FAIR’s Analysis of Ted Cruz’s Immigration Plan



Screen shot 2016-03-02 at 3.40.22 PMSenator Ted Cruz (R-TX), who is seeking the Republican Party’s nomination for president, released an immigration plan based on three central facets: securing the border, restoring the rule of law, and reforming legal immigration to protect Americans. (Ted Cruz Immigration Plan) FAIR offers the following analysis of the plan on five key immigration issues: amnesty; legal immigration; border security; interior enforcement; and taxpayer benefits to illegal aliens.

Amnesty: In his plan, Cruz points out that President Obama has issued at least 20 executive memoranda that grant amnesty, ignore the law, and worsen our immigration problems.

    Rubio is calling Trump a “con artist”. Maybe so, we shall see whether he sticks to his beliefs as stated. I do not like the fact that he meets with editors from the NY Times and won’t release the transcript of what was said. But as far as Rubio, we know for a fact he’s a con artist.

    He stated repeatedly and emphatically during his 2010 Senate campaign, both in the primary and general election, that he did not endorse amnesty because it would only lead to encouraging more people to come here illegally. Then two years after he joins the Senate, he’s part of the Gang of Eight, pushing a bill that’s a repeat of the 1986 “one time” amnesty, with legalization up front and some vague promises of enforcement in the future. Now he’s a tough guy again, shades of John McCain, on enforcement. Trump, who knows. But Rubio is a weasel by his own words.

        Who said I was a conservative? You’re always making these assumptions. I’m liberal on many things and I have said repeatedly I’m a registered Democrat who can’t stand their open border positions.
