During the Fox News/Google GOP debate on Thursday night, the candidates, especially Rubio and Cruz, were taken to task over their record on immigration. In one exchange, moderator Megyn Kelly challenged Senator Cruz to on whether, based on his amendments offered, he supported legalization. "Yes it would," said Kelly of his amendment.
However, later that evening Kelly interviewed Cruz and conceded an important point. That being pretty much the opposite, which is that he did not and does not support legalizing the status of people here illegally.

Back up (and comments) and LINK to the interview: FR THREAD: Megyn Kelly to Ted Cruz: "The record supports you."
Megyn Kelly:
"The record supports you." [Cruz: "Anyone here illegally is permanently ineligible for citizenship."]
"It was a poison pill."
"You do have a consistent record on that; I will give you that; we did look back on it."
Cruz is at 4% and lashing out at who?
Fox knew at the debate the charge was untrue but we’re seeking to help Rubio.
Sunday night Luntz was on interviewing a young caucus voter who said she was originally for Trump but turned away from him and became a strong Cruz supporter. But she said that after watching the exchange between Megyn and Cruz about immigration during the debate she turned away from Cruz because it appeared he wasn't being honest with his reply to Kelly. She said she was now a Rubio supporter and will never change.
Of course Luntz never pointed out to her that Megyn Kelly admitted Cruz was correct and telling the truth about the issue.
The whole segment appeared to be a set up to promote Rubio anyway, but still...
