See that "Pro-Establishment" thing makes you look stupid. I've been talking about this for months on FR. When even National Review is defending Cruz's bonafides, you have to wonder whether or not they see in Cruz the last answer to Donald Trump if Ben Carson falters. What's really deranged is accepting the whole "Cruz was lying back then and didn't really mean anything he said, in any interview, anywhere" line of argument.
CHUCK TODD: You still didn't say what you’d do with the 11 million.
TED CRUZ: Well, my view is first, we secure the borders and solve the problem of illegal immigration. And then I think we can have a conversation about what to do about the people who remain here. I don’t think the American people will accept any solution until we demonstrate step number one, we can secure the border.
CHUCK TODD: So anything's on the table? Potentially deportation or not deportation, but anything’s on the table for the 11 million-
TED CRUZ: I think we should secure the border and then have a conversation at that point. Stop using the Washington approach of I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. The American people aren’t going for it.

These kinds of replies by Ted Cruz don't square with the idea that Cruz never supported the granting of legal status. We shouldn't have to vote for someone first to find out what they'll do about the illegals already here.
Sure thing u win. I give up.
