I’m not familiar with Roberts’ immigration stance. What is it, and what makes him “more conservative” than my Sen Cruz on this?

Roberts has Kobach on his campaign committee. Cruz and Lee don’t. Roberts hasn’t come out for massive increases in legal immigration. Roberts has voted against every amnesty bill from 1986 onwards.

“The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight,” he said during a recent visit to El Paso.

I’ve introduced one amendment to double the cap of legal immigration from 675,000 to 1.3 million. Another, to take the high-tech H1-B visas that are coming in and to increase them by 500%, from 65,000 to 325,000
