His advisers have clearly told him he has to embrace legal immigration or be portrayed as a hypocrite, given his father’s story.
I suspect Cruz doesn't have to be told anything, he's bound to be conflicted same as Rubio.
An important point and question: Did Cruz’s family come to the US illegally? If yes, then that would make him a hypocrite. If no, then the argument doesn’t apply.
My concern: I wonder if most Americans are able to understand the difference — breaking laws vs complying with laws. Democrats and Libs have phrased the debate so as to cover up this important fact.
That is the crux of the issue for most of us — illegals cheated the process while others followed the process. That is why they are called “illegal.” According to Democrats, cheaters should win. Why? Because they might vote Democrat. Politics over policy.
I think it makes sense to have immigrants that contribute to our economy rather than immigrants that subtract from it.
I wish I could remember the freeper who said something like “yeah I can accept increasing H1-B numbers as long as those immigrants are paid in the lowest quintile” or something like that. A policy to increase H1-B should allow capable people in while ensuring that they aren’t simply bringing down everyone’s pay....non H1-B employees need to paid more than immigrants generally.
