You jumped on cruz's failing campaign even before he started parroting Trumps positions on everything from immigration to the military

You could not be more wrong, actually you have it exactly backwards:

Trump was still supporting amnesty in 2013.

Here is Cruz unequivocally against amnesty in 2011:

I'm strongly opposed to illegal immigration I am categorically opposed to amnesty. And I strongly support legal immigrants who follow the rules and come here to work towards achieving the American dream. Now with respect to securing the borders, I approach this as someone who has spent much of his adult life with law enforcement. It makes utterly no sense that we don’t know who is coming in to this country, we don’t know their criminal backgrounds. Our borders are largely unsecure, and particularly in a post 9/11 world, that is lunacy. I support any and all possible efforts to secure the border. That includes fences. That includes walls. That includes technology. That includes helicopters. That includes drones. That includes manpower. That includes employment verification. That includes approaching it as a law enforcement priority, and right now neither party is serious enough about doing it.

Cruz has always been a staunch conservative. He is unyielding. That’s why he’s not so popular in Washington. That’s why we need President Ted Cruz.

cruz would grant 40 million illegal aliens legal status. And he will grant them full access to welfare and chain immigration. Trump, on the other hand, would deport them all and then only let the ones that would benefit America and Americans back in using existing legal channels. Clearly, you are on the wrong side of that.

I am with you in a larger sense, but as of late, Ted refuses to answer what his plan is for the illegals already here who have no criminal record other than the original laws they broke to be here. He keeps kicking that one down the road or just plainly doesn’t answer the question. I really wish he would answer it.
