The disingenuous argument that Ted Cruz supports or supported amnesty is highly current on Free Republic. I’m not sure what the motivation is among the posters propping up this lie, but I rather suspect it is because they see Ted Cruz as a potential threat to their favored candidate.

Whether that is the case or not, it remains true that these posters are, as the article puts it, "turning Cruz’s firefighting Into arson"

People can say what they want about Cruz and his proposal to increase the H1B’s in 2013, but NO ONE can dispute what happened in early 2014.

That was when OUR FAVORITE House Majority Leader, (now lobbyist) Eric Cantor came up with a bunch of immigration reform ‘principles’ that the House would vote on - which then meant negotiating with RUBIO’s Amnesty Bill in conference.

Cruz went to the House Republicans, explained to them that these ‘principles’ were, in fact, AMNESTY, without a doubt. House conservatives then revolted against Cantor, and to his credit, Speaker John Boehner SHUT DOWN THAT EFFORT.

RUBIO’s Amnesty Bill, THANKFULLY, expired with the new Congress in 2015. Say what you want about Cruz in 2013, but in 2014 he was fighting the BATTLE OF THE BULGE (politically), where we NEARLY LOST THE COUNTRY thanks to the GOPe. Cruz, SINGLE-HANDEDLY, stopped them...and BECAUSE OF CRUZ we are still able to fight this war.

Because once this issue is proven to be a wash with another candidate, all the other side is left with is a bloviating pompous ass.

Rubio is like a slick salesman with no substance, has accomplished nothing of note, but like a parrot repeated memorized lines. He will be controlled by Paul Singers and other donors who certainly expect something for their contributions to him.

For me, Trump has gone over the edge. I can’t support Rubio. Carson would be okay. I’d support Fiorina and Huckabee, enthusiastically.

But all of my support, with no hesitation whatsoever, is with Ted Cruz.

Pray for the people in Paris.

Wishful thinking that Trump will "save" them, a fantasy he's more than happy to feed.

Notice the timing ?

It’s uncanning since it seems both the Rubio camp and the Cruz haters long knives have been out for the last few days attacking Ted Cruz.

Re: “The disingenuous argument that Ted Cruz supports or supported amnesty is highly current on Free Republic.”

Damn straight it is - and it is not disingenuous!

Show me one Ted Cruz quote where he says he will deport all 12 million illegal immigrants.

Don't bother looking - there is no such quote.

I will be happy to show you Ted Cruz quotes where he says he will give temporary work permits to all illegals who have obeyed all other USA laws.

A few weeks ago, Megyn Kelly of Fox News asked Cruz directly if he would deport illegal immigrants.

Cruz refused to answer. He said her question was a distraction from more important immigration issues!
