"The point I was making is I'm surprised by his criticism given that fact that his record on immigration, quite frankly, is not substantially different than mine," Rubio said.Well since Cruz has put his forward in detail and you haven't we can't really know that for sure, can we.
Where's your plan, Marco?

When Romney did this we called him a flip flopper. Times change I guess.

Which detailed plan was that?
Do you have a link to Trump's DETAILED immigration plan?
Or just his uncollected random statements about what he is going to do about the border?

Of course you’re right, but don’t bother.
They aren’t listening - they’ll be on the next thread, making the same damn false charge.

Nice timing on his change of heart. Likely some Trump voters are casting about right now for another candidate.
I think the Cruz campaign is starting to hit a good stride coming around turn two.
This guy Cruz could be headed for the Triple crown!

Trump is not opposed to legal immigrants with high skills. Cruz is moving in on the Trump banner, but EVERYONE knows who raised it, and that it is Donald Trump who owns it. :)

I refer to H1b quotas. Cruz has been a stalwart on border jumpers.

I’m stiil behind Cruz though I think this is really just a jailhouse conversion. Good to hear that he’s listening though. Sent him email through his website the other day about this very issue.

Of course we owe Trump big time for bringing this issue forward as effectively as he has. There's no doubt at all about that.
Having said that I do not care which politician addresses the problem as long as it finally gets address.

Thanks.
BTW I see Trump proposes sending criminal aliens home. What about the rest? Hasn’t he been talking about mass deportations, like Operation Wetback lately?

Actually Ted's plan is not much different than Donald Trump's.
Trump promises the impossible, to forcibly deport 11 million to 30 million people. Cruz declines to deliver up impossible promises but at least has the good sense not to aver that it cannot be done.
Trump would let some unspecified number back in upon some unspecified standard. Cruz does not specify beyond criminals whom he would deport.
At least with Cruz we get a conservative.
