Legal immigration is just as bad, if not worse, than illegals crossing the border. Because the "immigrants" are coming through the front door and into the Chamber of Communists' open arms, they are visible and even more unlikely to assimilate into the melting pot of America than desperate illegals risking their lives crossing the border.
BTW - Cruz also supports the same pathway to citizenship (AMNESTY) that Rubio and much of the GOP establishment does:
Sen. Ted Cruz also supports temporary legalization status in the immigration bill
Sen. Ted Cruz introduced an amendment to the current immigration bill back in May that would have removed the path to citizenship from the bill completely. But it also supported the same temporary legal status (RPI status) that is already in the bill that Sen. Marco Rubio has been discussing. And even more than that, it also supported permanent legal residency status as well.
Ted Cruz CANNOT be trusted to secure our nation's borders and stop the flood of immigrants from diluting this country thanks to Ted Kennedy's (D-Hell) 1965 Immigration Bill.
Also, the same folks calling Palin a "quitter" are screaming deafening silence as Cruz will have served the same amount of time as Palin was Governor and nobody is bringing up the absolute, stunning hypocrisy that Cruz won't finish out his term that he was just elected to in 2012.
I never trusted Cruz. We do not need more immigrants now.
Increase the H1-B’s by 500 percent?Why would any American kid want to go to college with the job market swamped with foreign workers?
PING for the CRUZ List.
He was slippery but not slippery enough. Another pocket politician busted!
Apparently you don’t understand the dynamic here.
Legal immigrants go through the trouble because they respect our system. They know the value of becoming American.
Cruz is making a very shrewd move here. He’s illustrating the difference between legal and illegal.
But I would never support a politician that's pro-amnesty and doesn't support limits on legal immigration.
Do you get it yet?
Cruz is preempting anyone who tries to call him anti immigrant.
All they can do now is call him anti breaking the law.
Perhaps they did in the idyllic days of immigration, of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
However, with a federal government that's hostile to entrepreneurship and inalienable rights, what is their REAL purpose of coming here, especially when politicians are putting foreigners over Americans?
They know the value of becoming American.
Oh, they do? The Syrian refugees and other Muslims coming here in droves thanks to Obama and the GOPe will magically respect our Constitution?
If Palin had been elected VP, then she wouldn't have served out her term as governor, either.
In her case, she lost and then financial attacks on her made it necessary for her to pull out.
I assume that if Cruz loses, then he'll remain a senator from Texas. Perry didn't have to quit as governor when he ran for the presidency last time, so I'm not sure why Cruz would have to resign as senator in order to run for the presidency.
Whole heartedly agree with the sentiments being spoken here. As a high paid IT Management professional myself having been in the field now for 15 years I can tell you there isn’t a shortage of American IT professionals to fill the positions. Republicans are no different than demonrats and Cruz is now showing his true colors. What’s happened is because there are a flood of H1B visas it’s lowered the salaries of highly skilled LEGAL professionals. Greed ridden US companies are forcing through shortages because they refuse to pay the rates demanded by those such as myself what the market should bear. So what do they do? They lobby Congress to increase visas to fill their shortages vs paying a US employee what the market should bear. This tripe spoken by Cruz today sickens me he is in the same bed as the rest. Until now I was a firm Cruz supporter.....next...
That link was posted a month prior to Cruz’s flip-flop in my initial post.
Your post doesn’t pass the smell test buddy.
So our immigration problem is based on legal immigrants?
I’ve heard stupid before, but words fail me on this one.
Another ‘conservative’ who sees no reason to stop the invasion.
The left and the GOP are both bad for our well being
