In the bitter congressional battle over Marco Rubio’s Gang of Eight immigration bill, Ted Cruz offered up an amendment that left open the pathway to legal status for illegal immigrants currently in the country.
Ted has since suggested that that amendment was a “poison pill,” or an amendment meant to kill the bill altogether. His opponents, on the other hand, have pointed to that amendment as proof that the man who is campaigning partially on his incredibly strong stance against illegal immigration secretly supports amnesty.
Ted is now trying to set the record straight once and for all, by positioning himself far to the right of both Rubio and Trump on immigration.
See what he said he would do to the illegal immigrants currently in the United States on the next page:
Cruz seems to be a compulsive liar like Obama you can’t trust a liar.
No!
Cruz someone in your ancestry was an illegal…..I cannot vote for you
It can be done– if existing federal law against aiding and abetting illegal aliens were strictly enforced – no aid in any form, no sanctuary, no employment- all are felonies for the persons giving-
illegal aliens would have to self deport or starve
Federal Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)
“Any person who encourages or induces an alien to reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such residence is in violation of law, shall be punished as provided for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs fined under title 18 imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.”
Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):
A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:
* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or
* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or
* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.
Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment, and forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime. Anyone employing or contracting with an illegal alien without verifying his or her work authorization status is guilty of a misdemeanor. Aliens and employers violating immigration laws are subject to arrest, detention, and seizure of their vehicles or property. In addition, individuals or entities who engage in racketeering enterprises that commit (or conspire to commit) immigration-related felonies are subject to private civil suits for treble damages and injunctive relief

I heard Trump say he wants them gone. Why else would he want to build a wall???
CRUZ IS TAKING A PAGE OUT OF HILLARYS BOOK, LIAR !
Trump card wins every time…
Mary Lou Carpenter What is the truth? Not your truth, but the truth.. What so many want is us to accept their personal choice……and they will defend it to the death. Just look at the Hillary supporters for example……insanity!
Trump will not grant citizenship to them he will deport them now i know Cruz is a liar….
That was really unnecessary! How is someone not allowed to have an opinion different than yours……even if you believe they are wrong? You sound much like a liberal….they believe there is only one opinion that is acceptable….their own!!!
