Mike Lee endorsing Cruz's doubling of green cards:
"Everyone acknowledges that our legal immigration system needs improving. S. 744, however, complicates our legal immigration system by creating even more categories of visas and reducing transparency through a series of exemptions from visa caps. Further, the bill does not make the changes necessary to transform our system into one that is truly merit-based. A rejected amendment could have moved our system in the right direction:"
Cruz 4: Double the annual green card cap from 675,000 to 1.35 million per year, eliminate the diversity visa program and per-country caps, and reduce bureaucracy in the green card system

Mike Lee and Cruz shooting down Session's amendment to limit legal immigration:
"One such amendment, put forth by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), would restrict the legal flow of future low-skilled immigrants to the country because of Sessions' concern that they would depress wages and threaten employment for U.S. citizens. Conservative firebrand and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who staunchly opposes the immigration bill and often characterizes it as amnesty, spoke up in opposition to the measure.
"I intend to vote no on this amendment," Cruz said. "The reason is I think legal immigration is a fundamental pillar of our country. I regret this committee voted last week down each of the amendments that would have put real teeth in the border security provisions and would have made the -- what have gone a long way to making the borders secure. I am an advocate of legal immigration."
He added: "I have two amendments to expand the levels of legal immigration, to make this system work better which has the added benefit of -- as a nation, we need to remain a nation that celebrates legal immigrants around this table -- so many of us are the children of those who risked everything for freedom. I respect my friend from alabama's amendment but is not one that I can support."
In the end the committee voted 1 - 17 to table the amendment, with Sessions' as the sole voice in support.

Given that I know you to be a flaming dissembler
You're a pathological liar who hates everyone who disagrees with you.
That doesn't say what you said it does.

Cruz no longer holds that position. Like Trump, he will tie the visas to sector unemployment. UNlike Trump, he has promised to prosecute abusers of the program.
Your other quote no longer represents Cruz' written position.
As usual, you have flamed a conservative for a position they do not hold while I would have NO problem finding illegals in Trump's hotels.
