Hello!...Wake Up!
When was the last successful lawsuit on a news source for lying about a candidate?
Go to the link I provided and quit making your bogus assertions about Ted’s positions on immigration.
There is no “legalization” when you’ve self-deported because you can’t get a job or a handout!
Each of these has details at the link provided earlier:
End President Obamaâs illegal amnesty.
Increase deportations and end catch-and-release.
End sanctuary policies, sign Kateâs law, and deport criminal immigrants.
Prevent asylum abuse and criminalize visa overstays.
Prohibit illegal immigrants from receiving financial benefits and strengthen E-Verify.
Suspend the issuance of all H-1B visas for 180 days to complete a comprehensive investigation and audit of pervasive allegations of abuse of the program
Create a âlayoff cool-offâ period for all H-1B visa applications:

He clearly states he is against any kind of amnesty, 30 seconds in. Repeated again at 1:25-1:26. At 2:00 he clearly states no reward for those here illegally. It doesn’t get much clearer than that, and it doesn’t have the qualifications about citizenship that you mention.
The NYT chooses to read meaning into the El Paso speech. That was about the Gang of 8 bill, where he introduced the amendment to expose the Gang’s path to citizenship agenda. He has always been consistent on this, from the time he started to run for congress.

âThe amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight,â he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.Mr. Cruz said recent polling indicated that people outside Washington support some reform, including legal status without citizenship. He said he was against naturalization because it rewarded lawbreakers and was unfair to legal immigrants. It also perpetuates illegal crossings, he added.
Besides barring citizenship while instituting some level of legalization for those here already, Mr. Cruz has proposed increasing the number of green cards awarded annually, to 1.35 million from 675,000. He also wants to eliminate the per-country limit that he said left applicants from countries like Mexico, China and India hamstrung when they tried to gain legal entry to this country.

We'll just need a bulldog reporter to ask the question clearly and succinctly...and keep asking until such time as they get a clear and succinct answer.
Believe me, there's nothing I would like more than for Ted Cruz to be clear and unambiguous in stating there will be no legal status for any illegal alien, ever. They can't stay and must be deported.
But, so far, I have seen nothing to indicate he would ever do that and have seen significant evidence that he would legalize those who are established here.
To me that's Amnesty. To many others they'll accept more nuanced definitions.

We're talking about deliberately mis-quoting.
Those types of libel suits always succeed.

Fair enough. I would like to believe that all of the candidates for president will do the right thing to protect America and help her prosper.

calling for a provision that would legalize all 11-plus million illegal aliens. He even used the liberal code phrase "out of the shadows." Nope he has adopted the Trump position. All is forgiven. </s>

Next question â What is amnesty? Easy. If they stay it is amnesty. If they go it is not amnesty.

His bill âends the path to citizenship.â Whatâs the complaint then? Unconstitutional.

Not even Trump as President has the power to control what the courts decide. Has not seemed to inhibit the current resident.

telling the truth about whether or not their amnesty plans would eventually result in a path to citizenship for illegal aliens. They vote either way.

Nope. Just people evolve in their views.
I’ve gone from thinking it would be worth “compromising” whit the far left and passing innocuous gun laws, just so they would leave us alone (I know, stupid dream), to recognizing that we cannot compromise with evil, and they will never be satisfied.
Both Cruz and Trump have also evolved on issues, and I am unwilling to dismiss either one based on past views being imperfect.

as former Cruz-staffer Amanda Carpenter explains, Ted didnât actually support amnesty. He only put this amendment forward in order to show to voters that the Gang of 8 wasnât telling the truth about whether or not their amnesty plans would eventually result in a path to citizenship for illegal aliens.
