#2 But Cruz is for amnesty. Blanket amnesty. With no respect for the law, or our borders. Personally, I think that is a problem. Please discuss.

#3 Scooters youre dead wrong on that. Rubio is the amnesty guy. Cruz is not. Please don't spread false information.

the firebrand Texas conservative is launching a carefully calibrated critique of the bill, calling for a focus on consensus items like border security and changes to current law that would help legal immigrants enter the country more quickly all the while attacking the proposed pathway to citizenship for those living here illegally.

#4 May 5 publication of interview with Houston Chronicle (Link)

Q: But you and Marco Rubio part ways on a pathway to citizenship.

A: I have serious concerns about any legislation that would create a pathway to citizenship for those who are here illegally. I think doing so is inconsistent with the rule of law and is profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who have followed the rules and waited in line for years and sometimes decades to come here legally.

Additionally, I think if President Obama and [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid insist upon a path to citizenship for those who are here illegally, that will make it far more likely that the whole immigration reform will collapse, and I think that would be very, very unfortunate.

#6 Hi Oldspook, you are correct -- I confused Cruz with Rubio. My mistake. I oppose Rubio. Cruz, not so much. Thanks for setting me right.

#7 The Cajun Cueball thinks Cruz is unelectable at this point, thus the praise.

#10 Besoeker, Carville's always been an operative before he's a partisan. He's not a weather vane like Morris, mind you, but his praise of Cruz sounds technical in nature, not ideological.
