legalize or make citizen..
There is a very large difference.
Why did Jeff Sessions say that Cruz was responsible for destroying the gang of 8 bill?
It was another ‘Poison Pill’, he has a cabinet full of them.
So Jeff Sessions is now lying as well?
BTW do you really think there's anyone on this board who hasn't made up their minds about the veracity of this (bogus) charge?
I don’t want Cruz to be our nominee but this charge is prue bull shiite. It plays stupid “make believe” games. Stop it.
If the left can do that, you think they're going to let 11 million be deported? If you think the courts truly have the power to grant mass citizenship to all illegals, then the whole issue is already lost.
Not this feces again, every piece of crap ever written about Cruz is true according to you guys while everything the least bit negative posted about Trump is a flagrant lie, even though it’s true. Everybody should do their best to post legitimate articles, no one is going to be swayed to or from either candidate with ridiculous hit pieces, I know I won’t be.
Bullcrap. If Ted Cruz proposed that, it was a gambit to force the traitors out into the open and commit themselves.
There are a lot of such moves in the Senate to force votes on stuff.
I watched the Gang of Eight's bill from start to finish. I KNOW which guys were trying to derail the amnesty bill and which guys climbed into bed with the illegals
And here’s what Trump said in 2013:

And here’s what Trump said 7 months ago, the week after he announced he was running for President:

Even if it was true that Cruz wanted to give legal status to illegals in 2013(Even though its already been refuted by one of the main members of the Senate opposition, Jeff Sessions, who worked side by side with Cruz to defeat the bill.) then what are we to do? Vote for Rubio? Carson? Yeb?!... Kasich?!!
Politicians who were arguing against illegal aliens have often tried to soften it or take the sting out of it by stressing that they were for increased “legal” immigration. That allowed them to stress that they weren’t anti-immigrant, just anti-”illegal”-immigrant. It didn’t really help, they would get accused of being racists, nativists, anti-immigrant, anyway. Similarly they would often try to soft-pedal it by going soft on the whole issue of deporting the people already here.
I actually struggled with that idea myself for a long time. I finally realized, though, that the politicians can’t be trusted to do anything, including and especially securing the border, so if nothing else but for the sake of clarity I started saying that the answer is to secure the border, enforce the law, AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY. Anything else and you’ve given the politicians wiggle room to get around it.
Rubio makes that point himself. Too bad I simply don’t believe his sincerity anymore... But he rightly points out that Americans won’t hear of any talk about any kind of amnesty until the border is secure. Frankly, there is no need for it. If there are no new illegals entering, and the laws are enforced, the problem will resolve itself over a very few years. People will go home, or find a way to legalize themselves, or get caught and sent home. Some will find ways to evade detection but that number will go down every year until it just doesn’t matter anymore.
Cruz has always been clear on the border. He hasn’t always been a hawk on legal immigration, but we need to take a hard look at that too. If 40 million people are out of work, why are we bringing in millions more every year? Seriously?
We have been over this time and again. He was trying to poison a bill the Senate was certain to pass so that the House might not. We were ultimately saved by the loss of Cantor in his primary. Cruz and the rest of us breathed a sigh of relief at the time and many thanked Cruz for the effort. The amnestyites did not thank Cruz for that but fought him on it because they thought it would kill the bill in the House.
R, Goldman Sachs, nuff said...
Ted Cruz was one of the primary people who fought and stopped the bill that would have legalized them. According to Sen. Sessions, the bill would have passed but for Ted Cruz.
He tried to remove a key provision. His amendment would have made the bill LESS illegal immigrant friendly.
Jackals,he denies nothing,he says legalize them to work,not become citizens.
His amendment did just that,saying he is for letting them become citizens is what you seem to hear and put in his mind where he has been consistent forever against citizenship.
You either are a Typical Rubio supporter or a real idiot
Donald Trump has called for giving illegals “a path” to “make it possible for them to succeed here” so the can “come out from under the shadows.” He has proposed to send illegals home, but then let them back in, which is essentially identical to the touchback amnesty provision in the 2007 “comprehensive reform” bill.
If anyone thinks that suddenly 30 plus million people who are in the U.S. illegally are going to be deported, IMO they are whistling Dixie - and it doesn’t matter who is elected president.
What I see as a little more attainable to keep more from coming here, deny all taxpayer benefits to those that are here, severely punish employers who hire illegals, stop the issuance of all visas and green cards, deny admittance to anyone who attempts to cross our border and stop granting citizenship to those here.
It’s not just this source. Cruz has repeated the legalization thing over and over until he’s asked about it!
CRUZ.....Expand legal immigration - double it! 500% increase on H1B Visas. LEGAL status for all illegals
HIS words, short and sweet, in the first minute!

Immigration wasn’t even very important to him when he announced his run for pres.
Look at what they had to say about those immigration during their announcement speeches. These were subjects that Cruz cared very little about when he made his announcement speech, while Trump addressed them fully! Same thing with trade,2nd amendment & Terrorism. All Ted did was ask us to use our imagination and talked about CUBA....did not mention Canada, though.
