You're presumably speaking about Gov Scott Walker, the guy who has (rightfully so it seems) staked a claim to the right (and it WAS right) of Cruz?
You make those who like Cruz into groupies and morons.
I wish Walker had gone all the way and called for a reduction in legal immigration. But you’re right, just by saying that the interests of Americans should be considered, and that the reflex/default position shouldn’t necessarily be ever-more legal immigration, that put Walker to the right of Cruz on legal immigration. And it put him firmly in the mainstream of the views held by Republican voters and Americans overall.
To be fair, Cruz has been mostly good and consistent on illegal immigration. And to be fair, he’s been consistent on legal immigration, but he’s been consistently bad because he apparently supports unending and increasing mass legal immigration.
Also to be fair, Walker has not been consistent on illgal immigration, and I don’t trust him on it. And he hasn’t always taken a more populist tone on legal immigration. He has made comments in the past suggesting he too would support huge increases in legal immigration. But from he’s saying now it seems as though he has actually thought about the issue and changed his mind, and that should be commended.
I like Cruz. I’ll vote for him if he wins the nomination. But it seems some of his supporters take any criticism of him very personally. I mean, are we not supposed to notice that he’s so liberal on legal immigration?
