Cruz has said he and Jeff Sessions tried attaching various amendments to the Gang of 8 bill to attempt to "improve it" but also to make it ironclad to everyone paying attention, just what the Gang of 8 wanted: to make instant citizens (and voters) of all illegal aliens in this country!

Cruz wasn't working with Sessions on opposing the Gang of 8 bill. Cruz did his own thing. It is only recently that he worked with Sessions on H-1B legislation.

Cruz has supported an increase in H-1B visas along with legalization.

“The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight,” he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.

Besides barring citizenship while instituting some level of legalization for those here already, Mr. Cruz has proposed increasing the number of green cards awarded annually, to 1.35 million from 675,000. He also wants to eliminate the per-country limit that he said left applicants from countries like Mexico, China and India hamstrung when they tried to gain legal entry to this country.
