He wanted ZERO restrictions -- read the underlined again --
In the middle of his campaign when he got gob-smacked with this, he (1) Folded like a cheap suit and flip flopped., and (2) Said he "didn't know it was being abused" even though he ignored "offshore outsourcing".
STEM and IT workers nationwide should beware the H1B sudden flip flop of Ted Cruz
Ted is not pussyfooting around!
Translation? Can’t get all this government-speak. What is H-1B?
Chad Sweet’s wife is CEO of North America for Accenture.
HEY !!! Cruz !!!
When every American citizen has a job, and the registered aliens have a job, then we’ll talk about the need for foreigners to come here to work...
This article is about a year old. I believe he has walked this proposal back. It was one of the most offensive policies I found that he held as well.
I don’t think you are convincing anyone. It was another poison pill. Besides, what was Trump saying in 2013? How can you totally ignore all of Trump’s past?
Any new info about the BC?
Jeff Sessions: "Ted Cruz was on my side and fought this legislation"
B-B-b-bbut i-i-i-it was j-just a poison pill. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
This is nothing compared with saying a dirty word!
“23 Mar 15 | Patrick Thibodeau”
Kinda old isn’t it? It should be obvious by now that the voters don’t think it is a factor.
Now cut THAT out! Don’t you know you can’t say that about Saint Ted? Why he’s the only one who is against illegal immigration.
Why do you keep posting this drivel? That proposal was part of the bid to kill the Gang of 8 Bill. You Trumpkins keep saying we shouldn’t consider the statements and proposals Trump made even less than a year ago - only what he says now should be considered. But with Cruz, you ignore his recent positions and statements and even ignore what he and Sessions have said about the proposals made during the Gang of 8 bill, and try to make it sound as if this 3-year old amendment is his current position. Hypocrisy, thy name is xzins...
“When he was working for Bush, he crafted the campaign’s immigration policy, which included a sped-up application process, a greater number of work visas, and a provision that allowed relatives of permanent residents to visit the United States. Now, Cruz seems categorically opposed to anything that smacks of comprehensive reform. Reinhard notes that this transformation is a little baffling to people who have followed his career over the years”

When Cruz announced for president, he had VERY little to say about immigration.

Instead of the lawlessness and the president’s unconstitutional executive amnesty, imagine a president that finally, finally, finally secures the borders.
(APPLAUSE)
And imagine a legal immigration system that welcomes and celebrates those who come to achieve the American dream

Yup, my kids need not apply. Ted please get a handle on this concept.
Wow, a time warp.

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.
