I’m glad to see you are finally getting curious about Cruz’s position on immigration.

I know its hard to accept that Trump and Cruz have almost the same immigration positions. Trump is also for a path to a legal status. Those are his words. Not citizenship. Cruz has said the exact same thing except the Gang of Eight language which Cruz says he won’t fight calls for GREEN CARDS not just the work permits.

Then in 13 years they can apply for citizenship. So actually it is a path to citizenship if you go by the Gang of Eight language.

A green card is a “permanent resident alien” status which gives the holder all the rights of a US citizen except voting. You can get SS, medicare, get a Fannie Mae, or FHA loan on a home and on and on.

I’m not saying Trump won’t agree with this but he has not commented on it yet.

Cruz wants 700 miles of fencing, Trump wants a wall/fence along the whole border. (about 2,000 miles)

Trump is not so generous about the H1-B visas. He wants all the jobs going to Americans. So do I.

All in all the two candidates Cruz and Trump have the most conservative positions on immigration of any of the likely or declared candidates.
