Look, his position is very clear. He voted against the senate amnesty bill and laid out his own plan to solve the problem.
He cuts all the government benefits to illegal aliens and provides no new path to citizenship. They can apply for a green card but have to go to the back of the line.
Most illegals under his plan will self deport because he eliminates all the magnets. The plan is very detailed and you can find it online.
Now please ask your candidate to clarify this:
Cruz Tries to Claim the Middle Ground on Immigration
“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. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.
“I have said many times that I want to see common-sense immigration reform pass,” he said.

I don’t think any plan that offers some kind of card or status and denies access to citizenship is going to hold up in court when it’s challenged.
They will determine that legally blocking an inhabitant from citizenship while permitting him to labor is tantamount to serfdom/slavery and they’ll overturn it.
That’s both Paul’s and Cruz’s plans.
The ONLY plan I’ll listen to is a simple one point plan: (1) Total control of borders, coasts, visas.
That alone will fix the immigration problem.
