"And there was a specific number of visas mentioned in the amendment, 325,000 visas."
I didn't specify a number.
But it looks like your ok with an additional 325,000 Americans on the unemployed/underemployed rolls. I'll make a note of it.
Here's the facts.
--"as Cruz proposed, some 11 million residents living "in the shadows" would "still be eligible for RPI status." (registered permanent immigrant)
Where's the "half a million" BS. That's right, nowhere because it's a fabrication. Cruz also wanted to double green cards to 1.35 million per year. But hey you're ok with 325,00 college grads unemployed, whats another 1.35 mil joe six-pack types on the street.
And of course you try to change the subject on Trump because you know you're wrong. And so are your "facts".
H1B is not my point. Notice how many posts St. Thomas of A posted exactly at 10:09:00.
Sorry, just caught that.
How do you post that many times at 10:09?
Good question. I sure cannot replicate that ‘miracle’... something fishy is going on!!! St. Thomas did the same thing yesterday, and I asked them how they did it. Got no answer and here we go today doing the same.
Links!~
Facts don’t matter to cruzers. His being Canadian and NOT EVEN CARING to be declared a US citizens didn’t matter to him until he was forced into it a year ago either.
I’m done with them.
Being a Cruz guy demands you account for your actions; I am going to keep your duplicitous ways out in the limelight. Count on it!!!!!
Well it looks like you're ok with millions of Americans being displaces by the low-skilled workers Trump wants to bring into the country. I'll make a note of it.
--"as Cruz proposed, some 11 million residents living "in the shadows" would "still be eligible for RPI status." (registered permanent immigrant)"
Cruz also introduced legislation that would prevent those here illegally from ever getting citizenship - under Trump's plan, all of those he plans on bringing back would be eligible for citizenship.
For everything you want to throw at me about Cruz on immigration, I can point out a position of Trump's that is worse.

CRUZ PLAN TO STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION HIGHLIGHTS
Its not that we dont know how to solve illegal immigration. What is missing is the political will to get it done. And, as president, I will get it done. We will secure the borders. Ted Cruz
SECURE THE BORDER
A Cruz Administrations first priority for immigration reform will be to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. We will:
Build a wall that works. The unsecured border with Mexico invites illegal immigrants, criminals, and terrorists to tread on American soil. I will complete the wall.
Triple the number of Border Patrol agents. Securing the border is the federal governments obligation. I will dedicate the force necessary to do that.
Increase vital aerial surveillance and other technology along the border. Adding boots on the ground is not enough. Eyes in the sky and other equipment are necessary to find and detain all illegal entrants.
Finish the biometric tracking system at our nations ports of entry. It is disgraceful that our federal government cannot keep track of those who enter the country. I will complete a biometric entry-exit tracking system.
RESTORE THE RULE OF LAW
We need a President who will follow the law, hold those who break it accountable, and take seriously the duty to protect Americans. To restore the Rule of Law, a Cruz Administration will:
End President Obamas illegal amnesty. President Obama has issued over 20 illegal executive memoranda rewarding illegality. I will rescind each and every one on my first day in office.
Increase deportations and end catch-and-release. Our laws are not being enforced. I 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.
End sanctuary policies, sign Kates Law, and deport criminal immigrants. There are about 340 sanctuary jurisdictions in the United States. They make a mockery of our laws and endanger our citizens. I will end support for these jurisdictions.
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. I will protect Americans’ wellbeing by stopping the flow of taxpayer dollars and instituting a strong e-verify system.
REFORM LEGAL IMMIGRATION TO PROTECT AMERICANS
In order to strengthen our immigration system, protect national security, and better serve American workers, we must:
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.
New allegations detail appalling abuses of the H-1B visa program ... a program meant to create American jobs and spur economic growth.
I will suspend the program for 180 days to investigate abuses.
Halt any increases in legal immigration so long as American unemployment remains unacceptably high.
The purpose of legal immigration should be to grow the economy, not to displace American workers.
Under no circumstances should legal immigration levels be adjusted upwards so long as work force participation rates remain below historical averages.
Enforce the public-charge doctrine. Current law requires legal immigrants to certify that they will be economically self-sufficient. A Cruz Administration will ensure they do not receive government assistance, which defies the law and harms American taxpayers.
End birthright citizenship. Birthright citizenship was not intended to legalize the children of people who are breaking the law by entering and staying in the country illegally. I will take steps to pass legislation or a constitutional amendment to end it.
We stopped the Gang of Eight bill. Ted Cruz led the fight against the establishment. We would be living under amnesty right now if Cruz had not succeeded.

Please, no spamming. A brief excerpt and a link will do. Thanks.
“Well it looks like you’re ok with millions of Americans being displaces by the low-skilled workers Trump wants to bring into the country. I’ll make a note of it.”
—More BS from your baseless assumptions.
“Cruz also introduced legislation that would prevent those here illegally from ever getting citizenship “
—COMPLETELY FALSE. His amendment provided RPI status, which allows for the application of citizenship after 5 years of continuous residency. Less if they are married to a US citizen.
“..under Trump’s plan, all of those he plans on bringing back would be eligible for citizenship.”
—Of course! Whatever number his policy allows to return could apply for citizenship under the same rules Cruz fought to give them. BTW, according to NumbersUSA Trumps plan could take years before any were allowed back in.
“For everything you want to throw at me about Cruz on immigration, I can point out a position of Trump’s that is worse.’
—LOL!! the only thing your throwing is BS.
You need to do some research before you make silly statements that make you look like a fool. Here is the actual text of the Cruz amendment:
"Notwithstanding any other provision of law, aliens granted registered provisional immigrant status under section 245B of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as added by section 2101, including aliens described in section 245D(b)(1) of such Act, and aliens granted blue card status under section 2211 are permanently ineligible to become naturalized citizens of the United States, except for aliens granted asylum pursuant to section 208 of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1158)."
I stand corrected.
No wonder they ignored his silly ass.
That’s 1 for you.
If moral constitution is the justification for having a problem on this issue, what about others?
If you are using that justification inconsistently across the two candidates, it no longer represents moral absolutes. It becomes nothing more than a eloquent, righteous sounding “because I said so”.
This is false. Cruz is co-sponsoring legislation to restrict and reduce H-1B visas.
You are way over-thinking this one.
