He is talking about being conservative and not giving them citizenship at the same time.

He is also talking about legalizing the lawbreakers allowing them to stay and work here. Citizenship is just the cherry on top. Legalization will cost $6.3 trillion.

Cruz wants to increase the guest worker program fivefold flooding our saturated labor market even further. This is pandering to the Chamber of Commerce and the GOP's corporate paymasters.

Furthermore, there are polls out there that show that at least 52% of the Hispanic electorate are much less concerned with Amnesty than getting a job. Much, Much less concerned.

There are polls that show Hispanics favor Big Government and vote Democrat more than two to one. There are data showing that Hispanics use welfare to a greater extent than the general population. They are natural Dem constituents and no conservative message of lower taxes, limited government, and fiscal responsibility will resonate with them. The GOPe is delusional.

No, it has been his position since he started campaigning for Senator.

Pandering to the Chamber of Commerce is what Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Scott Walker (until lately when he figured out he didn't have a path to the nomination without the base) have been doing.

You will find articles on Ted Cruz's position and the fact he believes that America has always been a country that welcomes legal immigration and that he believes that this needs to be increased because he believes it is needed to supply a vacuum of STEM workers.

I've been in the IT industry for over 20 years. I have worked mostly for Fortune 500 companies but also start-ups and mom & pop shops. I have NEVER run into a scenario where I felt that H1-Bs were being used to replace American workers, only to supplement American engineers. During that whole time, I have never had difficulty finding work, and even now, there are too many opportunities to count for an experienced engineer.

No, citizenship is the real goal, so they can control the US for decades.
