ORLANDO, Fla. — Escalating a confrontation with Senator Marco Rubio of Florida over immigration policy, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, one of his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, introduced proposals on Friday outlining his own approach, calling for a halt to increases in legal immigration “so long as American unemployment remains unacceptably high.â€
Mr. Cruz did not detail any plans to handle the cases of the roughly 11 million people in the country illegally. But he heightened an attack on Mr. Rubio’s past efforts to forge a bill in the Senate to overhaul the immigration system, repeatedly assailing those who support “amnesty†for undocumented immigrants by suggesting, among other things, that the approach would help Democrats at the ballot box.
“If you’re supporting amnesty, you’re supporting the Obama-Clinton weakness and appeasement to radical Islamic terrorism,†Mr. Cruz told an often raucous crowd at a large church rally here. “If you are supporting amnesty, you’re supporting the Ayatollah Khamenei having nuclear weapons in Iran.â€

I read on an earlier thread that he had covered that in his detailed plan under the section that dealt with Enforcing the Existing Laws.
THis is the NY Times! Of course they are going to find fault, or mis-report, the sords of Ted Cruz. They are too busy lavishing praise on Obama and HIllary. sarc/off

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,...Apparently, to hear his recent blather, he proposed amendments to (Rubio's) "Gang of 8" bill with no intention of voting for it.
Was he lying then, or is he lying now?
Cruz is acting like a slippery politician, saying what people want to hear, based on the direction of the wind.
Unfortunately he doesn't really have to say it, many Cruz supporters will assume he said what they want him to say. Same could be said of many Trump supporters.
Since Trump came out swinging on immigration I probably trust him more on the issue. Cruz is a very late comer to the parade and his supporter's are beginning to attribute some of GW's Super Secret, Super Genius traits to him. I would like to think we had enough of that during the GW's meltdown term.
If Trump does not make it into the finals, my next preference is still Cruz. But I will keep in back of my mind that Cruz can not always go against the orders from his rich donors.
