Thanks for providing that. It was back in 2014, which is good because it indicates it’s not just a campaign position.

Listen, when you wake up in the morning, give thanks to Ted Cruz, the man who fought hardest to stop the Gang of Eight and unconditional amnesty and citizenship for 12 million illegals, 12 million new Democratic Party voters and a permanent Democratic majority. I don't remember Donald Trump letting out as much as a squeak during that long, bitter hard fought battle to kill amnesty. Ted Cruz was the hero of that battle.

That was Cruz's job, and he was not alone. Trump was not in the senate. That analogy is useless. And if you want to talk about what Cruz fought for in the senate, lets talk about TPA. Cruz voted for it against the advice of Sen Sessions. Even going so far as to say Sessions was wrong on TPA/TPP and taking out a full page add in the nyt promoting TPA. That was the point I stopped being a Cruz supporter. He is going to have to do more than put out a immigration policy paper that is slippery at best when it comes to deportation. If Cruz intends to deport all or most illegal alias, why not come out and be clear about it? Why the obvious non-committal political mumbo jumbo on deportations?

Trump was not in the Senate? Hey that never stopped millions of Americans from speaking out strongly against the the proposed amnesty Bill or jamming the congressional switchboards in a desperate attempt to stop this heinous bill from passing. Trump was notable for his utter lack of participation in that fight, private citizen or not. Without the courage and leadership of people like Ted Cruz, the amnesty fight would have been over long before people like Trump decided to run for president.
So far Trump is all talk. He hasn't done a single thing to fight ANY illegal, unconstitutional, lawless executive action by the Obama regimen. Heck Trump even supported Obama’s illegal “Dream Act” which gives amnesty to up to 2.5 million illegals. On any range of issues including Obamacare, gay marriage, abortion etc, Trump is even more liberal than Mitt Romney.

That's just not true. Please don't tell me you believe hearsay from one illegal alien. If you have evidence, please present it. But if you are basing your accusation on nothing more the an illegal's statement, then I have solid evidence you are a Martin, solid by your standards anyway.

Some of the folks on here bashing Cruz need a reminder. If not for Ted Cruz leading the fight against the Gang of 8 bill, Amnesty would be the law of the land.
