You can’t separate immigration and H-1B visas.
The author confirms what I have been saying all along. Cruz supports amnesty even though he tries to redefine the meaning of the word and he supports increased guest worker programs to compete against Americans for jobs.

Overall it appears Trump has the simplest, most common sense approach in dealing with the problem immediately and directly.
They both support some good stuff, though Trump does more, and they both are misleading to the anti-illegal base. Trump by talking about deporting everyone until he lets the “really great” ones back in. (Undoubtedly everyone with a job or related to someone with a job who hasn’t committed additional, serious crimes.)
Cruz repeatedly says he’s anti-amnesty, but then more quietly admits he’s for legalization which, even though he claims not to support it, would also lead to citizenship.
So the biggest difference to me comes down to Trump’s far greater powers of persuasion and what I believe is his greater electability—both for the nomination and against a Democrat.
Wish we had real #s. Illegals incl visa overstays. H1bs, H4s, H2a&bs including cap exempt and OPTs.
“Who’s Stronger on Immigration?”
