"And Trump wanted to grant legalization to all the "good" illegals in the country less than a year ago. Cruz's proposal three years ago, even if passed, would have resulted in about half a million legal immigrants. Trump's proposal from less than a year ago would have resulted in 10 million+ illegals being granted legal status. Which one is worse?"

Now there's a load of bovine excrement.

Cruz's legalization scheme had no such qualifiers that would have lead to "about half a million legal immigrants". His H1-B scheme would have caused the unemployment of countless Americans that are still trying to pay off those school loans.

And most ridiculous of all, you assume "the good" Illegals in Trumps plan would include nearly all Illegals.

You have no idea what you are talking about. First off, the H1-B proposal had nothing to do with legalizing illegal immigrants - it was specifically about visas for hi-tech workers. And there was a specific number of visas mentioned in the amendment, 325,000 visas.

And most ridiculous of all, you assume "the good" Illegals in Trumps plan would include nearly all Illegals.

Hey, at the time, the only ones Trump was talking about deporting were "the bad ones", i.e. the criminals. He was talking about legalization for the rest. You may not like it, but facts are facts.
