Cruz is not “perfectly good” on immigration and Amnesty.

In 2000, he helped write the policy paper that became the Bush-McCain Amnesty in 2006.

In 2012, while running for Senate in Texas, he publicly campaigned for more foreign work visas for Texas farmers and ranchers.

In 2013, while giving a speech in El Paso after the “Gang of Eight” Amnesty bill passed in the Senate, Cruz said he would have voted for the Amnesty if it required “Certification” for border security, and if the “path to citizenship” was removed.

Those are both weasel GOP fallback positions because everyone knows “Certification” means nothing, and everyone knows the Courts, the RINO’s, and the Democrats will eventually find some way to give citizenship to those who have been Amnestied.

Finally, Cruz has never even suggested that our current insane LEGAL immigration policy should be changed.

That policy is 750,000 new citizens each year (80% of them vote for Democrats), 1.1 million new legal residents each year, and more than 1 million foreign work visas each year.

None of this matters as long as state Republicans allow open primaries that let Democrat and independent voters pick our nominees.

Would you have him physically deport 40 or 50 million people? How? Explain to us all how that gets done in the current climate. We’re all ears. And you’re against LEGAL immigration, too? How did your ancestors get here?
