Yes, you did not mention Fox...but you are unknowingly parroting the Baier leading hit piece on Cruz/support piece for El Nino Rubio tonight on Fox. Cruz has been emphatic...absolutely no citizenship for illegals...thus, no amnesty...secure the border above all else...but, the massive deportation question will be addressed later...not off the table...good policy, better politics! El Nino has supported the Gang of 8 amnesty...your boy Donald supports total deportation...arbitrary, I think not!
This is basically a confirmation and reiteration of what I've already written. Cruz does not state he opposes legalization. He simply opposes the "pathway to citizenship," which is how he defines amnesty. Legal status for Cruz is not amnesty. The "conversation" to be had after he is elected, which I mentioned, is Cruz's way of avoiding any conversation that will piss off the base. The fact that Cruz doesn't consider granting legal status to be amnesty demonstrates that Cruz's position is unchanged from 2013, where he stated that legal status to bring illegals "out of the shadows" is his ideal for "common sense" immigration reform.
Cruz is deceptive when he claims he supports Donald Trump on immigration, but then refuses to discuss deportation, nor is he honest about his own support for the Gang of Eight Post-Amendment bill.
