BS! Cruz just wants to redefine what an illegal alien is and what amnesty is.

Cruz wants to give them all legal status to remain here.

Cruz: “...once we’ve demonstrated that we can [secure the border], then we can have a conversation about what to do about whatever people remain illegally,” Cruz added. When asked if that conversation included the potential for a pathway to legal status, he repeated, “We can have that conversation with the American people once we secure the border.”

What is wrong with sealing the border? What is wrong with taking away a path to citizenship? And what is wrong with having a conversation with the American people about what to do with them once citizenship has been taken off the table and the border has been secured?

If I understand it correctly, Cruz's "solution" would create a permanent underclass. It would be a source of cheap labor and who would not have to go through learning enough about the US to pass a citizenship test. There'd be no requirement to learn English, pass the test and become a citizen, or leave.

How's that a good thing? It seems right in line with his (not too long ago) position of wanting H1B visas increased five-fold. That's not "US jobs for US citizens". It's "a steady source of cheap labor to undermine US workers".
