Give it up.
Establishment will get another establishment nominee if conservatives and the rest don’t reject their ALinsky attack on Cruz. The establishment will burn it all down for Hillary. Cruz is solidly against amnesty, no if’s and’s or but’s about it.
Give it up, honesty is not something that Cruzer’s value in a candidate anymore.
This is from a site called “ratherbiased”?
Doubling down are we?
I don’t know who said what but if you did not apply for being here, then GTFO ...

Cruz voted no.
WHO GIVES A RIP?
RUBIO WAS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE GANG OF EIGHT!
Funny. Rubio is trying to say Cruz supported his amnesty bill and then attack him for it.
This generation of politicians are dumber than a box of rocks.
Ted Cruz did say he support the gang of 8 bill if they would add a provision that would bar those granted amnesty from voting for 25 years. He only did it to prove the point that amnesty was all about creating millions of new registered Democrats. He was right the Democrats shot down his provision.
Obammie and Grandma Clinton support open borders for radical Islamoterrorist so whats the point? I guess we can let the Mexicans and Muzzies fight over this joint. Americans don’t seem to shive a git about this country. They’re wrapped up with taking selfies of themselves standing in line to see Star Wars.
We don’t care that his competitors are trying to drag him down. Texas conservatives are proud of Ted Cruz.
I was paying attention then. Were you? Cruz was a vocal critic of the Gang of 8 and introduced his amendments to “strengthen” the bill in a way that put its sponsors on the spot as to their real intent.
He voted against the bill.
Just more confirmation that Rubio is a lying little prick.
Nobody who has been paying attention to the records of Cruz and RUbio, believe that their records are anywhere near the same— It is laughable-— Rubio was a member of the gang of eight and Cruz fought this betrayal by Rubio as much as humanly possible....
No, he did not.
Here is Senator Cruzâs position as of June 2013:
âThis Gang of Eight bill is a disaster. It is the exact same thing we saw in 1986. The last big immigration reform was in 1986, and the federal government told the American people, weâre gonna grant amnesty for the three million people who are here illegally. And in exchange for that weâre actually gonna secure the borders. Weâre gonna solve illegal immigration, and the problem is gonna go away.
âNow, we saw what happened. The amnesty happened, the borders never got secured, and now three decades later, instead of three million people, itâs 11 million people.
â11 million, 12 million. We donât have an exact number, but it is three to four times bigger than what it was in 1986, and weâre hearing the exact same empty promises. What the Gang of Eight bill does is it grants legalization now. It takes everyone whoâs here illegally and says, âYou’re legal,â and then just like in 1986 it promises, âsometime in the future, trust us, wink-wink, weâll secure the border.â I donât think the American people are that foolish. You know, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. If this bill is enacted, it will make the problem worse. If this bill is enacted, in another decade or two weâre gonna be back here not with 11 million, but with 20 million or 30 million people here illegally. This is a broken system. I think what Americans want is fix the problem, stop playing political games, actually secure the border and make a legal immigration system that works.
âWell, the Democrats want this for pure politics. Chuck Schumer was very candid in the Senate Judiciary Committee when he said, âIf there is no citizenship, there can be no reform.âàThis is all about their endeavor. They want to grant amnesty, and they hope to get a lot more Democratic voters, or they want this to be voted down and use it as a political issue in 2014 and 2016.
âOn the Republican side, sadly, a lot of the support of it is political as well. You know, after 2012, all of the Washington political consultants and all the mainstream media came to Republicans and said, âYouâve got to do better with Hispanics, and the way to do better with Hispanics is to embrace amnesty.â And, look, a lot of Republicans in Washington were scared. I gotta tell you, I think that political argument is complete nonsense. If you look at the last time we enacted amnesty in 1986, the next election was 1988, the Republican share of the Hispanic vote went down. It is not the case â Hispanics are not the single-issue, monolithic voters.âÂ
I see nothing there that is incompatible with what he is saying now. And furthermore, Cruz (with a couple of others) led the fight against the bill â and put up a petition against it.
Meanwhile, here is Donald Trumpâs position as of earlier this year:
(July 26)
âNow, a lot of these people are helping us, whether itâs the grapes, or whether itâs jobs, and sometimes itâs jobs, in all fairness, I love our country, but sometimes itâs jobs that a citizen of the United States doesnât want to do. I mean, there are jobs that a lot of people donât want to do. I want to move them out, and weâre going to move them back in.
âIâve been giving it so much thought, you know you have a â on a humanitarian basis, you have a lot of deep thought going into this, believe me. I actually have a big heart...I mean, a lot of people donât understand that, but the DREAMers, itâs a tough situation, weâre going to do something, and one of the things weâre going to do is expedite â when somebodyâs terrific, we want them back here.
âI have to tell you: Some of these people have been here, theyâve done a good job. You know, in some cases, sadly, theyâve been living under the shadows. ... If somebodyâs been outstanding, we try and work something out.â
[The article continues] This is in line with what CNN’s Chris Moody reported Trump saying during a press conference in Chicago at the end of June. When asked what he would do about the illegal immigrants already residing in the country once the border was secured, Trump replied, ââ¬Ågive them a path,â according to Moody.

(As of July 14)

Trump: You have to give them a path. You have 20 million, 30 million, nobody knows what it is. It used to be 11 million. Now, today I hear itâs 11, but I donât think itâs 11. I actually heard you probably have 30 million. You have to give them a path, and you have to make it possible for them to succeed. You have to do that.
(As of August 10 â remember all these dates on the Trump quotes are THIS YEAR)

âAsked about his immigration ideas on CNN, Trump was a mess, beginning with the old âjobs Americans wonât doâ canard favored by open-borders proponents (a canard because it always leaves out the relevant qualifier: âat current wagesâ), then suggesting that we should deport the millions of illegals who are already here only to turn around and bring them back (âI want to move them out, and weâre going to move them back in, and let them be legalâ). This process would include those brought here as young children, who will be deported and recycled based on the criterion of whether they are â Trumpâs word â âterrific.â What might constitute a federal terrificness standard remains unclear. âWeâre going to do something,â Trump said. âIâve been giving it so much thought. You know you have a, on a humanitarian basis, you have a lot of deep thought going into this, believe me. I actually have a big heart.â
Deporting some 11 million illegals who have for many years evaded deportation only to reimport them under an expedited legal immigration system, the contours of which currently are undefined, and then granting them some sort of permanent legal status is simply another variation on amnesty, and a complicated, expensive, and thick-headed version of amnesty at that. Like the proposed reform program of 2007, which would have purportedly required illegals to be present in their country of origin when applying for legal status, this isnât just amnesty â itâs also amnesty-laundering.â
These are pro-amnesty positions Trump took EARLIER THIS YEAR (2015)! By contrast, Ted Cruz fought the amnesty bill in the U.S. Senate two years ago.
Are you really that gullible?
And if so, shouldn’t you focus on Global Warming?
I see you’re still trying to sow discord here.
Maybe we should ask Jose Medellin who is right in this controversy?
Can you research that for us Ratherbiaeed?
As an illegal alien I think jose’s opinion is really important.
If Teflon Don can do and say some of the things he has done and said, this should be a cakewalk for Cruz.
