Not a long time. Cruz has started working with Sessions after he saw the success that Trump had with the Session plan on immigration. They are now working together on the issue.
His illegal immigration plan has a multiple points said there is to be no path to citizenship ever.
A path to citizenship is just the cherry on top. Being allowed to stay and work here, i.e., amnesty, is the object of their crime. And frankly, if Cruz was ever to get legalization without a path to citizenship, the courts would overturn it and the Dems would have a huge issue to club the Reps over the head. And the costs of legalization would be $6.3 trillion if there are only 12 million.
So far as how many legal immigrants his plan will prevent from entering the US, I would say that it will prevent some. I believe Iâve read recently that over half of current legal immigrants access the welfare/social net system. One of Cruzâs amendments to the CIB required his H1B business visas to have something like a million dollars. Iâd have to go read it again, but it was a poison pill amendment, so it was rejected.
Cruz is not a legal dummy. He knows what heâs doing. He has been consistently supporting H1B visas and he knows it, although he said it was based on research showing the H1B visas provided 2 or 3 jobs for each visa. I think he said recently he is relooking that.
Bogus study that is well-known to us in the immigration field. I won't go into it here, but the Chamber of Commerce has been pushing it for some time. It was disappointing to hear Cruz regurgitate it.
Iâm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt....apparently, Trump is, too.
I welcome his conversion. It remains to be seen if Cruz can catch on with the average voter or attract Dem voters in the general election. Trump has proven more adept at that. Cruz is the smartest and most articulate candidate of any in the race, Rep or Dem, but that doesn't always translate into electoral success.
These are Sessions/Cruz initiatives in 2014, before Trump even announced. IIRC, that announcement was about May/June, 2015:
