I'm surprised how Levin rated Cruz on immigration. You'll notice Cruz keeps using the expression, "common sense immigration reform" and he is for letting them all stay. Cruz keeps dodging amnesty questions by the press but I'd expect Levin to know better.

Cruz Tries to Claim the Middle Ground on Immigration

What Mr. Cruz has tried to articulate in both word and deed is a middle ground. It got no support from Democrats in Washington, but it goes further than many on the far right want to go by offering leniency to undocumented immigrants here already: A path to legal status, but not to citizenship. A green card with no right to naturalization.

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.

Kenny, from everything I've been able to find, Ted Cruz says, "I categorically oppose amnesty." The only thing I find Cruz wanting to do is to enforce existing laws and deport illegal aliens. Sanctuary cities, law enforcement "norms" that allow illegals to go free -- out the window, and enforce the laws instead. And while we're at it, dry up the welfare government largesse that gives money to illegals while they're here. It makes perfect sense to me, especially as I know that mass deportations would result in bloodshed.

Cruz's immigration solution seems right and sensible, conservative. Trump's seems high-handed, government-heavy, and angry.
