“Ugh. Quit lying about Cruz. Cruz’s positions are clearly stated on his website. You are misrepresenting him.”
What Ted Cruz does now versus what he actually said and did to put those Mexican laborers in the American coal mines are stark opposites according to many sources, including:

Ted Cruz’s ‘Flat Out Lie’ on Immigration
The Texas senator insists he’s never favored a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants, but many of his old colleagues say that’s not true.
De Posada is a former Director of Hispanic Affairs for the RNC and founder of the Latino Coalition, a conservative Latino organization that worked with the Bush administration unsuccessfully to pass immigration reform. “My criticism is that Cruz can say, ‘Things have changed and I’ve changed my position.’ But don’t sit here and flat out lie that you have never been for legalization when the facts are very clear.â€
The facts, according to De Posada and several Republicans who worked with Cruz in Washington and Texas, are that in Cruz’s past work for Bush and later as a board member of the Washington-based Hispanic Alliance for Prosperity Institute, Cruz helped craft policies to allow undocumented immigrants to stay in the country and pursue legal status.
None of those efforts included granting automatic amnesty to undocumented workers, but it is clear in the minds of his former colleagues that finding a way to offer immigrants a way to remain in the United States and gain legal status was central to the work Cruz did.

Changing or evolving positions are a bit tough for Trump supporters to wield as a weapon against anyone.
Trump trumps all in that regard.
It’s simple.
The fact is that Trump supports touchback amnesty.
The fact is that Cruz supports deporting all illegals.
Saying that Cruz is pro-amnesty is a blatant lie.
Period.
