's economic future. Simply put, there are a lot of intelligent people (not "clueless" at all) who see them as new customers for nearly every business and government agency in the country.

I'm not saying he's right, but I am pointing out that this is what puts almost every group that pours financial support into election campaigns in this country on the same side on this issue.

I agree with most of what you say. But there is no good reason at all to think the GOP will ever win, or even break even with Immigrant groups come election time. Surely the chamber of commerce people know that their cheaper labor and increased number of customers will be offset by by anti-business, anti-growth policies implemented by Democrats. And deep down, surely Cruz knows that in 20 years or so he won’t be able to carry Texas.
