Sorry, but the factual information shows that Cruz has been all over the map on illegal immigration.
Are you aware that in 2013 Cruz offered these three Amendments to a Senate bill?
1. Give green cards to illegal aliens
2. Up the H-1B visas to 500% of what they were (and still are)
3. Double the immigration quota across the board.
Cruz has had a come to Jesus moment on immigration, but I don’t trust him on it at all.
About four months ago, during an interview Ted tried to play tough guy on immigration. One answer revealed everything.
He at first said, they all have to go. When the interviewer asked if it was at all possible if they could stay, Ted actually blurted out a way could be found.
His heart IS NOT in his immigration plan as now stated.
He has always backed a green card solution. His interviews confirm this.
So no, he’s not better than Trump.
His H-1B plan wasn’t even reversed until a month or so ago.
Yes, I;’m fully aware of that. I’m also aware that he’s pledged to build a wall (as Trump has) and that he’s the guy who stopped the Gang of Eight bill.
Trump has also said both that they have to go and that “the good ones” get to stay here.
I believe you’re accepting the media’s version of the amendments. Do you know what a poison pill is? It’s like introducing an amendment to the minimum wage increase to raise it to $50 per hour. None of us would actually support that. But if you can get that amendment attached, it will kill the bill.
Cruz is one of just two Senators to vote to halt immigration from 30+ Middle Eastern Muslim countries where the Brotherhood’s affiliates are rampant. One of two! (A shameful comment about the state of Congress.)
Look at the Trump quotes I’ve posted on this thread and others. He flat-out says that “you have to give them a path [to citizenship].” That’s the position of the Washington cartel. Trump has just changed that recently, as part of his campaign. I don’t trust Trump on this issue.
