Friday night with Fox’s Greta Van Susteren, Cruz was still on defense, unable to shake questions about why in 2013 he repeatedly said he supported legalization (and signed a letter to that effect). Ted Cruz has surged to the top of polls in the critical early-voting state of Iowa.

The home game was the Warriors’ first since November 27, an 18-day span that was the club’s longest since moving west in 1962…. After the Warriors already waved the white flag, benching all their star players, MCW sealed the deal with a breakaway dunk.
Cruz says now the amendment was meant as a “poison pill” to kill the whole package, or at the very least as a way to expose that what Democrats really wanted was not to “bring people out of the shadows”, as they often claimed, but rather to grant citizenship to millions of future Democratic voters.

While Rubio skipped a vote Friday on a crucial spending bill that funds the government through October, Cruz pushed his rally in Virginia back to ensure he could cast a “no” vote against the bill. “I don’t know why they think they would benefit from that, but I’m happy to talk about immigration all day long because my guy’s solid on immigration, and their guy has a fatal flaw if you’re running for the Republican nomination”.
In May 2013, Cruz said during a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee: “I don’t want immigration reform to fail”. The Rubio team had figured out that Cruz’s biggest problem was Cruz, his slipperiness and arrogance. “Instead of just saying I’m for this or I’m for that, vote for me, he’s saying, let’s make a plan”, said Thomas. (Senator Cruz and I) stood together on this one, I’ve got to tell you.
“For the first time in five debates, Senator Rubio publicly admitted not only did he support Obama and Schumer’s amnesty but he still supports amnesty and citizenship today”, Cruz said Thursday – highlighting a Rubio stance that is anathema to the GOP’s conservative base. He told NPR in June 2013, “11 million who are here illegally would be granted legal status once the border was secured – not before – but after the border was secured, they would be granted legal status”.
Amid his rocketing support in Iowa, however, Cruz has attracted the ire of some of his fellow candidates – including Marco Rubio, with whom the Texas senator tangled frequently at the GOP 2016 debate last week.
“Proponents of the Gang of Eight [immigration bill] were being hypocrites”.
Looking to toughen his contrast with Rubio, Cruz this week ruled out legalization unequivocally, a position he has been resistant to take for much of the campaign.
Cruz’s “intend to” language was far from his finest moment, and a campaign spokesperson later clarified that the senator would not support legalization under any circumstances. Cruz initially voted for the proposed cuts, which were not popular with farms in agricultural states such as Iowa.
Opponent Marco Rubio is one of many Republicans who see it differently. Cruz said at one point, visibly irritated.
After the speech, Cruz stayed another half-hour to mingle with local supporters and sign autographs.

During the interview on CNN’s “State of the Union”, Trump continued to say that as a “world class businessman”, he has the ability to get along with everyone on either side of the aisle – something he said Cruz does not have the ability to do.
