Ted Cruz was a vocal supporter of expanding HB1 visas as recently as 2013, advocating for the expansion of these visas by 500%. He has argued for the expansion of these visas both on the Senate floor and in the media, but under pressure from Donald Trump for the votes of anti immigration Republicans, Cruz has now proposed that we suspend the program and investigate it for abuse. He says there is “report after report after report of big companies abusing the HB1 programâ€. His 180 on this issue is a direct result of the rise of Donald Trump, which seems to have made most of the Republican candidates go a little crazy.
H1B and immigration in general is Cruz’s achilles heel.
He clearly HAS flipped on the issue. And as far as Mexican or South American immigration in general, he identifies with it: how could he not?
Trump filled the vacuum that the Hate Americans RINO gang created: he went after the 50 year immigration disaster.
Now the followers are changing position and pretending to be fervent about it.
But we know who lead on the issue.
