At this point, given their respective comments, NONE of the three likely top-tier GOP candidates (Cruz, Walker or Bush) are telling me what I want to hear on that.

You know what I want to hear on immigration? I want a call for the end of minimum wage and onerous regulation that makes employing teens too risky and expensive.

I want a call for the end of government obligation to provide education for illegal immigrant kids. (Cruz just did that, by the way).

I want a call for the end of government charity subsidies in welfare and family support that illegal immigrants take as entitlements. No more food stamps, rent assistance, education, school lunches, AFWDC, for illegals. Deprive them of jobs (give them to teen agers at a real market value) and deprive them of government-provided food and shelter. Desperate poverty is best attended by true volunteer charities in a Christian spirit, a whole different deal than amoral Government entitlement programs.

THAT's what I want to hear on immigration, and judging Cruz's general philosophy of governance, I think I'd hear close to it from him. It would go a very, very long way to solving the illegal immigration problem.
