Bears repeating -
...In 2014, the editorial board of the Union Leader newspaper in New Hampshire asked Cruz that specific question.
Cruz responded that he would not deport any illegal immigrants who had obeyed all other USA laws...
You might want to go back and check what Trump was saying last year. If we can accept Trump’s change in position on illegal immigration, at one time embracing the Dream Act, then surely you can accept a stance that Cruz took in 2013, that he actually took to help defeat the Gang of 8. He offered the position knowing the left would not accept his amendment, and it further exposed their hypocrisy and led to the immigration bill being defeated.
Now he is recognizing the need to address the H1-B visa problem and he’s doing that through legislation. Further he is saying we need to suspend legal immigration until we get the illegal situation under control.
Many of us who also support Trump have given him much leeway as his positions have changed over time. Cruz deserves the same consideration.
