Me, and lots of people like me are much more concerned by illegal immigration than legal immigration.
And focusing on legal immigration at this time is completely inappropriate and distracts from illegal immigration.
If you feel the need to muddy the waters, go ahead.
I'll keep sending time and money to Cruz.

Both systems are broken, but the only tolerable method for anyone to enter this country is via legal immigration. Without an enforced entry system, this nation is not sovereign for long.
I don't really trust Walker (or any other politician on this issue), but at least in terms of Election 2016 policy statements on immigration, he's now in the lead.
The "Illegal bad /Legal good" mantra GOP candidates spout to soften their (primary-season) rhetoric on immigration is nonsense and needs to go. It's like saying that smoking is safe and healthy as long as the cigarettes are "legal" with tax-stamps.
As I said, you are part of the problem, not the solution. If you any interest at all in understanding the context of legal immigration and how it impacts the vision and values of our Founders along with Conservatism, I offer a link the Phyllis Schlafly's study,
How Mass (Legal) Immigration Dooms a Conservative Republican PartyThe data on the impact of legal immigration are overwhelming. But I guess you don't need no stinkin' facts.

It is the other way around. The GOPe has been using the distraction of illegal immigration and the border to make it seem that they are tough on immigration. In the meantime, they are responding to their corporate paymasters by keeping the flood of legal immigrants going and increasing the size of our guest worker programs. It used to be that we needed these immigrants to do jobs that Americans won't do. Now, we need them to do jobs Americans can't do. The Reps, including Cruz want to increase the number of skilled guest workers who will take jobs from American college graduates who are already saddled with massive student loans. If we had a labor shortage, wages would be going up not down. In fact we are importing hundreds of thosands of legal immigrants without a high school diploma,

Are you sure you are backing Cruz? You sound like a Jeb Bush/Karl Rove Republican. Certainly, your stance on legal immigration is the same. Why would you want to continue importing 1.1 million legal immigrants a year who will vote two to one Dem?
