I think Cruz’s concern here was agricultural workers. There’s nothing wrong with that, as long as they go back home. It’s the same as a visa, which is also temporary and legal.
Besides barring citizenship while instituting some level of legalization for those here already, Mr. Cruz has proposed increasing the number of green cards awarded annually, to 1.35 million from 675,000. He also wants to eliminate the per-country limit that he said left applicants from countries like Mexico, China and India hamstrung when they tried to gain legal entry to this country.
Wants to eliminate the limit of immigrants from Mexico, India and China. Except for the citizenship part of the gang of 8 bill, wants the rest of it and easier immigration.
