LOL. You have to read his amendment to see what else was in it. And Cruz supports legalization of the lawbreakers, which is amnesty with or without a path to citizenship.

Cruz clearly states that "those in the shadows" would be given LPR status. It couldn't be more clear.

Here you go, funny guy:
https://www.tedcruz.org/news/ted-cruz-announces-policy-to-stop-illegal-immigration/
This except is from tedcruz.org TODAY, and is not some nonsense interpretation from 2 years ago:

-End President Obama’s illegal amnesty. President Obama has issued no fewer than 20 illegal executive memoranda that grant amnesty, ignore the law, and worsen our immigration problems. A Cruz Administration will rescind every one of them, will push for passage of the Immigration Slush Fund Elimination Act, and will ensure that fees paid by legal immigrants go toward supporting legal immigration only, to improve and streamline legal immigration.

-Increase deportations and end catch-and-release. Our laws are not being enforced. A Cruz Administration will restore our commitment to enforcement, public safety, and the Rule of Law by rededicating DHS to fully enforcing the law, including through deportations and returns. It will end catch-and-release on our southern border and at our ports of entry – people who are apprehended trying to enter the United States without permission will be detained until they are removed from the United States.

-End sanctuary policies, sign Kate’s law, and deport criminal immigrants. There are about 340 sanctuary jurisdictions in the United States that make a mockery of our laws and endanger our citizens. A Cruz Administration will work with Congress to pass and sign the Stop Sanctuary Cities and Protect Americans Act, and will strip funding from jurisdictions that implement sanctuary policies. A Cruz Administration will also find, prosecute, and deport criminal immigrants, sign Kate’s Law, and regain control of immigration courts.

- Prevent asylum abuse and criminalize visa overstays. Many illegal immigrants who are apprehended at the border are released into the United States based on questionable claims of persecution in their home countries. Additionally, about 40 percent of the illegal immigrants currently in the U.S. came legally but overstayed their visa. A Cruz Administration will institute new standards that allow for summary dismissal of dubious asylum claims and will penalize visa overstays by making it a misdemeanor for a first offense, and a felony for any subsequent offense, for any individual to be unlawfully present in the United States after the expiration of a visa.

- Prohibit illegal immigrants from receiving financial benefits and strengthen E-Verify. American taxpayers should not be funding benefits for those who are here illegally, and American jobs should not go to those who are here illegally. A Cruz Administration will protect Americans’ wellbeing by stopping the flow of taxpayer dollars to those here illegally and instituting a strong, widely accessible e-verify system.
