Speaking of people who thought Romney's position was too extreme:
"What Mr. Cruz has tried to articulate in both word and deed is a middle ground. It got no support from Democrats in Washington, but it goes further than many on the far right want to go by offering leniency to undocumented immigrants here already...
Asked about what to do with the people here illegally, however, he stressed that he had never tried to undo the goal of allowing them to stay.
"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."

So which candidate claims he was always for deportation from the day he was born? Was it Trump or Ted Cruz?
The context of my post (and this article) is Palin's statement that her decision to support Trump was easy in light of Cruz's inconsistencies. Even if Cruz has not himself been 100% consistent, the fact is that Trump has not been consistent either. So, if inconsistencies were enough to stop her from supporting Cruz, why would she support Trump instead?
