Come on Cruz... clearly state, where do you stand on ILLEGAL amnesty?

He practically stood alone against the Gang of Eight*s amnesty and took a boatload of crap for it. He took the lead in defeating it.

CRUZ PLAN TO STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: SECURE THE BORDER, RESTORE THE RULE OF LAW, AND PROTECT AMERICANS.

One section:

Enforce the law: Restore our commitment to enforcement and public safety and the Rule of Law by rededicating DHS to fully enforcing the law, including through deportations and returns.

During the first five years of the Obama Administration, President Obama removed or returned only 3.8 million illegal entrants. That is a fraction of the removals and returns during the previous five years, and a fraction of what we could accomplish if we had a President who actually forced DHS to do its job and removed politics from an agency charged with law enforcement. As President, I would do just that.

End catch-and-release: Return illegal immigrants who are caught at our borders and ports to their countries of origin.

It's worth a read.

Bull, Jeff Sessions lead the fight in the Senate.

TIME runs a pathetic smear job, and conservatives fall for it, and those who support other candidates try to capitalize on it.

I guess Cruz needs to repeat his stance about once a week to reassure people, because he’s been saying the same thing for years now-—no pathway. He always phrases it the same way, that we have to secure the border first before we discuss anything else, and that’s absolutely true.

Thanks for posting the link to his immigration plan, and for noting that Ted is in favor of deportations. It’s also worth noting that he advocated a border wall as far back as 2011.
