Thread: TED CRUZ ON INCREASING H1B VISAS S BY 500% 2013 - MUST WATCH

Well, what now? Trying to discredit NumbersUSA for making a big mistake in its rating of Ted Cruz? We heard it in Ted's own words multiple times. But thank you for posting that Ted Cruz voted in favor of Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority, I thought he did, but I hadn't taken time to look it up.

So Cruz supported and voted for TPA for the TPP and supported legalization of illegal aliens until Rubio pinned him down last night and it took 3 attempts to get a fuzzy answer, so Cruz is not with US. He's with his donors and his own ambition. On the grades NumbersUSA gave Cruz, some of these no votes were based on the fact that they didn't raise the immigration levels enough.

NumbersUSA, please go back into your archives and see why you have someone like Ted Cruz who in 2013 not only supported legalization of illegal aliens, he offered Amendments to the S 744 to increase H1B visas by 500% and supported raising green cards from 750,000 to 1.3 million rated an A +, when based on his Senate activity shouldn't have even been given a D.

From Ted Cruz's own website. Proud of his vote in support of TPA and showing it off to voters! Trump is right, he is a maniac. He doesn't even know when he's doing wrong. And he posted himself in the interview on a VIDEO so click on the link below then click on the VIDEO:

ICYMI: Cruz discusses Trade Promotion Authority and Trans-Pacific Partnership

Joins the Hugh Hewitt Show

HOUSTON, Texas — Today U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, joined the Hugh Hewitt Show to discuss TPA/TPP, his op-ed on redefining the mission against ISIS, and the NDAA.

On TPA/TPP, Sen. Cruz said:

TPA is Trade Promotion Authority, it’s also known as fast track.



That is the process by which free trade agreements are negotiated. Historically, since FDR virtually every president has had fast track authority. What fast track provides is simply if a free trade agreement is negotiated, that Congress will vote on it up or down without amendments and history has demonstrated for the last 80 years that the only way to get free trade agreements adopted is to have fast track. That if there is no fast track, free trade agreements do not end up being negotiated.



TPA is what the Senate voted on recently. I voted in favor of fast track because I support free trade. I think free trade benefits America. It creates jobs — opening markets to our farmers, to our ranchers, to our manufacturers, improves economic growth. In Texas alone, roughly 3 million jobs depend on international trade.



And if you support free trade, the only way history has shown free trade agreements get negotiated is through fast track.



Now there is a second issue which has caused a great deal of confusion and that is TPP…it is one specific trade deal that is being negotiated. It is separate from TPA. Congress has not voted on TPP, and there’s a great deal of concern about TPP.



Now, I have not voted on TPP, and I haven’t decided if I will support it or not, because the negotiation isn’t complete, and I’m going to wait and review and see what the agreement is first before assessing if it would be beneficial or harmful.

How can any Republican still want more "free trade agreements" when every single one of them has stolen jobs, money and investment from the United States?

Trump is the only one who really truly understands what's wrong with America and has a clue how to fix it, which of course starts with stopping immigration and ending all free trade treason agreements. You can't solve our problems without reversing the policies that caused them.

Click on link for more categories. I just picked this one to post because it's the one that challenges the status quo and he did very poorly. He does well with the big attention getters, the ones in the news, like Kate's Law that Donald Trump made into a national issue, and anti-amnesty even though he supports legalization status for illegal aliens and more legal immigration, just not a quick path to citizenship that might impact his ability to run for President on the Republican ballot, and now he opposes the Syrian refugess but never took any interest in the refugee program until after Donald Trump made a national issue of it, or ending anchor baby birthright citizenship until after Donald Trump made a national issue of it. Vitter has had a bill in the US Senate to end automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens every year that Cruz has been in the Senate, yet he's never supported it or co-sponsored it.

Cruz has been a phony on this issue, he's lied about this issue, he's actively pursued pro-immigration goals on this issue. Cruz is not on our side, because he never has been in any meaningful way.

Neither has Rubio, but Rubio has exposed Ted Cruz.

Now kick them both to the curb so we can get on down the road to electing Donald Trump so we can start fixing our country.
