Cruz voted against and has been a vocal critic of a Senate-passed immigration bill, S. 744, which has stalled in the House. After a series of border security measures are met, the bill would have allowed a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally since at least Dec. 31, 2011. The earned path to citizenship included paying fines and back taxes, proving gainful employment, completing background checks, learning English and civics, and going to the back of the line of prospective immigrants. Cruz has called any path to citizenship “amnesty.”

I never use fact check as a resource.
But I do know where Cruz stands on Amnesty and am comfortable with that regardless of how that may need to be tweeted once he’s in office.....he’s got Americans on his mind first and foremost.
Senator Cruz is surely better than others. But even he will allow most illegals to stay in the country. Once the illegals become legal residents, any future president and congress can award them path to citizenship. I want them all gone back to their country of origin and wait in line behind those applying for green cards legally. Anything else is a form of amnesty.
If all illegals were sent back, future illegal immigration will be discouraged. By giving them path to legal residency, will encourage more illegals to arrive.
Keep in mind a 100 foot tall electrified fence from end to end on the southern border will not stop people coming on tourist and student visa’s and never leaving. That is almost half of the illegal community.
