I wish folks would stop saying Cruz supports amnesty when he has NEVER supported amnesty and has a voting record to prove it. He said NO AMNESTY EVER for anyone here illegally.

How does Cruz define amnesty? Here is what he said about how to deal with the lawbreakers:

Asked about what to do with the people here illegally, however, he stressed that he had never tried to undo the goal of allowing them to stay. “The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight,” he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.

Besides barring citizenship while instituting some level of legalization for those here already, Mr. Cruz has proposed increasing the number of green cards awarded annually, to 1.35 million from 675,000. He also wants to eliminate the per-country limit that he said left applicants from countries like Mexico, China and India hamstrung when they tried to gain legal entry to this country.

Cruz supports legalization, which is amnesty. I wish folks would do a little more investigating about how the politicians define amnesty. You don't need a path to citizenship to be an amnesty. Legalization to stay and work here is amnesty.
