What has not been as evident is what he supports: legal status for millions of people here already, while making it easier for immigrants to come here through the front door.
“I have said many times that I want to see common-sense immigration reform pass,” he said. “I think most Americans want to see the problem fixed.”
... Asked about what to do with the people here illegally, however, he stressed that he had never tried to undo the goal of allowing them to stay.
“The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight,” he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation." -- Texas Tribune
Thanks for the info. Honestly, the only national Republican to take a strong stand against illegal immigration has been Senator Jeff Sessions. I honestly doubt that any of the presumptive GOP presidential candidates, if elected president, will mass deport the illegals already here.
I have taken no position on Cruz' immigration pronouncements. I have said that I prefer Pence. I am merely stating facts exposing Walker's true position for the record, because these facts are being systematically ignored by his supporters (this means you). If you don't like it, that's tough.
Did I miss something in your reply as to Cruz’s position on the illegal immigrants? Cruz would keep illegals here as illegals?/! while having working US citizens subsidize their presence? If Cruz cannot/does not want to burden the poor illegals he would burden the working US citizen? For me to do such is no different than making the US workers the provider for all of the world’s pregnancies. I don’t believe the Statue of Liberty was meant to welcome those who came to the US to be free loaders. Until I hear something more from Cruz I will put him a notch or two lower on my listing for POTUSA.
