Ted?s position on illegal amnesty is clear. Ted unequivocally opposes amnesty. He always has, and he always will. As the Houston Chronicle reported, Ted is ?a hard-liner on border security and illegal immigration. He opposes amnesty, the DREAM act and the Texas law that allows in-state college tuition to children of illegal immigrants.? http://www.chron.com/news/fikac/article/Senate-hopeful-Cruz-casts-himself-as-conservative-3381330.php

Ted successfully fought the UN and World Court before the U.S. Supreme Court defending a Texas jury?s right to execute an illegal alien for brutally raping and murdering two teenage girls in Houston.

Dewhurst is making this false and desperate attack because his own record is so weak on illegal immigration:

Under Dewhurst, Texas has become a sanctuary state, where illegal immigrants come because they know they can find work here.

In the last legislative session, Dewhurst killed the bill that would have banned sanctuary cities.

In the last session, Dewhurst killed the bill that would have ended in-state tuition for illegal aliens.

Dewhurst has repeatedly waffled on building a wall to secure our border.

Dewhurst’s campaign and his allies claim that Ted’s campaign is funded by Washington special interests, and he will be beholden to them in the future. Let’s have a look: the ?Washington special interests? mentioned in Dewhurst?s ads is the Club for Growth, whose sole mission is to REDUCE government spending and debt. They played a critical role in electing Tea Party Senators like Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, and (soon-to-be) Richard Mourdock. They exist to fight the moderate establishment, like David Dewhurst.

Unlike DD with the deep pockets of his own personal wealth, Ted?s campaign has received over 34,550 contributions from nearly 21,000 different contributors; the average contribution size is $176. These grassroots donations have come from 855 Texas cities, 225 Texas counties, and all 50 states. David Dewhurst, on the other hand, has only about 2,500 donors ? virtually every lobbyist in Austin and a great many of the lobbyists in Washington, DC.

Cronies with business before the Legislature support Dewhurst because he will keep the gravy train flowing. Those who want to shrink government, like Club for Growth?who wants to end the gravy train and eliminate our crushing debt?support Cruz.

On the AMNESTY B.S.: Dewhurst claims that Ted serves on the board of the Hispanic Leadership Fund. This is a flat-out lie. Ted doesn?t serve on the board of that organization, and he has never served on their board. He is one of 40 members of the ?board of advisors? of the Hispanic Alliance for Prosperity Institute. This is not a pro-amnesty group. It is a Republican group, and other advisory board members include former Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Victor Carillo and George P. Bush. The advisory board is largely honorary; the board has never met, and Ted has no role in setting their policy positions.

DewWorst’s commercials continue to call Ted Cruz a ?trial lawyer? implying he is some kind of ambulance chasing crook. Not true. Ted is an appellate lawyer, with a history of defending the Constitution before the nation?s highest courts. Ted argues to courts of appeals and helps ensure that U.S. law is properly applied. As an appellate lawyer, Ted defended the State of Texas as Solicitor General.

Finally, the charges about Ted’s involvement in the representation of a Chinese company against a U.S. company. The man Dewhurst touts as an ?American Manufacturer? moved his company to China 20 years ago. No U.S. jobs were impacted in the litigation between two private companies ? BOTH of which manufacture tires in China.
