I like Cruz but I’m concerned about his amnesty answers. So far it’s Rand for me but I wouldn’t really complain with Cruz either.

No one’s perfect, but my understanding of Cruz is that he rejects illegal immigration, wants the wall built, wants visas and entry controlled. He also supports legal immigration to an extent that I don’t, but that’s one demerit. He has about 3 of them now, but the other candidates are on average worse.

That’s my system. I add up the negatives, add up the positives, and come up with a candidate to support. So far, Cruz is at the top. It’s fair, because I don’t pretend his negatives are non-existent.

“I like Cruz but I’m concerned about his amnesty answers. So far it’s Rand for me but I wouldn’t really complain with Cruz either.”

What concerns you about Cruz’s “amnesty answers”? The fact that he’s been consistently opposed to ILLEGAL immigration his entire career?

Meanwhile, Rand has waffled on this issue and even showed initial support for Rubio’s gang of 8 fiasco.

Maybe I missed something somewhere, but could you please enlighten me on how Rand has a stronger track record opposing amnesty than Cruz?
