WASHINGTON - On May 21, 2013 Ted Cruz argued before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee that we should "expand legal immigration".

Boom!
I don’t think any Cruz supporters really care about this, it’s been posted ad nauseam and ignored.
Here’s an even better video with a lot more damning words, though. There’s no way to say this is out of context, Cruz simply wants more cheap invaders because he’s a globalist, just like his wife.

U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Hearing, 5/21/13: “And I’d like to make a final point to those advocacy groups that are very engaged in this issue and rightly concerned about addressing our immigration system and, in particular, about addressing the situation for the 11 million who are currently in the shadows. If this amendment is adopted to the current bill, the effect would be that those 11 million under this current bill would still be eligible for RPI status. They would still be eligible for legal status and indeed, under the terms of the bill, they would be eligible for LPR status as well so that they are out of the shadows, which the proponents of this bill repeatedly point to as their principal objective to provide a legal status for those who are here illegally to be out of the shadows. This amendment would allow that happen, but what it would do is remove the pathway to citizenship so that there are real consequences that respect the rule of law and that treat legal immigrants with the fairness and respect they deserve. And a second point to those advocacy groups that are so passionately engaged. In my view, if this committee rejects this amendment, and I think everyone here views it as quite likely this committee will choose to reject this amendment, in my view, that decision will make it much, much more likely that this entire bill will fail in the House of Representatives. I don’t want immigration reform to fail. I want immigration reform to pass. And so I would urge people of good faith on both sides of the aisle, if the objective is to pass common sense immigration reform that secures the borders, that improves legal immigration, and that allows those who are here illegally to come in out of the shadows. Then we should look for areas of bipartisan agreement and compromised to come together. And this amendment, I believe, if this amendment were to pass, the chances of this bill passing into law would increase dramatically.”
BTTT
Cruz is defiantly a Globalist pretending he is not.
Thanks for the link!
How dare you post videos discrediting the ‘real’ conservative in this race. /s
Well that was before he was annointed by God /s
LOL!
Like Trump, Ted has a large group of hardcore supporters who would not desert him if he “shot a man just to watch him die” or ate live puppies on national TV. So, this revelation will probably change no opinions here.
Looks like a video that starts mid-sentence ?
Do you have the whole thing?
We do not need to help others right now until we get American back on her feet...
“Like Trump, Ted has a large group of hardcore supporters who would not desert him if he “shot a man just to watch him die” or ate live puppies on national TV. So, this revelation will probably change no opinions here.”
The key difference is that Trump was joking, it was taken as a joke, but Cruz was serious, and was not joking.
You are right of course, but that only counts with people who have open minds.
It still starts in the middle.
Oh well.
Trump was not a politician.
Cruz has been exposed as a Bush plant.
Nice try...
And in 2013, Trump was still supporting the legalization of illegal immigrants... Your point?
