My only agenda regarding Cruz is to point out the truth that he is liberal when it comes to legal immigration. We already admit over a million legal immigrants each year, most of them natural Democrats, yet Cruz wants to increase those current levels. To be fair, he wants a completely unneeded massive 500% increase in H1B visas, and one could argue that group is less likely to be future Democrats than all of those coming via family reunification visas, Diversity Lottery visas, refugee visas, aslyum visas, etc. But why is Cruz fine with such large numbers from those very pro-Democrat groups? Why not support a reduction in those?
I’m not sure what the point is on legislatures versus the executive in making law. The difference is clear, but Cruz currently is a legislator. In that role he cast a good vote against the terrible Gang of Eight bill, but during the debate over it he also voted against an amendment from Senator Sessions to cap legal immigration at an absurly high and generous level. He explained his vote by saying he wants to increase legal immigration.
And if Cruz ever does become President, then he would have a big part to play in the fate of any legislation. If a bill made it to him that would not grant amnesty, but would massively increase legal immigration, would he sign it into law? I bet he would, thus hastening the demographic destruction of conservatism. If a bill reducing legal immigration made it to his desk, would he sign or veto it? I bet he’d veto it.
I don’t want this to be a thing where any criticism of Cruz is taken as total opposition to him. Other than legal immigration, I like Cruz. If Cruz is the nominee, I’ll vote for him. It’s just that even if he is elected President I don’t think he’ll do anything to slow or halt the immigration-driven demographic shift of the nation towards the left.
Yep. Your agenda is showing.
Doesn't matter. I'm willing to admit that I have an agenda, and I'm supporting Cruz with money so that the media and the GOP-E and people like you don't get to decide who the conservative candidate is.
Get used to it.
I'm supporting Cruz with time and money NOW. Not later after someone else is the candidate.
Now, when it matters, and I have a say.
