You’re quoting the NY Times. They are even bigger liars than Graham The article you link to has been discussed here on FR weeks ago and was thoroughly torn apart and debunked.
Cruz stated policy is to legalize those here now and seal the border...possibly allowing chain migration of family members.
He states he opposes "Amnesty" but then defines "amnesty" ONLY as allowing citizenship.
I Challenge you again, cite references that prove otherwise.
I know you cannot as none exist.
Yet for some reason you're contending that Cruz does not support "Amnesty". By that definition neither do McCain or Graham.
