From the article:
“I think we should address these issues one at a time,” Cruz said, arguing that there is consensus for securing the border and reforming the legal immigration system, but stopped short of saying what he would do for those illegal immigrants currently in the country.
From OnTheIssues.com: Ted Cruz's stance on immigration:
•End Obama's illegal amnesty via Congress' checks & balances. (Nov 2014)
•Defund amnesty; and refuse any nominees until rescinded. (Nov 2014)
•No path to citizenship for 1.65 million illegals in Texas. (Oct 2012)
•Give police more power to ask about immigration status. (Jun 2012)
•Boots on the ground, plus a wall. (Apr 2012)
•Triple the size of the Border Patrol. (Mar 2012)
•Strengthen border security and increase enforcement. (Jul 2011)

I believe concerns center around legal immigration and his stance on vastly expanding the number of H1-B Visas.
As one person said, Cruz position seems to be closing the border and opening the airport... It is the opening the airport part that concerns some of us.
