Re: “”Cruz is the only major candidate who has never supported or endorsed amnesty.”

Completely false.

From the New York Times, 12 September 2013...

Ted Cruz: “The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight,” [Cruz] said during a recent visit to El Paso. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/13/us/cruz-tries-to-claim-the-middle-ground-on-immigration.html?_r=1

According to the text of the Gang of Eight Amnesty Bill, once an illegal immigrant receives the “underlying work permit,” he may apply at any time for a Green Card.

Ted Cruz's record on LEGAL immigration is even more disturbing.

Cruz advocates a 5X increase for H1-B work visas. Cruz advocates an annual 650,000 Green Card increase. Cruz advocates special increases for Mexican immigrants. Cruz advocates increases for agricultural guest workers.

http://blog.chron.com/texassparkle/2014/01/sen-ted-cruz-on-immigration-reform-fighting-the-establishment-and-the-human-costs-of-illegal-immigration/

Cruz has never called for a reduction in our current level of LEGAL immigration - 1.25 million per year - which is the highest in American history.

Finally, Cruz has never explained why new immigration laws would be vigorously enforced in the future when our current immigration laws have not been enforced for the last 30 years!

Rick Perry on the Record

Question: "But just to be clear: if border security is accomplished, you can envision some sort of path to citizenship for people who are here illegally?"

And Perry's response?

"Sure."

January 3, 2011 - Walker assumes Office of Governor of Wisconsin.

June 27, 2011: Walker Revokes In-state Tuition For Undocumented Students Attending Univ And Colleges In Wisconsin "- On Sunday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) signed his two-year 2011-2013 budget, which included ending in-state tuition for undocumented students attending public universities and colleges. In-state tuition for undocumented students was approved two years ago by former Governor Jim Doyle (D) after the Hispanic community struggled for 10 years to pass it."...

March 2015:“We strongly dispute this account. Governor Walker has been very clear that he does not support amnesty and believes that border security must be established and the rule of law must be followed. His position has not changed, he does not support citizenship for illegal immigrants, and this story line is false,” she announced in an email to journalists Thursday afternoon.”

“I made it clear that for me, if somebody wants to be a citizen, they need to go back to their country of origin, get in line, no preferential treatment,” Walker said. “In terms of what to do beyond that, again, that’s something we got to work with Congress on.”

only one candidate has never changed his position on the topic.

Actually, there are two. Bush has always been an open border or no-border guy.

"Cruz is the only major candidate who has never supported or endorsed amnesty."

There's some idiots here that would contest that statement.
