My beef as you call it is that IMHO Cruz is not be be trusted on his sudden ‘seeing the light’. Cruz has a history of shilling for ‘free trade agreements’ and flooding the country with ‘guest workers’.

Cruz supported TPA, then didn’t support TPA, then very sneakily supported adding TPA to an unrelated bill that was guaranteed to pass. Crus says one thing (Now I’m against TPA) but actually works behind the scenes do the opposite, i,e, pass TPA. In this climate giving Obama power to negotiate TPP virtually guarantees that TPP will PASS.

TPP will destroy what little is left of our sovereignty, economy, and job market.

All these so named ‘free trade’ agreements contain sections that over ride our immigration law by guaranteeing x number of guest workers that will be brought into the US regardless of the job situation,

From my perspective Cruz seeing the light is mere political expedience.

Proposing a hearing on 'abuses'

As I said, the weakest elements in a Cruz policy with several stronger protections. Any beef with the Cruz planks I cited in post #48?

So you agree that Cruz' current platform is sound policy? As for trust, there are no perfect candidates in this race: Trump has changed position on a great many things since the 2012 election cycle - when he called Romney's policy of self-deportation for illegals "maniacal" (and some of his positions remain liberal, e.g., everybody gets health coverage).
