Think about what you just said.
Under Cruz, the illegals get work permits and are turned into a permanent underclass. There is ZERO doubt in my mind that they are granted citizenship by some judge that determines after living here X number of years, paying taxes, etc, that you are a citizen and have a right to vote.
Under Walker, they have to apply for citizenship, get the background check, the testing, etc. If they committed crimes, they do not get citizenship.
Now, which is better?
I agree that Cruz’s position is a sneak into citizenship.
But Walker’s is a guarantee.
Two bad choices—I still easily go with Cruz, who is at least for tightening up illegal immigration in other clear (as opposed to vague) ways.
