End all mass immigration, this is a silly game everyone is playing about legal/illegal.
The democrats need numbers and they actually prefer legals, because they can vote sooner, and there are so many millions more of them and with an endless supply for the future, since no one seems to care that we become a hell hole of a billion or 2 billion people.
“The GOP” better watch out-because the base hasn’t forgotten nor “shifted” on Immigration.
those immigrants are being brought into USA for a purpose
and it AINT to elect any more R’s
indeed, quite the contrary:
The reason I see for restricting legal immigration is to give the country a chance to assimilate the immigrants. Before 1965, the immigrant pool was restricted to 250,000 people a year, mostly from Europe.
As for illegals, catapult them back to where they originated.
Immigration could drive Sarah Palin to enter this race.
It is completely wrong that Cruz and Lee are selling out America on this.
(unless I misunderstood?)
The GOP needs to support American businesses right here in America, and discourage illegal immigration.
They are not currently taking that stand.
Nobody is currently taking that stand.
Except for the “immigration critic” in the title.
Of course, prior to sometime in the 1920s, legal immigration was somewhat less restricted, as far as I know.

I don’t think it’s correct, either, about Sens Cruz and Lee’s votes.
Here’s another article, from that time, that says the only three (RINO) Republicans voting “yes” were Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and Jeff Flake (Ariz.), who are members of the Gang of Eight, which crafted the bill, and Sen. Orrin Hatch (Utah).
I think Cruz has said he is not for legalization of illegals. He has said that he supported an increase in work visas for immigrants. He has been pretty consistent in his statements.
I don’t agree with Cruz on this. It’s the one thing in the CON column for him. We need a temporary halt on all immigration. We are being overrun and there are way too many. We need to get this sorted out.
I think I’m done.
Sadly, he is. He proposed such in his dealings in the Senate and has intimated as much. However, his official cover is that to state so currently would encourage more illegal crossings, and so his position is not to state so until after the border is secured:
