Cruz has made his positions on illegal immigration extremely clear:
https://www.tedcruz.org/cruz-immigration-plan-summary/
He specifies building a wall, tripling the number of border patrol, repealing Obama’s amnesty program, enforcing deportations and returns, ending sanctuary policies, prohibiting illegal immigrants from receiving financial benefits, suspending H-1B visas, halting *legal* immigration, ending birthright citizenship, and so on.
What in the world is there not to like?? His policies are specific, and bold.
No, when in the past he has addressed illegal immigrants here now he has talked about legalization. Now that he’s running for president he neither admits nor denies that he will legalize them. Yet, he rails against amnesty (and legalization is amnesty). It’s pretty easy to surmise that Cruz doesn’t tell GOP primary voters what he’ll do with them because he’ll legalize them and he knows that’s not what the conservative voting base wants.
Still it is misleading and deceptive and less than forthcoming to say he’s against “amnesty”, but not say that he won’t actually give illegals legalization as a form of amnesty. Even Jeb admits what he’ll do with current illegals. Cruz owes prospective voters more.
Did the Cruz campaign feed you that line directly to troll with on FR? Because, it just doesn't come off like we're talking to a human being here.
Yeah, he writes this, but then says - secure the border first, then there will be a “conversation.” That is what is troubling, or what part of that don’t you understand?
But that stuff doesn’t apply to the 30 million illegals already here if he legalizes him—and he refuses to say he won’t do that, while previously having made statements that he will.
Repeatedly, when asked, he now refuses to say, though he has made pro-legalization comments in the past.
