If you do that then maybe you’ll get an audience with Cruz. If so, ask him how someone as intelligent as him can be so clueless on mass legal immigration.

It’s disappointing to hear him call for increasing our already too high levels of legal immigration. How can he not realize that doing so is the same as calling for an increase in the inflow of future Democrats? It’s the same as wanting to hasten the demographic destruction of conservatism.

Has he bought into the myth that Hispanics are natural conservatives?

So now we’re supposed to be against legal immigration? How did your ancestors get here? Mine came on a ship from England in 1632 to settle what would become Pennsylvania with William Penn. That was legal immigration. For some reason our schools are not turning out nearly enough engineers, physicians, nurses, entrepreneurs and many other occupations, so we’re allowing a certain number to enter in to work here. That’s pretty much the opposite of illegal immigration. And most of those people are not Hispanic.

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.
