CHUCK TODD: You still didn't say what you'd do with the 11 million.
TED CRUZ: Well, my view is first, we secure the borders and solve the problem of illegal immigration. And then I think we can have a conversation about what to do about the people who remain here. I don’t think the American people will accept any solution until we demonstrate step number one, we can secure the border.
CHUCK TODD: So anything's on the table? Potentially deportation or not deportation, but anything's on the table for the 11 million--
TED CRUZ: I think we should secure the border and then have a conversation at that point. Stop using the Washington approach of I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. The American people aren’t going for it.

And as recently as 2014, Cruz was STILL endorsing the positions he took during the 2013 Gang of Eight fight, wherein he clearly stated that his goal was to bring illegals "out of the shadows" by granting them RPI and LPR legal status!
None of this is bloody new. When Cruz basically calls Rubio a LIAR, he is lying. When Cruz disputes with Rubio that he never supported legalization, he LIES, then goes around and tells Bloomberg, and now Time magazine, that legalization isn't off the table, on the SAME DAY HE RELEASES AN IMMIGRATION PLAN THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROVE THAT HE DOESN'T SUPPORT LEGALIZATION!
Cruz has been conning us on this issue since day one. He rails against amnesty while redefining it the whole time only as a "pathway to citizenship." For months now, for years now, Cruz has been railing against amnesty, all the while giving different statements to the media saying he'd support legalization!
Actually, it sounds like an adult has entered the room. It’s refreshing to hear sanity and common sense. Go Ted!
For as liberal as everybody says Trump is, ask him what he thinks about a pathway.
