Okay, listen to HIS comments, HIS recent interviews, such as with Hannity. He says he is against amnesty but if you listen, he’s defined that very narrowly as path to citizenship.

Consider this:
Deport —> Present —> Legal Status —> Citizenship

No Amnesty <—> Amnesty

I hear his comments as allowing legal status, after security the border, and he defines this as No Amnesty.

Sorry, I don’t. Anything to the right of Deport is Amnesty.

Now, as others have observed, he’s about the best we’ve got on this. He’s avoid the dismissal Walker, Bush, Rubio, Christy, and others have faced because he so far refuses to define what exactly he means by legalization. Eventually he’ll have to come clean on this.

I am presently supporting Cruz, have donated to his campaign, and have encouraged others to do so as well. That does not mean I have drank the Kool-Aid. I have unanswered questions and my support will hinge on the answers Cruz gives. Besides, maybe someone else will jump into the race and more clearly state ‘secure the borders, no quarter for illegal aliens, no work/benefits, deport any that do not self-deport, and prosecute anyone hiring an illegal alien.

Ok, I get what you're saying. I will have to research to see if you're correct, but I do get what you're saying. I don't do much research right now, but I'll give it a try.
I must admit, amnesty is my line in the sand. But as you say, he's the best we've got and MOSTLY I would say, don't go by just one issue, because no one is perfect. But I also believe that we are going to have to protect our borders, absolutely. A perfect candidate would support ending ....what do they call it? When someone is born here, they are a citizen. ? Birthright citizenship or something.
Liberals like to be snobby and say "Well, EUROPE doesn't do this (or does do this) and many countries don't do this, so there.
