In an interview Friday morning with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, Cruz said his campaign chairman, Chad Sweet, was “wrong” when he told reporters after the debate that Cruz ultimately wants to “expand our legal immigration system”. “It’s not an attack”.

The arguments were still continuing on Thursday, when Cruz said at a Las Vegas event that Rubio was making “silly assertions” on the matter. Their last pre-debate poll showed Trump at 27%, Rubio at 17% and Carson and Cruz both at 16%. 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”. The Senate approved the bill, but it was blocked by House Republicans and widely attacked by conservatives. He pointed to Cruz’s vote against an amendment offered by Sessions at the time that would restrict legal immigration, an approach Cruz favors now. Note, though, that all of his criticism is reserved for a path to citizenship, not for giving illegals some form of basic legalization via work permits. “I do think he has the right values and will do as he says”. Marco Rubio of Florida, is aggressively accusing Cruz of changing positions. Although Rubio is significantly more conservative than Crist, the conservative base would have never rallied to his side if he had supported amnesty; he would have lost in a landslide.

Paul almost didn’t make the cut for Tuesday’s primetime debate at the Venetian, but said it was of the utmost importance that he was there.
“It’s fair to have policy differences within the Party, and I think it’s helpful to have that debate”.
“I introduced an amendment that made anyone here illegally permanently ineligible for citizenship”. “I have always been for a path to citizenship, but the others that took the other position were saying “No, they should never be able to obtain citizenship”, and I understand that position but to say now that is not what you wanted…” On May 28, 2013, the Washington Examiner’s Byron York asked Cruz whether he bought “into this whole legalization idea”.
This telenovela began when Cruz recently jabbed at Rubio for co-sponsoring in 2013, as part of the Senate’s “Gang of Eight”, a controversial immigration bill that Cruz has insisted was “amnesty”. One of his first acts as a senator was to back a constitutional amendment that would end birthright citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
“By calling their bluff, we defeated amnesty”.
“Now, Marco Rubio is a friend of mine he is a wonderful communicator, he’s a charming individual he’s very well liked”, Cruz said. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. That’s compared with 54 percent of all Americans who support a way for illegal aliens to become citizens, while 44 percent are opposed.
It’s not a debate among the nation’s surging Hispanic population: About three-quarters support a pathway to citizenship.
“Cruz gives voice to small government conservatives, many of whom are in the ranks of the evangelical movement” RedState Founder Erick Erickson explained. “There seemed to be confusion about it”, Sessions said of the amendment, adding that he believes Cruz is getting a “raw deal” on the issue.
