Please read this carefully and then read Cruz’s specific comments from the article ( not the writer’s interpretation) you posted and you will see that he in fact wants illegals currently here to stay:
What Mr. Cruz has tried to articulate in both word and deed is a middle ground. It got no support from Democrats in Washington, but it goes further than many on the far right want to go by offering leniency to undocumented immigrants here already: A path to legal status, but not to citizenship. A green card with no right to naturalization.
Immigration-reform legislation from the Senate’s so-called Gang of Eight passed that chamber in June and includes a 13-year path to citizenship. Mr. Cruz pushed unsuccessfully for amendments that would have, among other things, eliminated the citizenship component.
Asked about what to do with the people here illegally, however, he stressed that he had never tried to undo the goal of allowing them to stay.
“The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight,” he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.
Oh my, the iron statues all have clay feet, don’t they. Even the indomitable Cruz.
Maybe it’s time for We The People to begin to live up to the duty implied by having our name at the top of the Constitution. Civics is too important to leave up to politicians.
Already addressed in Post #180:
My God man, quoting the NY Times to buttress your fallacious mutterings.
Here’s the real Cruz:
“Ted Cruz Vows To Oppose Any Path To Legalization for Undocumented Immigrants”
“Sen. Ted Cruz is dead set against any path to legalization for undocumented immigrants, unless it sends them on a detour back to their native countries, he told talk show host Sean Hannity in an interview on Monday.”

As far as the NY Times, I wouldn’t trust a word they say about Senator Cruz. They hate him and will do whatever they can to make others feel the same way.
