I just gave you an exact quote for him. Do you have a reading comprehension problem?
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.
He clearly wants to expedite all the rest back in.
As someone who has actually issued visas, most of them would not qualify for a tourist visa, let alone an immigrant visa. Almost all of them have committed other crimes besides entering illegally. They have worked illegally, committed ID theft, lied on employment forms, evaded taxes, stolen or created SSNs, etc. Once they leave, they will find it hard to get back if we enforce our laws.
As someone who has worked on the immigration issue for over 8 years lobbying on the Hill, I have developed a major BS detector. If I could, I would force Cruz to come clean on the issue by asking him specific questions to flush him out. I have followed him closely ever since he ran for the Senate.
Trump has presented the best immigration potions paper of any candidate for President for decades. We all know it was drated by Jeff Sessions. Unfortunately, Trump undermines it with his off-cuff remarks. If he were to stick with the points in the paper, he would win in a walk.
The most important part of the paper, Put American Workers First, is not being discussed. I know why the MSM, Dems, and GOPe do not want it discussed, but I am at a loss why Trump is not pushing it more. It is revolutionary and would attract votes from traditional Dem constituencies. Perhaps, he will mention it when he addresses the black Chamber of Commerce in a few weeks.

The quote:
And of course in the quote Cruz doesn't say that he is for the work permit part of the bill.
I think the reading comprehension problem is yours.
Sure, almost ALL of them have indeed worked here illegally and evaded taxes.
So why doesn't the "tough-talking" Trump also mention those people as not being the "good ones"?
He doesn't.
He certainly singles out the "rapists" and the "drug dealers" as not being the "good ones", which is great, but they are only a small minority of the 20 million illegals.
