Despite Cruz's attacks on his party's donor class and establishment, the Texas senator Ted Cruz's GOP campaign has received $37 million from just four donors. The Wilks family of Cisco, Texas, New York hedge fund tycoon Bob Mercer, Texas energy investor Toby Neugebauer and Illinois manufacturing moguls Dick and Liz Uihlein.

His BC:

Ted Cruz has close association with the Bushes. He worked on George W. Bush^s 2000 presidential campaign as a domestic policy adviser and served in the Bush administration as associate deputy attorney general in the Justice Department and director of policy planning in the Federal Trade Commission. Time magazine article:
Time magazine had one of many reports clarifying his immigration posturing:

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz declined to close the door to a potential pathway to legal status for the 11 million people in the U.S. illegally Friday, saying he wouldn"t elaborate on his plans for them until after the border is secure.

Seeking to carve out a space between real estate mogul Donald Trump, who is calling for the forcible deportation of those in the U.S. illegally, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who co-authored the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform bill that included a pathway to citizenship, Cruz would not explicitly rule out a pathway to legal status for the undocumented.

That, plus his previous support for a huge increase in H1B visas, stymied him as he tried to launch an attack on Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who was a co-author and major mover on the Gang of 8 immigration bill that passed the Senate overwhelmingly. On one level, Rubio" team is simply pointing out that if anti-immigration types want the real deal, Cruz is not the one. Rubio, of course, benefits if Cruz cannot capture the anti-immigration segment of the electorate to whom Donald Trump panders. On another level, however, what is at stake is a larger argument about Cruz's character. Essentially. the argument goes: He is not a hard-liner; he's an opportunist whose positions are no different, and in some cases worse, than those of other Republicans.

On immigration, for example, the entire anti-"amnesty" crusade is a canard unless, like Trump, you want to round people up and kick them out. Otherwise, you are exactly where other candidates are fix the border, reform legal immigration and then regularize the 11 million here. Cruz spends his time excoriating other Republicans for squishiness, but when you get down to it, he's exactly where they are” unwilling to undertake a massive, expensive, intrusive deportation program. In other words, he's not an anti-immigration extremist; he's just posturing as one.

What do we know about Rafael Eduardo Cruz? He was born in a foreign country.

He was admitted to Harvard only because of Affirmative Action Admissions Policies. He was given good grades by Liberal professors because of his race, even though his work was substandard. He has kept his college transcripts secret for reasons he will not admit. He has had a shameful Senate record, accomplishing nothing, not voting, not showing up for work. Very few from his 99 colleagues in Senate endorsed Cruz for president. These are the people he works with. Senator Sessions & Governor Palin saw right through phony Cruz, and endorsed Trump!

Cruz never had a real job in the private sector. He has been cashing government checks all his adult life.

“you are exactly where other candidates are fix the border, reform legal immigration and then regularize the 11 million here. Cruz spends his time excoriating other Republicans for squishiness, but when you get down to it, he’s exactly where they are” unwilling to undertake a massive, expensive, intrusive deportation program. In other words, he’s not an anti-immigration extremist; he’s just posturing as one.”

I don’t think we can truly secure the border.

What we must and can secure, if we act fast, is most of our money and property.

What I propose is an immigration amnesty/ Constitutional amendment deal:

1. Dreamers, Anchor Baby parents, and five-year+ full taxpayers, with exceptions (felons, those ordered deported, those who arrived after 2008, etc.) would get:
no deportation of qualified persons for 90 days, plus three days for each state that has ratified all of the Constitutional amendments we want.

2. We would get Constitutional amendments that would:
A. cap income/property taxation
B. bar federal wealth/property taxation
C. require federal benefits/welfare to be paid from a capped flat rate income tax
to be levied and collected on at least 90% of all federally taxable income
(plus FICA/Medicare taxes for medical/retirement benefits for people over age 65 of up to 10% total, equally paid by employee/employer
plus self-employment taxes no higher on a total federal income taxation basis)
[no more selectively plucking the pockets of a minority to buy votes]
D. limit the types benefits/welfare that may be provided by the federal government
[if it isn’t potentially life-saving, it isn’t allowed]
E. limit federal regulation of employee compensation to that of a uniform national minimum wage
[no more buying votes at employer expense]
F. restrain the judicial branch

3. To retain the right to stay, an immigrant would have to:
A. apply within 12 months
B. agree to make a donation (to be non-dischargable by federal bankruptcy law) of 10% of their pre-tax income
to the Social Security Trust Fund for 19 years, starting in 2020, and then pay by estimated tax due dates
C. obtain high-quality health insurance coverage, meeting applicable US legal requirements, without government subsidy, except via a small employer/small employers under general law, within 12 months
D. maintain (thereafter), except for involuntary gaps caused by state-licensed insurer financial defaults, health insurance coverage, meeting applicable US legal requirements, without government subsidy, while the PPACA is on the books
E. pay all standard and expedited immigration fees within 18 months
F. pay a $2,000 amnesty service charge within 24 months
E. pay all US income tax amounts past due, get privately audited at their expense and then pass an IRS audit, all within 36 months
F. pay a one-time, $5,000, non-refundable fee, if they wish to drive a motor vehicle on a US highway, prior to doing so

An immigrant would lose the right to stay:
1. for failing to apply and pay in a timely manner
2. for failing to timely obtain/maintain high-quality health coverage, except for involuntary gaps, while the PPACA is on the books
3. for knowingly taking a government health insurance subsidy after 2106, if not from small business employment under general law
4. for unknowingly taking a government health insurance subsidy and not returning it within 90 days of demand
5. prior to full ratification by twenty states, working for more than $20 per week (plus room/board/estimated tax fully paid/federally untaxed/health care benefits), except pay from agricultural work on farms
6. in the period after full ratification of all the associated amendments by twenty states
a. working more hours in a week than the number of states that have ratified all the associated amendments
b. getting paid more than $6 per week/per state that has ratified all associated amendments (plus room/board/estimated tax fully paid/federally untaxable/health care benefits), except
A. pay from agricultural work on farms or
B. the excess amount/amounts over $50, donated to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation within 10 days
C. or a smaller amount/amounts verifiably donated to a qualified federal tax deductible charity/charities within 10 days
7. getting paid more than $300/week gross, except as in (6), prior to full payment of all USCIS fees and past due federal income taxes and associated IRS charges
8. committing a felony
