Cruz does Not support a pathway to citizenship. The most he is willing to concede is that they can apply for a legal permit to work. This does not give them citizenship and he says that illegals should not be rewarded with citizenship. It’s Walker who has advocated them paying a $100 fine and then a pathway to citizenship which is insulting to all American citizens, especially those who came legally.
Even Ike’s “draconian” (by modern standards) Operation Wetback had a guest worker program as a major component.
