How consercative is expanding the H1-b visa program by 500%?

How conservative is actually voting for cloture on TPA which would give Obama carte blanche to negotiate another POS trade agreement and only 50 votes to pass it in the Senate? If you vote for cloture you might as well vote yes.

How conservative is your immigration policy when you serially repeat the phrase “we have to secure the border then have a conversation about what to do with the illegals that are here”?

How conservative or even bright is it to vote for the Corker bill which basically guts the Senate’s right to ratify treaties?

You need to quit worrying about Trumps positions and worry about Teddy’s.

“is expanding the H1-b visa program by 500%”

It is common knowledge that Cruz used that amendment for expanding the H1B visa to show the hypocrisy of the democrats and as a poison pill to the legislation. Even Rush, Levin, Hannity, Sessions all attribute the death of the amnesty bill to Cruz and his poison pill. Besides H1B visas are LEGAL immigration and not illegal immigration.

“How conservative is actually voting for cloture on TPA”

Voting for cloture is not the same thing as voting for TPA. Cruz voted against TPA, but wanted to end the endless wish lists that democrats were adding to the TPA bill. Cruz did the right thing.

Trump supported TARP, continued subsidies, the bailouts. The problem is that Trump STILL supports them. That is the difference.

“How conservative is your immigration policy”

Cruz called for the wall, electronic surveillance, and more LEOs since 2011. Cruz is ON RECORD long before Trump ever mentioned the wall. Cruz’s stance has NEVER changed.

Trump is ON RECORD advocating for amnesty and bringing Dreamers to Trump towers as a sign of support. Trump also criticized Romney as being too harsh on illegals simply because Romney supported self-deportation.

“You need to quit worrying about Trumps positions”

Actually, I think it is my duty to question Trump’s liberal positions, especially since most have not changed. Cruz has been very consistent and conservative despite Trump supporters attempting to spin the truth to suit their anti-Cruz agenda.

Cruz has also never supported gay marriage, gun bans, abortion (including partial birth abortions), but Trump has and, in some cases, still does.

I can handle a few mistakes or even a few policy changes, if properly justified, but I have a hard time believing Trump changed EVERY one of his policy positions from liberal to conservative within a few years and just in time for the election. That is too convenient. Only a fool would not question Trump and most conservatives are not fools.
