Which Republican presidential candidates support amnesty? I have analyzed all the major Republican presidential candidates (except Ben Carson and Rick Sanctorum, who are long shots, and Donald Trump, who has undocumented hair).
I have found that all the major presidential candidates support amnesty for illegal aliens, except for one. Can you guess which one?

Probably all of them, since it’s the unstated party platform.
See my tagline.
I’m actually glad Cruz is the only one on the right side of this issue. It makes it very easy to convince conservatives who to coalesce around, since it is probably the most critical issue of this election.
Sadly, Cruz is for amnesty too—as long as it’s not done unilaterally by Obama.
He says he doesn’t support giving citizenship to the 20 million-plus illegals here today, but he would legalize them.
(And of course, once they were legalized, citizenship wouldn’t be far behind—and then they’d be tripled by chain migration.
Yep.
bush, rubio, walker, paul supporters all need to be aware of this and need to be convinced that being pro-amnesty is ‘political suicide’ as well as a major part of turning America into a third-world rathole.
theres no other way to look at it.
Ted Cruz is the ONLY REAL CONSERVATIVE in the race.
respectfully thats not correct. Cruz is on record as being categorically opposed to amnesty and illegal immigration in any form.
Respectfully that is not correct. He has said he’s for legalization, though not citizenship.
He’s against ‘executive amnesty’, as opposed to being against amnesty in general.
The day before the primary: 0.
The day after: all.
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reformLatinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]
[but he's not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
Ted Cruz:
-End Obama’s illegal amnesty via Congress’ checks & balances. (Nov 2014)
-Defund amnesty, and refuse any nominees until rescinded. (Nov 2014)
-No path to citizenship for 1.65 million illegals in Texas. (Oct 2012)
-Give police more power to ask about immigration status. (Jun 2012)
-Boots on the ground, plus a wall. (Apr 2012)
-Triple the size of the Border Patrol. (Mar 2012)
-Strengthen border security and increase enforcement. (Jul 2011)
Walker has been trying to dance around the amnesty questions, flip - flopped and in my view he is lying to America.
Probably all of them, since it’s the unstated party platform.

We’re looking at it from the wrong side. FIRST, SECURE THE BORDERS! Then decide who stays and who goes. Some of them are keepers. Many of them are throwbacks. But throwin’ ‘em back now will just result in their slippin’ back in under another name.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Yep—Cruz is the best candidate, but even he would support amnesty such that our country will be toppled by Leftist immigrant voters (and, sadly, low-skill welfare recipients).

I live in TX and voted for Cruz. I’ve heard him condemn all illegal amnesty on numerous occasions. I have never heard him support anything, but legal immigration.
Can you provide some documentation or legitimate source that shows that he does actually support amnesty for illegals??
