Rick Santorum accuses Ted Cruz of supporting ‘amnesty’ for illegal immigrants

Cruz:

In 2013, Sen. Cruz proposed amendments to the “Gang of 8” bill that would strengthen border security, expand green card opportunities, increase high-skilled “H1B” visas, prevent illegal aliens from receiving welfare benefits, and enforce the rule of law.

Santorum is right. The “Gang of 8” bill was Rubios bill. Some Cruz supporters would like to pretend, or try to make you believe he was going to amend a bill that he had no intention of voting for.

The gang of 8 bill called for 30 million new green cards. Green cards come with benefits, so naturally issuing green cards to illegals makes it legal for them to collect benefits.

30 million green cards, AKA back door amnesty.

Agree. Santorum is one of the strongest on immigration. He has also spoken out against runaway LEGAL immigration, recognizing that legal immigration can cause the same problems as illegal immigration. Case in point (from me not RS): Islamic immigration. Most Muslims move to our homeland legally. Nonetheless, importing Islam is a suicidal disaster here just like it has been in Europe or anywhere else.

Cruz on the other hand, said a few months ago something like "let me make it simple, Legal Good, Illegal Bad". Basically spouting baby talk that ignores the fact that large scale movement of third wold populations into the USA is problematic, with or without papers.

The expansion of green cards was for LEGAL immigrants. You have been informed of this multiple times.

Some anti-Cruz trolls would like to believe anything bad they can about Cruz, ignoring the evidence presented by the Congressional Record, Senator Sessions, Senator Lee, and Senator Cruz himself.
