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. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation...

Yeah, it looks like Cruz and Trump were pretty much in the same boat regarding comments concerning deportation, I believe there are plenty of Donald’s quotes kicking around from a few years ago about how ridiculous an idea he thought deportation was.
Whats clear is the dynamic has changed now and deportation is apparently politically conceivable. Thank heaven and to Trump for that.
But if Rubio thinks he can drag Cruz down to his level as an amnesty pimp he’s definitely picking a losing battle.
Deportation is the only path to DISCOURAGING FUTURE illegals. Reagan’s amnesty to 2 or 3 million encouraged 11 million more illegals.
Only Trump has the kahuna’s to use the words [DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS FIRST].
Ain't that the truth!
Trump was clear on this issue from the start. Not being a politician. Am I to believe that Cruz support of an amendment that would establish a legitimate status for illegal aliens was merely a chess move in a political game? Cruz seems more squishy to me on illegal aliens based on which way the perverbial wind is blowing.
I am glad Cruz finally flipped on H1-B visa’s. I do not hold grudge if they flop in the right direction. I did not even hold grudge against Romney after he flipped to pro-life.
Well, I watched the disappointing video of Cruz. He needs to understand that there will be NO AMNESTY. You came in illegally — YOU GET OUT!! It will be “operation wetback II”.
Cruz has now faded ,in my opinion. We will not have amnesty .
Rubio has the benefit of the mighty GOP elites behind him.
Trump is only solution.
Yep. It has turned very ugly. We must dig in and fight hard to make America Great again!!
Can’t argue with that.
I’m hoping the context for this issue continues to evolve to the point where suggesting deportation isn’t reacted to as if one is suggesting firing up the ovens.
Inconvenient for Cruz but at the end of the day he, Rubio, and others are just different flavors of Bush, supporting amnesty. Only Trump seems clear not not giving amnesty.
When did Cruz flip? Was it clear and unabiguous or political doublespeak?
St. Raphael of TPA versus Gang of 8 Marco in the cage fight to end all cage fights.
Who’s got the popcorn?
“Cruz seems more squishy to me on illegal aliens based on which way the perverbial wind is blowing.”
Thank you. I have felt something is not right about Cruz and that sentence nails it!
