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.
