Build a wall instead of massive amnesty plan
Q [to Sen. Rubio]: You describe a very long path, but does that path end at citizenship?
RUBIO: After ten years in probationary status, where all they have is a permit, I personally am open to allowing people to apply for a green card. That may not be a majority position in my party, but that's down the road. You can't even begin that process until you prove to people--not just pass a law that says you're gonna bring illegal immigration under control--you're gonna have to do it and prove to people that it's working.
CRUZ: There was a time for choosing, as Reagan put it. There was a battle over amnesty and some chose, like Senator Rubio, to stand with Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer and support a massive amnesty plan. Others chose to stand with the American people and secure the border. And I tell you, if I'm elected president, we will secure the border. We will triple the border patrol. We will build a wall that works and I'll get Donald Trump to pay for it.

Despite the Cruz-crafted tough talking anti-illegal propaganda you posted. Rafael went to the border to hand out Gift Baskets to illegals. His actions speak much louder then his words.
Ted’s not credible on the subject of immigration. I don’t believe a word he said. What he actually DID, was to offer an amendment to the Gang of Eight bill that would have allowed the tens of millions of illegals residing in the country to remain here, while giving them quasi legal status.
His too cute remark at the end of those quoted passages demonstrates what a phony he is.
