Cruz was working on Bush’s immigration plan, of course it’ll reflect Bush’s “compassionate conservative” BS.
In 1999 Memo, Ted Cruz Took Milder Tone on Immigration
ACTUAL MEMO:
I think we need to consider all options when trying to resolve ... What to do with the millions of illegal immigrants already living here, .... But, right now, I dont think amnesty is the answer. (emphasis supplied)
And 13 years later Donald Trump took a FAR milder tone on Immigration.
In June of 2012 Trump was on Fox News and praised Romney’s approach, saying that he was handling the immigration good, has shown compassion and wants a more permanent approach. But first he advocated permanent residency for Illegal immigrants
For people that have been here for years that have been hard-workers, have good jobs, they’re supporting their family and it’s very, very tough to just say By the way, 22 years, you have to leave. Get out.
I am one of the world’s very conservative people, but I have to tell you on a human basis, how do you throw somebody out that’s lived in this country for twenty years.
He also accused Republicans of being “mean spirited” in their approach to illegal immigration
1999 was 16 years ago!
In 1999. Ted Cruz was 26. Probably just finishing law school
In 1992 I helped start a Spanish Telemundo TV station. Worked alongside some of those great illegals. Then some of them gasoline bombed my offices and could have killed me. Latter in 2005 had my storage raided by illegals I had befriended.
In short, attitudes evolve with better information.
In 1999 so did I.

In 1999 I wrote a paper for English class. I probably got a B.
This isn’t 1999 you scum bag NYT pansies.
16 years ago a young Ted Cruz advised AGAINST amnesty. Compare that consistency with Trump.
And I heard that Ted might have pulled the pigtails of a girl on the playground one time when he was in 1st Grade. I’m pretty sure that disqualifies Ted from being President.
Look I’m a Trump gal but seriously? 1999? You’re grasping with this.
Let me guess that he was working for Bush and was speaking for the administration at that point.
We all remember the huge rallies against Bush’s amnesty ideas right...
In 99 Obama wasn’t bringing them in by the trainload.
Joined FR on Dec. 13 and have posted two articles, anti Cruz and have made no
responses to any article posted in the forum. Is it you job to post anti Cruz articles?
How nice of you to join 6 days ago to post previously posted, immaterial drivel.
Enjoy your (likely and hopefully short) stay.

Maybe you would prefer to trust someone who hasn't learned anything in the last 16 years. I wouldn't.
